Machine Algorithm for Heartbeat Monitoring and Arrhythmia Detection Based on ECG Systems

ECG waveform generation from radar signals: A deep learning perspective

Cardiovascular diagnostics relies heavily on the ECG (ECG), which reveals significant information about heart rhythm and function. Despite their significance, traditional ECG measures employing electrodes have limitations. As a result of extended electrode attachments, patients may experience skin irritation or pain, and motion artifacts may interfere with signal accuracy. Additionally, ECG monitoring usually requires highly trained professionals and specialized equipment, which increases the treatment's complexity and cost. In critical care scenarios, such as continuous monitoring of hospitalized patients, wearable sensors for collecting ECG data may be difficult to use. Although there are issues with ECG, it remains a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring cardiac disorders due to its non-invasive nature and the detailed information it provides about the heart. The goal of this study is to present an innovative method for generating continuous ECG waveforms from non-contact radar data by using Deep Learning. The method can eliminate the need for invasive or wearable biosensors and expensive equipment to collect ECGs. In this paper, we propose the MultiResLinkNet, a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN) model for generating ECG signals from radar waveforms. With the help of a publicly accessible radar benchmark dataset, an end-to-end DL architecture is trained and assessed. There are six ports of raw radar data in this dataset, along with ground truth physiological signals collected from 30 participants in five distinct scenarios: Resting, Valsalva, Apnea, Tilt-up, and Tilt-down. By using strong temporal and spectral measurements, we assessed our proposed framework's ability to convert ECG data from Radar signals in three distinct scenarios, namely Resting, Valsalva, and Apnea (RVA). ECG segmentation performed better by MultiResLinkNet than by state-of-the-art networks in both combined and individual cases. As a result of the simulations, the resting, valsalva, and RVA scenarios showed the highest average temporal values, respectively: 66.09523 ± 19.33, 60.13625 ± 21.92, and 61.86265 ± 21.37. In addition, it exhibited the highest spectral correlation values (82.4388 ± 18.42 (Resting), 77.05186 ± 23.26 (Valsalva), 74.65785 ± 23.17 (Apnea), and 79.96201 ± 20.82 (RVA)), along with minimal temporal and spectral errors in almost every case. The qualitative evaluation revealed strong similarities between generated and actual ECG waveforms. As a result of our method of forecasting ECG patterns from remote radar data, we can monitor high-risk patients, especially those undergoing surgery.

An IoT-fuzzy intelligent approach for holistic management of COVID-19 patients

In this study, an internet of things (IoT)-enabled fuzzy intelligent system is introduced for the remote monitoring, diagnosis, and prescription of treatment for patients with COVID-19. The main objective of the present study is to develop an integrated tool that combines IoT and fuzzy logic to provide timely healthcare and diagnosis within a smart framework. This system tracks patients' health by utilizing an Arduino microcontroller, a small and affordable computer that reads data from various sensors, to gather data. Once collected, the data are processed, analyzed, and transmitted to a web page for remote access via an IoT-compatible Wi-Fi module. In cases of emergencies, such as abnormal blood pressure, cardiac issues, glucose levels, or temperature, immediate action can be taken to monitor the health of critical COVID-19 patients in isolation. The system employs fuzzy logic to recommend medical treatments for patients. Sudden changes in these medical conditions are remotely reported through a web page to healthcare providers, relatives, or friends. This intelligent system assists healthcare professionals in making informed decisions based on the patient's condition.

Analysis of ECG-based arrhythmia detection system using machine learning

The 3D Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) are used in this study to analyze and characterize Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. This technique consists of three stages: ECG signal preprocessing, feature extraction, and ECG signal order. The 3D wavelet transform is a signal preprocessing technique, de-noising, along with wavelet coefficient extraction.•SVM is used to categorize the ECG through each of the nine heartbeat types recognized by the various classifiers. For this work, around 6400 ECG beats were looked at over the China Physiological Signal Challenge (CPSC) 2018 arrhythmia dataset.•The best degree of exactness was acquired when level 4 rough constants with Symlet-8 (Sym8) channel were utilized for arrangement. Utilizing the ECG signals from CPSC 2018 data set, the SVM classifier has a normal precision of 99.02%, which is much better than complex support vector machine (CSVM) 98.5%, and weighted support vector machine (WSVM) 99%.•The suggested approach is far superior to others in terms of accuracy, and classification of several diseases of arrhythmia.

Analysis of e-Mail Spam Detection Using a Novel Machine Learning-Based Hybrid Bagging Technique

e-mail service providers and consumers find it challenging to distinguish between spam and nonspam e-mails. The purpose of spammers is to spread false information by sending annoying messages that catch the attention of the public. Various spam identification techniques have been suggested and evaluated in the past, but the results show that the more research in this regard is required to enhance accuracy and to reduce training time and error rate. Thus, this research proposes a novel machine learning-based hybrid bagging method for e-mail spam identification by combining two machine learning methods: random forest and J48 (decision tree). The proposed framework categorizes the e-mail into ham and spam. The database is split into multiple sets and provided as input to each method in this procedure. Moreover, tokenization, stemming, and stop word removal are performed in the preprocessing stage. Further, correlation feature selection (CFS) is employed in this research to select the required features from the preprocessed data. The effectiveness of the presented method is evaluated in terms of true-negative rates, accuracy, recall, precision, false-positive rate, f-measure, and false-negative rate; the outcomes of three studies are compared. According to the results, the presented hybrid bagged model-based SMD technology achieved 98 percent accuracy.

Fog Computing Service in the Healthcare Monitoring System for Managing the Real-Time Notification

A new computing paradigm that has been growing in computing systems is fog computing. In the healthcare industry, Internet of Things (IoT) driven fog computing is being developed to speed up the services for the general public and save billions of lives. This new computing platform, based on the fog computing paradigm, may reduce latency when transmitting and communicating signals with faraway servers, allowing medical services to be delivered more quickly in both spatial and temporal dimensions. One of the necessary qualities of computing systems that can enable the completion of healthcare operations is latency reduction. Fog computing can provide reduced latency when compared to cloud computing due to the use of only low-end computers, mobile phones, and personal devices in fog computing. In this paper, a new framework for healthcare monitoring for managing real-time notification based on fog computing has been proposed. The proposed system monitors the patient's body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure values obtained from the sensors that are embedded into a wearable device and notifies the doctors or caregivers in real time if there occur any contradictions in the normal threshold value using the machine learning algorithms. The notification can also be set for the patients to alert them about the periodical medications or diet to be maintained by the patients. The cloud layer stores the big data into the cloud for future references for the hospitals and the researchers.
