Key result
A proposed lossless ECG compression and transmission scheme using GSM SMS achieved a compression ratio of 7.18 with a PRD of 0.023% and a Quality Score of 312.17.
Why the study?
Does the proposed lossless ECG compression scheme efficiently compress and transmit ECG data without altering clinical information?
Does the proposed lossless ECG compression scheme efficiently compress and transmit ECG data without altering clinical information?
The proposed lossless ECG compression algorithm enables efficient transmission via GSM SMS with a high compression ratio and excellent quality score without altering clinical information.
May facilitate remote ECG transmission; leaves open prospective clinical validation before adoption.
Software based efficient lossless Electrocardiogram compression and transmission scheme is proposed here. The algorithm has been tested to various ECG data taken from PTB Diagnostic ECG Database. The compression scheme is such that it outputs only ASCII characters. These characters are transmitted using Global System for Mobile Communication based Short Message Service system and at the receiving end original ECG signal is brought back using the reverse logic of compression. It is observed that the proposed algorithm offers a moderate to high compression ratio (7.18) without any alteration of clinical information (PRD = 0.023%) with an excellent Quality Score (312.17).

Mukhopadhyay et al. (2013) studied Electrocardiogram (ECG) data. Lossless Electrocardiogram compression and transmission scheme was evaluated on Compression ratio, PRD, and Quality Score. A proposed lossless ECG compression and transmission scheme using GSM SMS achieved a compression ratio of 7.18 with a PRD of 0.023% and a Quality Score of 312.17.
