Remote ECG monitoring systems are advancing in the monitoring of heart diseases, though challenges remain in wearable design, packet loss during transmission, and automated ECG analysis.
This review outlines the current challenges and future developmental strategies for remote ECG monitoring systems.
Technical barriers limit routine clinical use of remote ECG monitoring; leaves open targeted research on wearables, transmission, and automated analysis.
Remote ECG monitoring systems are becoming commonplace medical devices for remote heart monitoring. In recent years, remote ECG monitoring systems have been applied in the monitoring of various kinds of heart diseases, and the quality of the transmission and reception of the ECG signals during remote process kept advancing. However, there remains accompanying challenges. This report focuses on the three components of the remote ECG monitoring system: patient (the end user), the doctor workstation, and the remote server, reviewing and evaluating the imminent challenges on the wearable systems, packet loss in remote transmission, portable ECG monitoring system, patient ECG data collection system, and ECG signals transmission including real-time processing ST segment, R wave, RR interval and QRS wave, etc. This paper tries to clarify the future developmental strategies of the ECG remote monitoring, which can be helpful in guiding the research and development of remote ECG monitoring.
