Key result
Novel ECG QRS detector hardware achieves ~99% accuracy with low power consumption.
The proposed hardware architecture for ECG QRS complex detection achieves >98.8% accuracy with low area and power consumption, suitable for ultralow power SoCs.
May enable ultralow-power ECG SoCs; leaves open prospective clinical validation before practice change.
This paper proposes a new hardware architecture implementing a low cost, energy efficient electrocardiograph (ECG) QRS complex detector.The proposed architecture can be used as an accelerator in an ultralow power System on Chip (SoC) which is the most important part of ECG devices.The architecture implements the modified version of MaMeMi filter algorithm [1].The architecture is validated using the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia databases.More than 98.8% of all QRS complexes were detected correctly by the architecture.The architecture is synthesized using 45nm CMOS technology and occupies the area of 0.23 mm2 and dissipates the total power of 1.26mW.

A 2015 study studied Arrhythmia (ECG QRS detection). Hardware ECG QRS complex detector (modified MaMeMi filter) was evaluated on QRS complex detection accuracy. The proposed hardware architecture for an ECG QRS complex detector achieved a detection accuracy of 98.88% with a detection error rate of 1.117% while consuming 1.26mW of power.
