Abstract

Electrocardiographic (ECG) signals can be used for both monitoring and diagnosis of diseases, which is also dependent on storage and transmission infrastructures. Nonetheless, as memory and transmission bandwidth are finite resources, its is necessary to compress ECG data. Besides, with respect to remote monitoring, it is interesting that the target hardware be simple and affordable. The present work tackles the mentioned problem and proposes a new ECG compression methodology, where experiments with a real implementation showed that such an approach is feasible and also effective, as long as aligned with an application's specific conditions.
