Transferring An Artifact Handling System Into A Mobile Long-Term Ecg Device With Dry Electrodes

This paper presents a methodology for the transfer of an artifact handling system into a mobile ECG monitoring device. The realization of a well working artifact handling system is achievable even where strong constraints like limited processing power and the use of a textile wearable system with dry ECG electrodes occur. The presented solution can increase the appraisal quality significantly in 24/7 monitoring, where fully automated ECG analysis is necessary. This system is equipped with algorithms for ECG channel selection, baseline wander removal and artifact detection. The outcome is a significant improvement in the automatic QRS detection.
