Atrial fibrillation (AF), as one of the most common arrhythmia diseases in clinic, is a malignant threat to human health. However, AF is difficult to monitor in real time due to its intermittent nature. Wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring equipment has flourished in the context of telemedicine due to its real-time monitoring and simple operation in recent years, providing new ideas and methods for the detection of AF. In this paper, we propose a low computational cost classification model for robust detection of AF episodes in ECG signals, using RR intervals of the ECG signals and feeding them into artificial neural network (ANN) for classification, to compensate the defect of the computational complexity in traditional wearable ECG monitoring devices. In addition, we compared our proposed classifier with other popular classifiers. The model was trained and tested on the AF Termination Challenge Database and MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database. Experimental results achieve the highest sensitivity of 99.3%, specificity of 97.4%, and accuracy of 98.3%, outperforming most of the others in the recent literature. Accordingly, we observe that ANN using RR intervals as an input feature can be a suitable candidate for automatic classification of AF.

This chapter uses intelligent methods based on swarm intelligence and artificial neural network to detect heart disorders based on electrocardiogram signals. This chapter has introduced the methodology undertaken in the denoising, feature extraction, and classification of ECG signals to four heart disorders including the normal heartbeat. It also presents denoising using intelligent methods.

Providing equal healthcare quality on heart diseases are an issue in developing countries, especially in Indonesia, due to is wide-spread areas. It is founded that the heart diseases occur not only in big cities but also in rural areas, that is caused by unhealthy lifestyle and foods. Heart disease itself is a disease with gradually symptoms changes that can be seen based on the hearts' electrical activity or electrocardiogram signals. Now, wearable medical devices are capable to be worn daily, so that, it can monitor our heart condition and alert if there is an abnormality. An embedded device worn on the chest can be used to perform a real-time data acquisition and processing of the electrocardiogram, that consists of a 1-lead ECG, an ARM processor, a Bluetooth module, an SD card, and rechargeable batteries. Also, by performing a digital filter and Tompkins algorithm, we obtain the P-wave presences and the heart rate variability values (heartbeat, average heartbeat, standard deviation, and root mean square) then by using an artificial neural network with 4 input, 6 hidden, and 1 output layers that has multi-layer perceptrons and backpropagation. We are able to perform a pre-diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, that is one of the common arrhythmias, from 41 recorded training samples (Physionet MIT/BIH AFDB and NSRDB) and 6 healthy subjects as test samples. The neural network has 0.1% error rate and needed 31548 epochs to train itself for classification the heart disease. Based on the results, this prototype can be used as a medical-grade wearable device thatcan help cardiologist in giving an early warning on the user's heart condition, so that it can prevent sudden death due to heart diseases in rural areas.

This article aims to describe the accuracy of signal processing using neural networks. The design of this final project hardware consists of Arduino Uno, AD8232 module and electrodes. ECG signals obtained from respondents were used as test data for normal ECG signals, while for abnormal class test data the data used were obtained from the research website, namely physionet with atrial fibrillation class. The design process in this system includes the process of data acquisition, training, feature extraction, testing and classification with artificial neural networks. Based on the results of the performance of this device to record ECG signals on respondents obtained normal ECG signals because the results of recorded ECG signals have a similarity in the PQRST wave with a predetermined target. This system can detect the classification of the heart by recognizing the statistical characteristics of the two signal classes and is trained using neural networks. Based on the testing process using an artificial neural network obtained an accuracy of 76.9%.

The study of metals in impact bending and indentation is considered. A bench is developed for assessing the character of failure on the example of 45 steel at low temperatures using the classification of acoustic emission signal pulses and a trained artificial neural network. The results of fractographic studies of samples on impact bending correlate well with the results of pulse recognition in the acoustic emission signal. Keywords acoustic emission, classification, artificial neural network, low temperature, character of failure, hardness. [email protected]
