ELECTROCARDIOGRAM DATA COMPRESSION TECHNIQUES IN 1D/2D DOMAIN

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the best representatives of physiological signal that provides the state of the autonomic nervous system, primarily responsible for the cardiac activity. The ECG data compression plays a significant role in localized digital storage or efficient communication channel utilization in telemedicine applications. The lossless and lossy compression system’s compressor efficiency depends on the methodologies used for compression and the quality measure used to evaluate distortion. Based on domain ECG, data compression can be performed either one-dimensional (1D) or two-dimensional (2D) for utilization of inter and inter with intra beat correlation, respectively. In this paper, a comparative study between 1D and 2D ECG data compression methods was taken out from the existing literature to provide an update in this regard. ECG data compression techniques and algorithms in 1D and 2D domain have their own merits and limitations. Recently, numerous research and techniques in 1D ECG data compression have been developed, including direct and transformed domain. Additionally, 2D ECG data compression research is reported based on period normalization and complexity sorting in recent times. Finally, several practical issues highlight the assessment of reconstructed signal quality and performance comparisons with an average comparative of exhaustive existing 1D and 2D ECG compression methods based on the utilized digital signal processing systems.

An enhanced lossless compression with cryptography hybrid mechanism for ECG biomedical signal monitoring

Due to their use in daily life situation, demand for remote health applications and e-health monitoring equipment is growing quickly. In this phase, for fast diagnosis and therapy, information can be transferred from the patient to the distant clinic. Nowadays, the most chronic disease is cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the storage and transmission of the ECG signal, consumes more energy, bandwidth and data security which is faced many challenges. Hence, in this work, we present a combined approach for ECG data compression and cryptography. The compression is performed using adaptive Huffman encoding and encrypting is done using AES (CBC) scheme with a 256-bit key. To increase the security, we include Diffie-Hellman Key exchange to authenticate the receiver, RSA key generation for encrypting and decrypting the data. Experimental results show that the proposed approach achieves better performance in terms of compression and encryption on MIT-BIH ECG dataset.
