ECG Estimation using a saw-tooth pattern in remote environments

In this paper a simple and viable on-line method to transmit ECG under hardware restricted environments is derived and its performance illustrated in simulation studies. The proposed scheme makes use of an ECG signal lossless compression technique for the communications channel optimization. Obtaining a better compression rate guarantees both the sending costs and the memory resources reduction. Simulation results show lossless compression ratios superior to 50% without restrictive requests to the application system. The main success of this research is that it gives adequate assurance for the implementation of a feasible and reliable prototype in mobile environments for remote monitoring.
