Open source Java-based ECG analysis software and Android app for Atrial Fibrillation screening

The development of mHealth applications could facilitate the decrease of the healthcare costs in both high income and low to middle income regions. However, it is essential that mHealth software is validated on public databases. Moreover, public scrutiny of the algorithms is likely to lead to faster and lower cost innovation. In this paper, we therefore present a novel Java-based Android application offering advanced Electrocardiogram (ECG) processing techniques, including signal quality analysis and Atrial Fibrillation (AF) screening.
