AI Based Portable ECG Monitoring System With Automatic Arrhythmia Detection Using Deep Learning

  INTRODUCTION: In the current generation, heart problems are the leading cause of death and this project provides an effective solution for it. Abnormal heart rhythms, known as arrhythmia, can be easily detected using sensors. In conventional hospital ECG machines, electrode placement causes high signal noise and skin irritation to patients. To overcome these issues, this AI-based portable system is proposed, where a sensor placed on the chest can efficiently monitor heartbeats and identify cardiac diseases. Need for AI in healthcare system At present, there is a huge need for this type of portable ECG system in the healthcare sector. Most rural hospitals do not have expensive 12-lead ECG machines and there are no cardiologists available, so patients don't get diagnosed on time. For ICU patients and old age people at home, continuous heart monitoring is very important to find arrhythmia early and avoid sudden death. So we need a low-cost and portable device which can check a heart...
