Abstract

R peaks detection is one of the uncomplicated tasks, successfully solved for the stationary ECG systems. The finite computational capacities of the recent mobile devices circumscribe applying powerful methods for ECG waves recognition. Proposed in this paper method of R peaks detection is based on the evaluation of the shape of an m sample segment and oriented to develop specific mobile applications conjugated with a portable ECG device. R peaks recognition is performed with the parameters, obtained as the result of polynomial fitting an m sample segment and characterizing the segment shape and position of the segment central point relatively the focus point. The complex of criteria for R peak distinguish was defined as the result of analysis of testing signals from the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database. The algorithm for R peaks searching in an optionally defined time interval was developed and can be used for the formation of RR intervals array for the heart rate monitoring. The sensitivity of the method for the raw signals with positive R peaks and is 99.6%.
