Abstract

This paper deals with system development which measures 12 channel ECG using medical analog front end(AFE) and discriminates arrythmia through signal analysis. Recently, occurrences of cardiac arrest have been increased. So the need of system that diagnoses an arrythmia which results in cardiac arrest is increasing. There are some drawbacks of conventional 12 channel ECG system that it occupies bulk and consists of complicated circuit. To improve those, we made up the system composed of medical AFE, algorithm for discriminating arrythmia and DSP for signal processing. This system can be monitored 12 channel ECG waveforms and the discriminant analysis result of arrhythmia through 7" LCD and received the input through touch pannel. In this study, we conducted normal operation test about output signal of ECG simulator(normal/abnormal ECG signal) to verify the implemented system and performance evaluation of the optimization process for applying arrhythmia algorithm to an embedded environment.

본 논문은 의료용 아날로그 프론트 앤드(analog front end; AFE)를 이용하여 12채널 심전도를 측정하고 신호 분석을 통해 부정맥을 판단할 수 있는 시스템 개발에 관한 논문이다. 최근 국내 급성 심정지 발생이 증가하고 있으며 이에 원인이 되는 부정맥을 진단할 수 있는 시스템의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 기존의 12채널 심전도 시스템은 회로 구성이 복잡하고 큰 부피를 차지하는 단점이 있으며 이를 개선하기 위해 본 논문에서는 의료용 AFE와 부정맥을 판단 할 수 있는 알고리즘 및 신호 처리를 위한 DSP로 시스템을 구성하였다. 추가적으로 12채널 심전도의 파형 관찰과 부정맥 판별 결과를 7인치 LCD를 통해 출력하며 터치 패널을 통해 사용자 입력을 받는다. 본 논문에서 구현된 시스템을 검증하기 위해 심전도 시뮬레이터의 출력 신호(정상 신호/부정맥 신호)에 대한 판별 테스트와 부정맥 알고리즘을 임베디드 환경에 적용하기 위한 최적화 과정의 성능 평가를 진행하였다.
