Abstract
Electrocardiography is an important method used in physiological signals to detect arrhythmia. At present, related researches in the architecture of Electrocardiography system can be classed as two kinds: diagnosis support system and recording system. Diagnosis support system has the ability to detect suspected arrhythmia. When the system detects abnormal signals, it will send alarm or begin to transmit the detected signals to the hospital. However, the recording system will directly store the original signal into the memory or sent all the data to hospital. But the amount of data may be too huge. Generally, the system will transmit the data after compression.
Our research proposes an integrated diagnosis support system with compression. It has the advantages of the previous two types of systems. We implement the architecture base on FPGA. Therefore, the system can achieve real-time work since the FPGA has high performance computing ability and speed. Furthermore, partial reconfiguration technology of FPGA is used to save internal logic, power consumption, and cost. When the system is converted to application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), it will be appropriate to used as a portable device.
