Deep learning algorithm for arrhythmia detection

Most of cardiovascular disorders or diseases can be prevented, but death continues to rise due to improper treatment because of misdiagnose. One of cardiovascular diseases is Arrhythmia. It is sometimes difficult to observe electrocardiogram (ECG) recording for Arrhythmia detection. Therefore, it needs a good learning method to be applied in the computer as a way to help the detection of Arrhythmia. There is a powerful approach in Machine Learning, named Deep Learning. It starts to be widely used for Speech Recognition, Bioinformatics, Computer Vision, and many others. This research used the Deep Learning to classify the Arrhythmia data. We compared the result to other popular machine learning algorithm, such as Naive Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbor, Artificial Neural Network, and Support Vector Machine. Our experiment showed that Deep Learning algorithm achieved the best accuracy, which was 76,51%.
