The Automated Heart Disease Detection System with Dry-Electrode Based Outdoor Shirts

The typical method of monitoring arrhythmia is to use a body patch type sensor with a wet electrode. It has several problems caused by wet electrodes for long-term monitoring. Thus, we develop a Smart Outhdoor Shirts equipped with a dry electrode electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor for a cardiac arrhythmia computer aided diagnosis system in this study. The sensor can be inserted in a console close to the chest, charged, used to communicate wirelessly, and connected with a smartphone application. According to experiments, the ECG signals measured by the smart shirt indicated that 97 5±1% of the signals could be measured in an immobile state and at least 85. 2±2% of the signals could be measured during movement. In addition, we propose a computer aided diagnosis system for detecting cardiac arrhythmia. It was determined through experiments that the system can detect arrhythmia with an accuracy of 98. 2±2 %.
