Description
Summary:Continuous monitoring of heart function can considerably decrease the percent of the sudden deaths caused by heart diseases since in this case there are a good chances that the help is rendered in time. Since in long-term heart examination huge amounts of data are generated a tool of effective data compression is needed. Recently several algorithms of biosignal compression were proposed by researchers. In this paper the results of adapting the algorithms based on wavelet transform to the constraints of mobile devices are presented. The crossplatform library implementing the ECG compression functions was constructed.
