A Level-Crossing Based QRS-Detection Algorithm for Wearable ECG Sensors

TLDR
An asynchronous analog-to-information conversion system is introduced for measuring the RR intervals of the electrocardiogram (ECG) signals and it contains a modified level-crossing analog- to-digital converter and a novel algorithm for detecting the R-peaks from the level-Crossing sampled data in a compressed volume of data.
Abstract
In this paper, an asynchronous analog-to-information conversion system is introduced for measuring the RR intervals of the electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The system contains a modified level-crossing analog-to-digital converter and a novel algorithm for detecting the R-peaks from the level-crossing sampled data in a compressed volume of data. Simulated with MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database, the proposed system delivers an average detection accuracy of 98.3%, a sensitivity of 98.89%, and a positive prediction of 99.4%. Synthesized in 0.13 μm CMOS technology with a 1.2 V supply voltage, the overall system consumes 622 nW with core area of 0.136 mm2 which make it suitable for wearable wireless ECG sensors in body-sensor networks.
