TLDR
A real-time algorithm that reliably recognizes QRS complexes based upon digital analyses of slope, amplitude, and width of ECG signals and automatically adjusts thresholds and parameters periodically to adapt to such ECG changes as QRS morphology and heart rate.
Abstract
We have developed a real-time algorithm for detection of the QRS complexes of ECG signals. It reliably recognizes QRS complexes based upon digital analyses of slope, amplitude, and width. A special digital bandpass filter reduces false detections caused by the various types of interference present in ECG signals. This filtering permits use of low thresholds, thereby increasing detection sensitivity. The algorithm automatically adjusts thresholds and parameters periodically to adapt to such ECG changes as QRS morphology and heart rate. For the standard 24 h MIT/BIH arrhythmia database, this algorithm correctly detects 99.3 percent of the QRS complexes.

PPG Sensor Contact Pressure Should Be Taken Into Account for Cuff-Less Blood Pressure Measurement

TL;DR: This study suggests that widely pursued PPG-based BP measurement devices including those that detect PTT should maintain the CP or include a CP measurement in the calibration equation for deriving BP.

Mining Physiological Conditions from Heart Rate Variability Analysis

TL;DR: This article presents a successfully developed methodology for mining physiological conditions from heart rate variability (HRV) analysis: a decision-tree learning method and a hybrid learning method that combines feature selection, feature extraction, and classifier construction processes.

Does visual fatigue from 3D displays affect autonomic regulation and heart rhythm

TL;DR: The subjects in the 3D-group showed significantly increased heart rates (HR), indicating arousal, and an increased VLF/HF (Very Low Frequency/High Frequency) ratio (a measure of autonomic balance), compared to those in the 2D-groups, indicating that autonomic Balance was not stable in the3D- group.

ECG steganography using curvelet transform

TL;DR: An attempt has been made to use curvelet transforms which permit identifying the coefficients that store the crucial information about diagnosis in ECG steganography to validate that coefficients around zero are ideal for watermarking to minimize deterioration and there is no loss in the data retrieved.

Online digital filters for biological signals: some fast designs for a small computer.

TL;DR: The possibilities for extending the class of lowpass recursive digital filters to include high pass, bandpass, and bandstop filters are described, and experience with a PDP 11 computer has shown that these filters may be programmed simply using machine code, and that online operation at sampling rates up to about 8 kHz is possible.
