Outline of Final Research Achievements

Currently, AEDs are installed in train stations, airports and so on. AEDs analyze the electrocardiogram (ECG) and recognize whether an electrical shock should be applied or not, i.e. the performance of detection algorithms in AEDs is of great importance. However, accurate, quick and reliable detection of ventricular arrhythmia is not easy, and thus many researchers are now tackling the development of ECG detection systems.
On the other hand, we have proposed a high accuracy detection system based on wavelet transform for ECGs (Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)). The objective in this study is that the proposed system is to be in practical use. The work scheduled in the research period has been completed, i.e. we have evaluated the efficiency of the proposed detection system. The proposed system can achieve good performance comparing with the existing results. Thus the proposed detection system can improve the survival rate for patients suffering from sudden cardiac arrest.
