Abstract
Real-time electrocardiogram (“ECG”) monitoring system for wearable devices. Embodiments of the invention are based on parallel Delta modulator architecture with local maximum point and local minimum point algorithms to detect QRS and PT waves. The parallel Delta modulators preferably convert ECG signals to two channels of three-state Delta modulated bitstreams. Using embodiments of the invention, real-time PR and RT intervals, as well as ST segment measurements, can be achieved in long-term wearable ECG recording devices.
Claims (7)
1 . An electrocardiogram sensing and processing apparatus comprising:
a second-order Delta modulator circuit configured to subtract an integrated feedback voltage from an electrocardiogram signal and to generate a delta voltage, wherein the second-order Delta modulator circuit comprises a parallel Delta modulator circuit which comprises a pair of second-order Delta modulator circuits arranged in parallel with one another such that a first Delta modulator circuit of said pair of second-order Delta modulator circuits is configured to process a bit stream from a QRS wave and a second of said pair of second-order Delta modulator circuits is configured to process a bit stream from a PT wave; and
non-transitory computer-readable media comprising a digital logic algorithm stored thereon, said digital logic algorithm configured to provide delineation to extract at least a plurality of fiducial points from the electrocardiogram signal during analog to digital conversion comprising Delta modulated bitstreams.
2 . The electrocardiogram sensing and processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said second-order Delta modulator circuit is configured to convert the electrocardiogram signal into two digital bitstreams, wherein a first of the two digital bitstreams represents a rising slope of the electrocardiogram signal and wherein a second of the two digital bitstreams represents a falling slope of the electrocardiogram signal.
3 . The electrocardiogram sensing and processing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the two digital bitstreams control a feedback voltage switch and wherein the feedback voltage switch is configured to control a feedback voltage and wherein the feedback voltage is integrated in an integrator.
4 . The electrocardiogram sensing and processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said second-order Delta modulator circuit further comprises a tri-state comparator.
5 . The electrocardiogram sensing and processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said electrocardiogram sensing and processing apparatus is configured to record at least two fiducial points selected from the list consisting of an onset, peak, and end points of any one or more items selected from a list consisting of P, Q, and R waves of the electrocardiogram signal.
