Abstract
In this paper we leverage the power of smartphone to enable proactive in-house heart condition monitoring. We introduce Heart-Trend, a nonparametric model to analyze and detect heart abnormality conditions like arrhythmia from photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal. It does on-demand heart status monitoring using smartphones (can also be implemented in PC/ICU monitors) and facilitates timely detection of heart condition deterioration to permit early diagnosis and prevention of fatal heart diseases. Proposed robust anomaly analytics engine accurately detects the morphological trend to find abnormal heart condition in real time through machine learning based trend prediction. PPG signal is frequently corrupted by ambient noise, and motion artifacts, which lead to high amount of false alarms. We introduce precise denoising technique that identifies and eliminates the corrupted segments of clinical signal to minimize its impact on the decision process and analytics. We demonstrate that Heart-Trend ensures high detection capability with lower false alarm rates.
