The work in this paper helps study cardiac rhythms and the electrical activity of the heart for two of the most critical cardiac arrhythmias. Various consumer devices exist, but implementation of an appropriate device at a certain position on the body at a certain pressure point containing an enormous number of blood vessels and developing filtering techniques for the most accurate signal extraction from the heart is a challenging task. In this paper, we provide evidence of prediction and analysis of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Ventricular Fibrillation (VF). Long-term monitoring of diseases such as AF and VF occurrences is very important, as these will lead to occurrence of ischemic stroke, cardiac arrest and complete heart failure. The AF and VF signal classification accuracy are much higher when processed on a Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) than Central Processing Unit (CPU) or traditional Holter machines. The classifier COMMA-Z filter is applied to the highly-sensitive industry certified Bio PPG sensor placed at the earlobe and computed on GPU.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
