Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Informatics
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Physicians require advanced digital pattern recognition algorithms for accurate signal analysis.
  • Existing algorithms often lack the necessary recognition, accuracy, reliability, and flexibility for diverse signal time-courses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a microcomputer-based algorithm for digital pattern recognition in medical signals.
  • To assess the algorithm's performance in recognizing specific electrocardiogram (ECG) waves, including R-waves and P-T patterns.

Main Methods:

  • The algorithm utilizes Walsh-transformation of signal sections combined with in-image judging.
  • Implementation was performed on a Z80 microprocessor and a Z8 single-chip computer.

Main Results:

  • The algorithm achieved a 98.8% recognition ratio for R-waves with a 2.3% failure rate.
  • An initial common P-T pattern was recognized in 80.3% of cases with a 4.9% failure rate.
  • The algorithm demonstrated efficiency in solving simple tasks and recognizing complex ECG patterns.

Conclusions:

  • The developed microcomputer algorithm offers a flexible and reliable solution for digital pattern recognition in medical signals.
  • The algorithm's high accuracy in recognizing ECG waves supports its potential clinical utility for physicians.
