  • Compared the performance of different techniques based on mean squared error and peak error.

    • Main Results:

    • Slope change detection, applied to prefiltered ECG data, can represent signals at 2 bits/sample.
    • This method maintained mean squared error below 1% and peak error below 5%.
    • Original ECG data could be quantized to 6 bits without substantial waveform information loss, indicating a 3:1 compression ratio.

    Conclusions:

    • Quantization is an effective technique for ECG data reduction.
    • Slope change detection provides significant data compression for ECG signals.
    • This approach offers a practical solution for efficient ECG data management and transmission.
