Analysis of the Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is the pre-requisite for the clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. ECG signal is degraded by artifacts such as baseline drift and noises which appear during the acquisition phase. The effect of impulse and Gaussian noises is randomly distributed whereas baseline drift generally affects the baseline of the ECG signal; these artifacts induce interference in the diagnosis of cardio diseases. The influence of these artifacts on the ECG signals needs to be removed by suitable ECG signal processing scheme. This paper proposes combination of non linear morphological operators for the noise and baseline drift removal. Non flat structuring elements of varying dimensions are employed with morphological filtering to achieve low distortion as well as good noise removal. Simulation outcomes illustrate noteworthy improvement in baseline drift yielding lower values of MSE and PRD; on the other hand high signal to noise ratios depicts suppression of impulse and Gaussian noises.

Electrocardiogram is the record of electrical activity of heart. ECG is a test to detect and study normal rhythmic activity of the heart. Signal processing are very often used methods in a biomedical engineering research. This paper presents Bradycardia detection by utilization of digital signal filtering on electrocardiogram (ECG) using MATLAB. MATLAB was used to analyze and process ECG dataset gotten from Physionet online database with focus on R-R peaks to calculate the heartbeat, by applying high pass filtering and squaring the signal. The results obtained using MATLAB for ECG analysis and detection of arrhythmia is very fast and useful.

Jacket-Haar transform has been recently generalized from Haar transform and Jacket transform, but, unfortunately, it is not available in a case where the lengthNis not a power of 2. In this paper, we have proposed an arbitrary-length Jacket-Haar transform which can be conveniently constructed from the 2-point generalized Haar transforms with the fast algorithm, and thus it can be constructed with any sizes. Moreover, it can be further extended with elegant structures, which result in the fast algorithms for decomposing. We show that this approach can be practically applied for the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal processing. Simulation results show that it is more efficient than the conventional fast Fourier transform (FFT) in signal processing.

ECG signal differs from individual to individual, making it hard to be emulated and copied. In recent times ECG is being used for identifying the person. Hence, there is a requirement for a system that involves digital signal processing and signal security so that the saved data are secured at one place and an authentic person can see and use the ECG signal for further diagnosis. The study presents a set of security solutions that can be deployed in a connected healthcare territory, which includes the partially homomorphic encryption (PHE) techniques used to secure the electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. This is to record confidentially and prevent the information from meddling, imitating and replicating. First, Pan and Tompkins’s algorithm was applied to perform the ECG signal processing. Then, partially homomorphic encryption (PHE) technique - Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) algorithm was used to encrypt the ECG signal by using the public key. The PHE constitutes a gathering of semantically secure encryption works that permits certain arithmetical tasks on the plaintext to be performed straightforwardly on the ciphertext. The study shows a faster and 90% accurate result before and after encryption that indicates the lightweight and accuracy of the RSA algorithm. Secure ECG signal provides innovation in multiple healthcare sectors such as medical research, patient care and hospital database.
