Abstract: Wireless ECG devices are the latest novelty in the field of electrocardiography. ECG is commonly used in healthcare systems to observe cardiac activity, however wireless devices bring new challenges to the field of ECG monitoring. These challenges include limited battery capacity, as well as increased data storage requirements caused by daily uninterrupted ECG measurements. Both of these issues can be mitigated by introducing an efficient compression technique. This paper explores two direct data compression methods for ECG data: delta coding and Huffman coding, as well as their variations. We performed experiments both on measurements from a wireless ECG sensor – the Savvy ECG sensor, as well as on measurements from a standard public ECG database – the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database. We were able to select suitable parameters for delta coding for efficient compression of multiple ECG recordings from the Savvy ECG sensor, with a compression ratio of 1.6.
