Abstract

Robust Telemedicine refers to the provision of reliable remote medical services, which primarily depends on seamless transmission of either recorded signals or video information of patients in compressed form. A wide range of physiological signals which are typically seen in the display monitor of medical instruments including ECG, Blood Pressure, Oxygen levels, EEG signals and others are beneficial if remotely transmitted through reliable channels. Conventionally, the compression techniques applied to the signals are complex and compute-intensive, making it rarely viable at the remote patients’ end, where the compute infrastructure is scarcely available. To address this challenge, the paper introduces a lightweight compression algorithm specifically designed for these tele-healthcare applications. This work transforms the picture of the signal at the source into a compressed array of data points. This array is sent to the remote healthcare facility and then re-constructed into a minimalistic form of the signal. The proposed method offers a compression factor in the range of 3.87× to 2.82× for a variety of signals including EEG, ECG, and SPO2 signals. Additionally, an acceptable SSIM of above 92.10%, and PSNR of above 40 dB is characterized for the reconstructed image of different physiological signals investigated.
