Abstract

The aim of the article is the research and development of an algorithm for finding R-teeth in real time for the ECG signal recorded from non-standard leads. The realization of this goal involves recording the ECG signal from the surface of the human head, signal filtering and development of an algorithm for detecting the QRS complex. Scientific novelty. The proposed algorithm can significantly improve the search for QRS complex from the ECG signal with a high noise level. The presented algorithm does not require significant computing power, so it can be used in body devices with low-power microcontrollers to improve the accuracy of heart rate measurements in everyday life. Conclusions. The obtained results and algorithm can be used for further development and research. All the obtained results are presented in graphical form with a detailed description in this paper.
