AI-Driven Real-Time Classification of ECG Signals for Cardiac Monitoring Using i-AlexNet Architecture

Abstract

The healthcare industry has evolved with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), which uses advanced computational methods and algorithms, leading to quicker inspection, forecasting, evaluation and treatment. In the context of healthcare, artificial intelligence (AI) uses sophisticated computational methods to evaluate, decipher and draw conclusions from patient data. AI has the potential to revolutionize the healthcare industry in several ways, including better managerial effectiveness, individualized treatment regimens and diagnostic improvements. In this research, the ECG signals are preprocessed for noise elimination and heartbeat segmentation. Multi-feature extraction is employed to extract features from preprocessed data, and an optimization technique is used to choose the most feasible features. The i-AlexNet classifier, which is an improved version of the AlexNet model, is used to classify between normal and anomalous signals. For experimental evaluation, the proposed approach is applied to PTB and MIT_BIH databases, and it is observed that the suggested method achieves a higher accuracy of 98.8% compared to other works in the literature.
