Abstract

<p><span lang="EN-US">The paper presents an Internet of Things (IoT) prototype which consists of a data acquisition device wirelessly connected to Internet via Wi-Fi, for continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. The proposed system performs a novel Compressed Sensing (CS) based method on ECG signal with the aim of reducing the amount of transmitted data, thus realizing an efficient way to increase the battery life of such devices. For the assessment of the energy consumption of the device, an experimental setup was arranged and its description is presented. The evaluation of the reconstruction quality of the ECG signal in terms of Percentage of Root-mean-squared Difference (PRD</span><span lang="EN-US">) is reported for several Compression Ratios (CRs</span><span lang="EN-US">). The obtained experimental results clearly demonstrate the robustness and usefulness of the Wi-Fi based IoT devices adopting the considered CS-method for data compression of ECG signals. Furthermore, it allows reducing the energy consumption of the IoT device, by increasing the CR</span><span lang="EN-US">, without significantly degrading the quality of the reconstructed ECG signal.</span></p>
