False Alarm Reduction in Self-Care by Personalized Automatic Detection of ECG Electrode Cable Interchanges by Jocelyne Fayn, Paul Rubel

“…False alarm reduction is an important challenge in self-care, whereas one of the most important false alarm causes in the cardiology domain is electrodes misplacements in ECG recordings, the main investigations to perform for early and pervasive detection of cardiovascular diseases. In this context, we present and assess a new method for electrode reversals identification for Mason-Likar based 3D ECG recording systems which are especially convenient to use in self-care and allow to achieve, as previously reported, high computerized ischemia detection accuracy. …”
