Event detector for monitoring waveforms of physical phenomena, e.g. heartbeats

摘要

The detector has a signal input, a number of detectors which respond to the signal input, and an output which responds to the detector outputs. The detectors respond to the morphologies of the input signal, each responding to a single morphology. The detectors may comprise one or more of the following: artificial neural networks, adaptive filters, fuzzy networks, expert systems or syntactic and probabilistic pattern matchers. Independent claims are also provided for a method of detecting QRS signals and a QRS detector.
