ECG + HTM

ECG Anomaly Detection System using HTM

Abstruct

In this projects, We build Electrocardiogram(ECG) anomaly detection system using HTM(NuPIC). This system will detect Palpitation, Arrhythmia and Heart Rate anomaly.

System Structure and Usage

There are about three parts of the projects.

Data Collector

It's not difficult to make your own ECG device. If you are not interested in collecting data by yourself, You can skip this part and use data in data directory.

We use

device

Sparkfun's tutorial is very friendly. You can also use Sparkfun's Github Repository to get simple visualization of ECG Data. Visualization output is like this video.

Next, Collect ECG Data through the script.

$ python src/take_data.py > data/foobar.csv

Collected Data have this format.

If you want to visualize collected data, You can use Gnuplot.

$ gnuplot
set datafile separator ","
plot "< head -1000 data/foobar.csv" using 2 with line

FFT Converter

Before detecting anomalous part of the ECG data, We use a signal processing technique, FFT(Fast Fourier Transform). FFT can be used to extract charactaristics of data sequence. Numpy library contain FFT, and we use that.

See example for using FFT Converter with ECG data collected by take_data.py. You can also use the preset data of the repository. FFT converter can use like this.

$ python src/fft_converter.py --target healthy_person1
2015-10-17 21:05:12.685818,11.808565811567473,...,10.957521665215634
2015-10-17 21:05:12.701433,11.808734646395951,...,7.7589930598122354
...

You can use --target option to specify the target file's name. Dont's forget to remove .csv string from file name.

FFT Converted data are can be visualized using Gnuplot.

Non uniform parts are corredpond to the anomalous of ECG data.

Anomaly Detection

We use anomaly detection using vector_anomaly.py Script. You shoud use FFT Converted data.

$ python src/vector_anomaly.py 

This is the visualization of the output.
