This chapter uses intelligent methods based on swarm intelligence and artificial neural network to detect heart disorders based on electrocardiogram signals. This chapter has introduced the methodology undertaken in the denoising, feature extraction, and classification of ECG signals to four heart disorders including the normal heartbeat. It also presents denoising using intelligent methods.

The heart is an important part of the human body, functioning to pump blood through the circulatory system. Heartbeats generate a signal called an ECG signal. ECG signals or electrocardiogram signals are basic raw signals to identify and classify heart function based on heart rate. Its main task is to analyze each signal in the heart, whether normal or abnormal. This paper discusses some of the classification methods which most frequently used to classify ECG signals. These methods include pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification methods such as MLP, K-NN, SVM, CNN, and RNN. There were two stages of ECG classification, the feature extraction stage and the classification stage. Before ECG features were extracted, raw ECG signal data first processed in the pre-processing stage because ECG signals were not necessarily free of noise. Noise will cause a decrease in accuracy during the classification process. After features were extracted, ECG signals were then classified with the classification method. Neural Network methods such as CNN and RNN are best to use since they can give better accuracy. For further research, the machine learning method needs to be improved to get high accuracy and high precision in the ECG signals classification.

This study documents our efforts to provide computer support for the diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF). That computer support takes the form of an index value. A high index value indicates a low probability of CHF, and an index value below a threshold of 25.6 suggests a high probability of CHF. To create that index, we have designed a sophisticated algorithm chain which takes electrocardiogram signals as input. The signals are pre-processed before they are sent to a range of nonlinear feature extraction algorithms. The top 10 feature extraction methods were used to create the CHF index. By using objective feature extraction algorithms, we avoid the problem of inter- and intra-observer variability. We observed that the nonlinear feature extraction methods reflect the nature of the human heart very well. That observation is based on the fact that the nonlinear features achieved low [Formula: see text]-values and high feature ranking criterion scores.

Combination of computer sciences and electronics has resulted in one of the most remarkable technologies of the recent years called internet of things, considered as a challenge in electronic health systems for taking care of patients. Internet of things presents a promising paradigm for management of digital identification in the form of service customization. The effect of internet of things on healthcare is still in its preliminary stages and requires a substantial development. Various equipment and services are developed and utilized for health systems by providing different things to establish communication and information provision to users at any conditions or places. In this paper, attempts have been made to detect electrocardiogram (ECG) signal through a wireless simple sensing network of body using internet of things operating based on classification and feature extraction.
