Currently, the most common diagnostic method of arrhythmia is through the analysis of an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) by a medical personnel. This method can be time-consuming as an entire ECG recording may be several minutes long. In this thesis, we present the study into real-time arrhythmic detection using neural networks. Most existing studies either look into arrhythmia classification but not in real-time, or propose a real-time method that does not have an in depth real-time analysis of the run time. We develop a simple convolutional neural network, which takes images of ECG segments as input, and classifies the arrhythmia conditions. One of the limitation of an image-based approach is that, for a time-series dataset, is not the most efficient method for classification. We carry out extensive experiments and evaluated the computational cost of each step of the classification workflow, and our result shows real-time arrhythmic detection using neural network is indeed possible. To further demonstrate the flexibility of this approach, we used the trained model with processed data collected by a customized wearable sensor from a lab setting, and the result shown that the model is highly accurate and efficient.
