A ±6ms-accuracy, 0.68mm2 and 2.21μW QRS detection ASIC

Healthcare issues arose from population aging. Meanwhile, electrocardiogram (ECG) is a powerful measurement tool. The first step of ECG is to detect QRS complexes. A state-of-the-art QRS detection algorithm was modified and implemented. By the dedicated architecture design, the novel ASIC is proposed with 2.21 μW power consumption and 0.68mm2 core area. It is the smallest QRS detection ASIC so far in the world. In addition, the positive prediction of the ASIC is 99.36% based on the MIT/BIH arrhythmia database certification.
