Hardware/software co-design of two-stage smart arrhythmia classifier based on multi-processor field programmable gate array system-on-chip

Cardiovascular diseases are the top cause of deaths in Malaysia since 2000. Arrhythmia is one of the precursors for cardiovascular disease that can be diagnosed via electrocardiogram (ECG). This research proposes an embedded multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSoC) architecture of in-house smart arrhy...
