Arrhythmia Classifier Based on Ultra-Lightweight Binary Neural Network
share
Reasonably and effectively monitoring arrhythmias through ECG signals has significant implications for human health. With the development of deep learning, numerous ECG classification algorithms based on deep learning have emerged. However, most existing algorithms trade off high accuracy for complex models, resulting in high storage usage and power consumption. This also inevitably increases the difficulty of implementation on wearable Artificial Intelligence-of-Things (AIoT) devices with limited resources. In this study, we proposed a universally applicable ultra-lightweight binary neural network(BNN) that is capable of 5-class and 17-class arrhythmia classification based on ECG signals. Our BNN achieves 96.90 precision 98.00 respectively, with state-of-the-art storage usage (3.76 KB and 4.45 KB). Compared to other binarization works, our approach excels in supporting two multi-classification modes while achieving the smallest known storage space. Moreover, our model achieves optimal accuracy in 17-class classification and boasts an elegantly simple network architecture. The algorithm we use is optimized specifically for hardware implementation. Our research showcases the potential of lightweight deep learning models in the healthcare industry, specifically in wearable medical devices, which hold great promise for improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
