EcgScorer: An open source MATLAB toolbox for ECG signal quality assessment
Cardiovascular diseases claim over 17 million lives annually. Prevention involves adopting healthy habits and regular check-ups, ideally outside hospitals to reduce healthcare costs, leveraging telemedicine tools. However, diagnosing CVDs outside hospitals can be challenging due to noise interference in electrocardiograms (ECGs), necessitating the use of Signal Quality Assessment (SQA) systems. This paper presents a MATLAB toolbox for automated ECG Signal Quality Assessment, featuring a novel method. Furthermore, the toolbox can extract up to 37 Signal Quality Indices (SQIs), commonly used as features in machine learning-based SQA. Therefore, our software has the potential to facilitate the healthcare process, resulting in efficient and cost-effective cardiovascular care.
期刊介绍:
SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
