Abstract:
A process for analyzing a medical condition of a user comprising the following steps:a) reading at least one signal from the user; b) transforming said at least one signal into at least one digital signal; c) extracting a plurality of parameters from said at least one digital signal, wherein said step of extracting a plurality of parameters comprises the following steps: extracting at least two consecutive R-peaks from said digital signal; analyzing noise in said digital signal between said at least two consecutive R-peaks found from said step of extracting R-peaks; determining at least one significant Râ€”R interval; determining a plurality of pulse metric parameters; and determining a plurality of characteristic points of a QRS complex; d) analyzing said plurality of parameters and comparing said plurality of parameters to a range in a set of a plurality of preset parameters; e) determining whether a user has an abnormal medical condition by determining whether said plurality of parameters fall outside of said range in said plurality of parameters; and f) determining whether to trigger an alarm warning the user of his or her medical condition when said at least one of said plurality of parameters fall outside of said preset ranges for said preset parameters.
