Claim One:
1. A system for the analysis of ECG signals, the system comprising: at least one readout channel, configured to receive an analogue ECG signal acquired from at least one electrode attached to a body, and to extract analogue signals comprising an analogue measured ECG signal and analogue electrode-skin impedance signals; at least one ADC, configured to convert the extracted analogue signals at the readout channel into digital signals; a digital adaptive filter unit, configured to calculate a digital motion artifact estimate based on said digital versions of the measured ECG signal and the electrode-skin impedance signals; at least one DAC, configured to convert said digital motion artifact estimate into an analogue motion artifact estimate signal; and a feedback loop for sending said analogue motion artifact estimate signal back to the readout channel configured to deduct said analogue motion artifact estimate signal from said analogue measured ECG signal.
