Fusion: Practice and Applications FPA 2692-4048 2770-0070 10.54216/FPA https://www.americaspg.com/journals/show/558 2018 2018 Improving Cloud-based ECG Monitoring, Detection and Classification using GAN Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology, Delhi, INDIA S Hariharan Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology, Delhi, INDIA Monika Gupta Internet of Things (IoT) based healthcare applications have grown exponentially over the past decade. With the increasing number of fatalities due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), it is the need of the hour to detect any signs of cardiac abnormalities as early as possible. This calls for automation in the detection and classification of said cardiac abnormalities by physicians. The problem here is that there is not enough data to train Deep Learning models to classify ECG signals accurately because of the sensitive nature of data and the rarity of certain cases involved in CVDs. In this paper, we propose a framework that involves Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) to create synthetic training data for the classes with fewer data points to improve the performance of Deep Learning models trained with the dataset. With data being input from sensors via the cloud and this model to classify the ECG signals, we expect the framework to be functional, accurate, and efficient. 2020 2020 42 49 10.54216/FPA.020201 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/3/show/558
