Standard 12-lead ECG synthesis from homecare wearable measures

A new method to synthesize a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) from a smaller subset of leads have been proposed. It is based on a mathematical model of the heart, which behaves as a source for the electric field. This model obtains an estimation of the voltage at any point of the body surface and describes the transformations needed to relate a subset of m leads (m < 12) to the 12 standard leads. This allows to obtain a high-quality estimation of the standard leads with less electrodes. With this method, a correlation greater than 96 % in the synthesized signal has obtained in all measured subjects, and can be used in a continuous monitoring system that can be used at home by anyone without the help of a health professional.
