Abstract

This paper discusses the recording and compression analysis of an Electrogastrogram (EGG), a non-invasive instrument that visually represents the electrical activity of the stomach to diagnose stomach illnesses. The EGG signal’s compression is important in the diagnosis, prognosis, and survival analysis of all stomach-related disorders, especially in telemedicine applications where the patient is geographically isolated. Over the years, several signal compression algorithms have been presented. High cost, signal degradation, and a low compression ratio are just a few drawbacks that result in an inefficient signal at the receiver’s end. The advantages of EGG compression in digital domain for telemedicine applications are effective utilization of storage data, reduced data transmission rate, and efficient transmission bandwidth. Various wavelet transformations such as biorthogonal, coiflet, daubechies, haar, reverse biorthogonal, and symlet wavelet transforms are applied to EGG signals and examined using MATLAB software in this paper. The wavelet’s performance was evaluated to select the best wavelet for telemedicine. This is accomplished by a quantitative analysis of the recovery ratio, percent root mean square difference (PRD), and compression ratio (CR) measurements. The findings of this study in terms of determining the optimal signal compression performance can undoubtedly become a valuable asset in the telemedicine area for the transmission of quantitative biological signals.
