An independent academy that builds bridges between science, business and politics

The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) is an independent academy with a mission “...to promote engineering and economic sciences and the advancement of business and industry for the benefit of society.” We bring together leading engineers, economists, researchers, entrepreneurs and leaders in business and the public sector, who contribute generously to IVA’s operations through their intellectual capital and their engagement.

A meeting place for Sweden's future

IVA believes in humanity’s capacity to contribute positively to society through the engineering and economic sciences. We run a number of projects and programmes, produce reports, knowledge bases and policy proposals, and organise open seminars and meetings nationwide. We also recognise and encourage the efforts of others by awarding distinctions and grants.

Intelligent ECG Sensing for cardiacarrhythmia detection

Intelligent ECG Sensing for cardiacarrhythmia detection

According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease is responsible for roughly one-third of all deaths worldwide each year, and based on the European Heart Network, this disease causes over 1.8 million premature deaths in EU annually, accounting for 37% of all deaths in EU.

The goal of this project is development of a wearable device capable of measuring ECG signals using only two active electrodes that has no direct contact with the patient’s skin. Furthermore, an Intelligent ECG sensing method recognizes the state of heartbeat, learns, and trains the model for detection of various cardiac arrhythmia.

We develop a system that is more sensitive and intelligent than currently available products usable by any person with limited healthcare training. This system is also portable for continuous health monitoring and provide healthcare to anybody, anytime, anywhere, thus it is anticipated that premature deaths from cardiovascular disease to drop significantly.
