Wearable EMG-based Muscle Monitoring System for Mobile Health M Arun Kumar, M. Kalimuthu, T Praveen, P Ram Viknesh, R Saravana Pandian Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Electronics and Sustainable Communication Systems Icesc 2025, 2025 Traditional electromyography (EMG) systems are frequently large, costly, and only suitable for clinical or laboratory settings, which limits their usage in routine health monitoring, athletic training, and rehabilitation. In order to facilitate real-time monitoring, analysis, and feedback of muscle contractions, this research suggests a wearable surface EMG (sEMG) device that is lightweight, low-power, and easily connects with a mobile application. The gadget uses a sensor array based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to record sEMG signals and send them to an Android app that tracks performance, offers visual feedback, and creates customized training plans. Meaningful metrics including amplitude, contraction duration, and fatigue levels are extracted using signal processing techniques like mean absolute value (MAV) and root mean square (RMS). High signal accuracy, user comfort, and ease of use were proven in preliminary testing with healthy subjects. The findings show that the suggested system is a viable substitute for conventional EMG systems and a portable, affordable option appropriate for tele-rehabilitation, home therapy, and mobile health (mHealth) applications.

Sleep Disorder Detection using Fully Convolutional Neural Networks for Sleep Arrhythmia Analysis M. Arun Kumar, Arvind Chakrapani 2023 1st International Conference on Advances in Electrical Electronics and Computational Intelligence Icaeeci 2023, 2023 One of the most vital parts of the human body is the heart, which circulates blood throughout the body and transports oxygen, nutrition, and waste products. However, the shift in lifestyle and environmental factors results in an aberrant heart's ability to beat. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide and the most prominent health concern today, impacting people of all ages. Heart and blood vascular illnesses are grouped as CVDs. The two primary subtypes of cardiac arrhythmias (CAs), a category of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), are atrial and ventricular. According to WHO estimates, around 61% of individuals globally have CVD. In percentage terms, the disease affects 15%, 10%, 5%, and 5% of the population. The benefits of a wavelet-based VS method are merged with WF in the hybrid VS/WF technique. EMG interference and power-line interference are two examples of noise sources used to gauge the efficacy of the hybrid VS/WF technique. Numerous quality indicators are also looked at. VS/WF hybrid's performance is compared to well-known thresholding techniques including Visu Shrink, Global SURE Shrink, and hybrid threshold approach. The latter of the three threshold techniques Hybrid, Global SURE Shrink, and Visu Shrink is the best.In order to evaluate how well TNN works when supervised learning techniques are applied, three optimization approaches Gauss-Newton, Newton Raphson, and Leven berg Marquard are used. The de-noised ECG data undergo additional processing in order to extract characteristics. A number of domains, including Time, Frequency, and Time-Frequency (Wavelet) domains, are used to extract the characteristics. Auto-regressive (AR) coefficients are extracted in the time domain. While relative wavelet energy is extracted in the wavelet domain at various decomposition levels, Power Spectral Density (PSD) values are recovered in the frequency domain. These characteristics are used to construct an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) that is fully connected and has an accuracy performance rating of (96.85%) for classifying arrhythmias.A more effective de-noising, feature extraction, and classification model based on Conventional Neural Networks (CNN) are also developed. Compared to ANN, the performance is judged as having (99.2%) accuracy. Therefore, the suggested CNN model is helpful to physicians in reaching the ultimate diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AFIB), atrial flutter (AFL), and ventricular fibrillation. It incorporates de-noising, feature extraction, and classification VT with Ventricular Fibrillation (VFL).
