Abstract: A system and method for classifying the phonocardiogram (PCG) signal quality has been described. The system is configured to identify the quality of the PCG signal recording and accepting only diagnosable quality recordings for further cardiac analysis. The system includes the derivation of plurality features of the PCG signal from the training dataset. The extracted features are preprocessed and are then ranked using mRMR algorithm. Based on the ranking the irrelevant and redundant features are rejected if their mRMR strength is less. A training model is generated using the relevant set of features. The PCG signal of the person under test is captured using a digital stethoscope and a smartphone. The PCG signal is preprocessed and only the relevant set of features are extracted. And finally the PCG signal is classified into diagnosable or non-diagnosable using the relevant set of features and a random forest classifier.

Abstract: Non-invasive methods for accurately classifying Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a challenging task. In the present disclosure, a two stage classification is performed. In the first stage of classification, a metadata based rule engine is utilized to classify a subject into one of a confirmed CAD subject, a CAD subject and a non-CAD subject. Here, a set of optimal parameters are selected from a set of metadata associated with the subject based on a difference in frequency of occurrence of the CAD among a disease population and a non-disease population. Further, an optimal threshold associated with each optimal parameter is calculated based on an inflexion based correlation analysis. Further, the CAD subject, classified by the metadata based rule engine is further reclassified in a second stage by utilizing a set of cardiovascular signal into one of the CAD subject and the non-CAD subject.

Abstract: A method and system for detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) in a person using a fusion approach has been described. The invention the detection of CAD in the person by capturing of a plurality of physiological signals such as phonocardiogram (PCG), photoplethysmograph (PPG), ECG, galvanic skin response (GSR) etc. from the person. A plurality of features are extracted from the physiological signals. The person is then classified as CAD or normal using the each of the features independently. The classification is done based on supervised machine learning technique. The output of the classification is then fused and used for the detection of the CAD in the person using a predefined criteria.
