The timely detection of abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is vital for preventing heart disease. However, traditional automated cardiology diagnostic methods have the limitation of being unable to simultaneously identify multiple diseases in a segment of ECG signals, and do not consider the potential correlations between the 12-lead ECG signals. To address these issues, this paper presents a novel network architecture, denoted as Branched Convolution and Channel Fusion Network (BCCF-Net), designed for the multi-label diagnosis of ECG cardiology to achieve simultaneous identification of multiple diseases.

Many data collection algorithms that constructed a path and adopted one or more mobile sinks to collect data along the paths have been proposed in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, the efficiency of the established paths still can be improved.

This study aimed to provide scientific evidence on Gaussian modelling characteristics changes derived from the finger photoplethysmographic (PPG) pulses during exercise and recovery. 65 healthy subjects (18 female and 47 male) were recruited.
