Abstract :
Diagnosis of heart health conditions using electrocardiogram is common but high funding and the use of tools that require special expertise limits the spread as a diagnostic tool. The use of phonocardiogram (PCG) based devices can overcome this problem but the presence of noise coincides temporally with heart sound information limiting the development of PCG-based devices. This research conducts signal processing to eliminate noise contained in PCG signals using the Moving Average (MA) and Dual-Tree Discrete Wavelet Transform (DTDWT) methods. The test variations are the Moving Average type in the Moving Average Method, and the thresholding type in the Dual-Tree Discrete Wavelet Transform method. The results of the study show that the Dual-Tree Discrete Wavelet Transform Method is a better method compared to Moving Average to eliminate noise due to its ability to divide the signal into several subband frequencies.
