ArrythML: An Autoencoder-Based TinyML Approach for On-Device Arrhythmia Detection on Resource-Constrained Embedded Systems

arXiv:2606.02256v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Our work presents a method for ECG segmentation and arrhythmia detection using Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML) models for real-time, on-device inference on resource-constrained embedded systems. We develop INT8 quantized autoencoder-based TinyML models with minimal layers and parameters for embedded deployment. These models are evaluated using a custom dataset derived from the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database and validated in both PC-based simulations and on-device environments. For the evaluations, over 95,000 ECG segments are processed on an ESP32-S3
