There is a growing interest in neuromorphic hardware since it offers a more intuitive way to achieve bio-inspired algorithms. This paper presents a neuromorphic model for intelligently processing continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. This model aims to develop a hardware-based signal processing model and avoid employing digitally intensive operations, such as signal segmentation and feature extraction, which are not desired in an analogue neuromorphic system. We apply delay-based reservoir computing as the information processing core, along with a novel training and labelling method. Different from the conventional ECG classification techniques, this computation model is a end-to-end dynamic system that mimics the real-time signal flow in neuromorphic hardware. The input is the raw ECG stream, while the amplitude of the output represents the risk factor of a ventricular ectopic heartbeat. The intrinsic memristive property of the reservoir empowers the system to retain the historical ECG information for high-dimensional mapping. This model was evaluated with the MIT-BIH database under the inter-patient paradigm and yields 81% sensitivity and 98% accuracy. Under this architecture, the minimum size of memory required in the inference process can be as low as 3.1 MegaByte(MB) because the majority of the computation takes place in the analogue domain. Such computational modelling boosts memory efficiency by simplifying the computing procedure and minimizing the required memory for future wearable devices.
