A large proportion of cardiovascular diseases might be preventable, however, majority of this diseases occurs in rural areas where there is a poor presence of cardiologists. To overcome this issue, the use of wearable devices within the telemedicine framework would be of benefit. However, implementation of processing algorithms in smart-phones at mobile environments imposes restrictions ensuring high measurement quality of acquired ECG data, while maintaining low computation burden. This work presents an algorithm for scoring the quality of measured ECG recordings is developed. Particularly, a quality score is provided that takes into account the proportional correlation observed in acceptable signals based on a diversity scheme, and their inverse relation with standard deviation. Testing of proposed algorithm is carried out upon two different databases, the first one is of own production, while the second one is obtained from Physionet. As a result, high values of sensitivity and specificity are achieved.
