ADAPTIVE SELECTION OF DIGITAL ECG FILTER

A method and system for filtering a detected ECG signal are disclosed. In a first aspect, the method comprises filtering the detected ECG signal using a plurality of digital filters. The method includes adaptively selecting one of the plurality of digital filters to maintain a minimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In a second aspect, the system comprises a wireless sensor device coupled to a user via at least one electrode, wherein the wireless sensor device includes a processor and a memory device coupled to the processor, wherein the memory device stores an application which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to carry out the steps of the method.
