Abstract: With the rise of wearable IoT devices such as smartwatches and smart rings, ECG signals have become more accessible and made cardiovascular monitoring a reality. However, analyzing the ECG signals for complex conditions, such as bundle branch blocks and myocardial infarction, requires multi-lead ECG data. Although various deep learning models for ECG reconstruction have been proposed, they are computationally expensive and unsuitable on resource-constrained wearable IoT devices. To address this challenge, we propose mEcgNet, a parameter-efficient model for reconstructing 12-lead ECG signals from a single lead. mEcgNet introduces a modular deep learning architecture for parameter efficiency and separates the single lead-I signal into multiple frequency segments to improve accuracy. Our experiments demonstrate that mEcgNet significantly reduces the number of parameters and inference time by \(\sim \)23.1\(\times \) and \(\sim \)5.4\(\times \), respectively, compared to existing state-of-the-art models. Furthermore, it reduces the reconstruction error by \(\sim \)22.1%, demonstrating its high accuracy and efficiency.
