In the application of telemedicine, ECG signal without any patient details is sent to the Doctor end. Consequently, confusion is arisen between signal and patient's identity. To avoid this confusion, it is necessary to combine ECG signals with patient confidential information when sent. In this paper, the Slantlet Transform based ECG signal steganography technique has been introduced to protect patient confidential data. The proposed method allows ECG signal to hide patient confi- dential data and other physiological information. For embedding patient confidential data in ECG signal, the Least Significant Bit watermarking algorithm is used. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed technique on the ECG signal MSE is used.
