Introducing PMcardio for Individuals 3.0: A New Era in AI-Powered Second Opinions for ECG Interpretation

Introducing PMcardio for Individuals 3.0: A New Era in AI-Powered Second Opinions for ECG Interpretation

PMcardio has long been a trusted diagnostic companion to over 100,000 providers—from emergency departments and clinics to rural ambulances and primary care offices. With the launch of PMcardio for Individuals 3.0, we’re raising the bar once again—delivering instant, explainable AI support for ECG interpretation, empowering faster, more confident decisions in acute cardiovascular care settings.

A Second Opinion—Now in Seconds

PMcardio for Individuals 3.0 offers immediate diagnostic clarity when it’s needed most—at the frontline of patient care. Whether you’re working in a hub hospital, a spoke clinic, or a remote medical center, 3.0 provides rapid, AI-driven ECG insights, supporting earlier recognition of STEMI and STEMI-equivalents (OMIs), and facilitating timely triage and referral for life-saving interventions.

Key New Features in PMcardio for Individuals 3.0

The Queen of Hearts™ AI ECG Model

At the heart of PMcardio 3.0 is Queen of Hearts™, our most advanced STEMI detection model yet.

Specially trained to recognize both classic and subtle occlusive myocardial infarctions, Queen of Hearts™ goes far beyond traditional ECG algorithms. While conventional systems often miss atypical ischemic presentations, this new model leverages a global, diverse dataset of millions of patient cases to detect the earliest signs of cardiac emergency.

“PMcardio for Individuals 3.0 was developed from the ground up to deliver instant clarity in critical moments. With Queen of Hearts™, we help clinicians act decisively—because when it comes to the heart, minutes matter.”
Viktor Jurasek, Chief Product Officer, Powerful Medical

AI Explainability with ECGxplain™

Transparency is essential in critical care. With ECGxplain™, PMcardio now provides lead-by-lead diagnostic heatmaps, clearly visualizing the rationale behind each interpretation.

This unique feature:

  • Identifies specific waveforms or leads that contributed to the AI’s STEMI or arrhythmia diagnosis
  • Supports faster confirmation or challenge of AI findings during emergency assessments
  • Enhances ECG education by offering clinicians a visual breakdown of complex patterns in real time

Automated ECG Format Recognition

Time is of the essence in acute care. PMcardio now features automated ECG digitization and format detection, streamlining workflows by instantly recognizing and adapting to various ECG sources—whether it’s a smartphone photo of a paper printout or a screenshot from a hospital monitor.

No manual adjustments. No delays. Just plug-and-play diagnostics, anywhere you work.

Built on Rigorous Clinical Validation

PMcardio’s AI technology has been independently validated in 19 international clinical studies, consistently demonstrating:

  • 2x the diagnostic accuracy of traditional ECG interpretation tools
  • Significant improvement in OMI detection and high-risk arrhythmias
  • Reliable performance across device types, healthcare settings, and clinical experience levels

Trusted Features, Now Even Better

3.0 builds on a strong foundation of features that have made PMcardio a trusted tool for thousands:

  • 36 core ECG diagnoses, including arrhythmias, blocks, conduction delays, and hypertrophy patterns
  • 12 key ECG measurements, such as heart rate, PR/QRS/QT/QTc intervals, and axis deviations
  • AI confidence indicators to flag complex or uncertain cases for deeper review
  • Mobile ECG digitization – Instantly captures and processes ECGs from paper printouts or digital formats
  • Secure sharing and report access – Enables efficient team collaboration and streamlined record-keeping

Built for Frontline Decision-Makers

From emergency physicians and cardiologists to nurses and paramedics, PMcardio 3.0 is built for those who make life-saving decisions under pressure. It delivers the speed, accuracy, and transparency clinicians need in acute care—seamlessly integrating into fast-paced clinical routines and supporting confident, consistent interpretation when every second counts.

Available Now

PMcardio for Individuals 3.0 is now available on all supported devices.
Start trying it out with free access, including 5 ECG analyses per month—perfect for exploring how fast and accurate AI-powered interpretation can enhance your clinical decision-making.

When you’re ready for full functionality, upgrade to the Pro Plan to unlock:

  • Unlimited ECG analyses — no limits on usage, ideal for daily clinical practice
  • AI explainability with ECGxplain™ — see lead-specific heatmaps that show how the AI reached its diagnosis

  • Advanced diagnostic support — access to full diagnostic insights, ECG measurements, and interpretation confidence indicators

PMcardio for Organizations: System-Wide Cardiovascular Intelligence

For hospitals, clinics, and national health systems, Powerful Medical also offers PMcardio for Organizations—an AI-powered care coordination platform that integrates directly into healthcare infrastructure.

This enterprise solution standardizes diagnostic accuracy across entire health systems, ensuring consistent, high-quality ECG interpretation while streamlining triage and care coordination for cardiovascular patients.

By connecting all clinical stakeholders—from emergency department teams and nursing staff to cardiologists—and integrating with hospital IT systems, PMcardio for Organizations enables faster, more informed decision-making. The result:

  • Reduced misdiagnosis: AI-powered standardization minimizes variability in ECG interpretation, significantly lowering diagnostic errors.
  • Faster, smarter resource activation: Critical cases are prioritized in real time, helping hospitals deploy cath labs, transport, and specialists exactly when and where they’re needed.
  • Improved patient outcomes: Earlier detection and intervention in acute cardiac events directly translate to better recovery and survival rates.
  • Enhanced operational efficiency: By eliminating unnecessary delays and misallocated resources, hospitals gain speed, cost savings, and workflow optimization across departments.
