Poor-quality ECG recordings can sometimes prevent physicians from correctly evaluating the ECG and detecting abnormalities. With the PMcardio app, cardiologists and other healthcare professionals can simply take a photograph of a paper-based ECG, and PMcardio will digitize it and produce a clear, top-notch quality ECG tracing.
Using powerful artificial intelligence algorithms, image recognition (computer vision) and scale normalization techniques, PMcardio reads and reconstructs any 12-lead ECG into a digital waveform in a few seconds. And when we say ‘any’, we mean it.
Your ECG can be in any condition – old, worn out, damaged, deformed, crumpled, scribbled over, incomplete, etc. No matter the distortion, PMcardio will correct it and undistort it.
Just look at this example.
Even if your original ECG is barely legible, PMcardio’s artificial intelligence can digitize and interpret it.
Try it now and see for yourself! Get PMcardio right now and scan your first ECG.
This feature provides cardiologists with a reliable tool to interpret ECGs that were previously difficult or unusable. Doing so eliminates the risk of missing an acute diagnosis due to a low-quality ECG. This is a major breakthrough in ECG interpretation and ensures cardiologists have the best chance at accurately diagnosing patients.
As Ken Grauer, MD, Author, Educator of ECG Interpretation/ACLS, and owner of the ECG Interpretation blog noted:
“My perspective is that of an ECG expert interpreter who does extensive writing (and illustrating), often based on tracings sent to me via the internet. Such tracings are often photos taken from smartphones — therefore photographed in suboptimal lighting, with the ECG often angled and even folded (therefore distorted). What I love about PMcardio — is that within seconds, I’m able to obtain a vastly improved quality copy of the original tracing. I find it amazing how PMcardio “straightens” waveforms and eliminates artefact.”
Here are a couple of other examples of poor-quality ECGs digitized by PMcardio.
An old ECG with faded tracing
A crumpled ECG
An ECG with stains covering the tracing
An object covering an ECG
A scribbled-over ECG
An ECG taken from an angle
Over to you
PMcardio removes distortion and enhances the overall quality of any 12-lead ECG instantly – in just a few seconds. Every ECG diagnostic report you create with PMcardio includes the digitized 12-lead ECG. Learn more about PMcardio’s ECG diagnostic reports here.
