Abstract: A method of obtaining and analyzing ECG data from a patient or group of patients is disclosed. The ECG data is obtained from the patient at an acquisition device. Once the ECG data is obtained, the ECG data is transmitted to an analysis server that is operated by an analysis provider and is located remote from the location of the acquisition device. Along with the ECG data, acquisition parameters are transmitted to the analysis server. At the analysis server, one of a plurality of algorithms is selected to analyze the ECG data. If an abnormality is detected, the patient information is directed to a healthcare provider who can then contact the patient to schedule an appointment. Based upon the referral, a referral fee can be transferred from the healthcare provider to the analysis provider. The patient can be prompted to provide additional information and selections that dictate the level of analysis generated.

Abstract: A method of processing ECG data includes generating a first feature set with a trained neural network using ECG data and processing a patient's ECG data using a criteria-based algorithm to generate a second feature set. The patient's ECG data is then clustered into a number of clusters based on the first feature set and the second feature set to generate clustered ECG data. The clustered ECG data is presented to a user via a user interface, and user input is received from the user via the user interface regarding the clustered ECG data. A feature vector is defined based on the user input and the feature vector is applied to at least a portion of the patient's ECG data to generate revised clustered ECG data. The revised clustered ECG data is then presented to the user via the user interface.

Abstract: A method of directing positioning of ECG electrodes on a patient includes receiving at a processor an image of a patient from a camera of an augmented reality device. The processor analyzes the image for anatomical landmarks on the patient and generates an overlay image. The overlay image is shown over the real time image of the patient on the augmented reality device. The overlay image includes visual indicators of the desired electrode placement. The method further includes determining whether the actual location of each of the electrodes is correct and provides information on the augmented reality device as to whether the electrodes and lead placement is correct. An image of the electrode placement is stored with the ECG measurements, which can be used to verify correct electrode placement and to confirm consistent electrode placement over serial measurements. The augmented reality device allows for gesture control by the clinician.

The principal components are isolated by selecting a portion of the first representative ECG relating to depolarization, calculating a covariance matrix based on the portion of the first representative ECG, conducting a principal component analysis of the covariance matrix, and selecting a first component of the principal component analysis as the first principal component, the second component of the principal component analysis as the second principal component, and the third component of the principal component analysis as the third principal component. A depolarization subspace is then formed based on the first principal component, second principal component, and the third principal component of the first representative ECG.

Abstract: The system of the present application includes computerized diagnostic ECG that is tailored for the EMR. The system and method of the present application provides several new approaches to the computerized ECG based on information available from the EMR through an EMR portal. Some of these information items include: Test indication and reason for performing the ECG, previous ECGs as a measure of the patient's “normal” baseline; electrolytes, and drugs known to cause cardiac toxicity/prolonged QT. Based on these inputs, the computerized ECG analysis will behave differently, including the formation of reports, the ancillary information supplied with the ECG and the interpretation itself.
