  • Patent number: 12186086
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatically diagnosing a patient based on a reduced lead electrocardiogram (ECG), using one or more deep neural networks. In one embodiment, a method for automatically diagnosing a patient using a reduced lead ECG comprises, acquiring reduced lead ECG data, wherein the reduced lead ECG data comprises less than twelve lead signals, determining a type of each of the less than twelve lead signals, selecting a deep neural network based on the type of each of the less than twelve lead signals, and mapping the less than twelve lead signals to a diagnosis using the deep neural network. In this way, reduced lead ECG data may be mapped to a diagnosis using an intelligently selected deep neural network, wherein the deep neural network was trained on reduced lead ECG data comprising a same set of ECG lead types as the acquired reduced lead ECG data.

  • Patent number: 11571161
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatically diagnosing an electrocardiogram (ECG) using a hybrid system comprising a rule-based system and one or more deep neural networks. In one embodiment, by mapping ECG data to a plurality of features using a convolutional neural network, mapping the plurality of features to a preliminary diagnosis using a decision network, and determining a diagnosis based on the ECG data and the preliminary diagnosis using the rule-based system, a more accurate diagnosis may be determined. In another example, by incorporating both a rule-based system and one or more deep neural networks into the hybrid system, the hybrid system may be more easily adapted for use in various contexts/communities, as the one or more deep learning networks may be trained using context/community specific ECG data.

  • Publication number: 20210298626
    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.

  • Patent number: 10517497
    Abstract: A system for processing ECG to detect atrial fibrillation includes three software modules. A beat module is executable on a processor to receive a time series of ECG data, identify heart beats, and determine a beat AFIB value based on a timing of each identified heart beat. The beat AFIB value represents a presence or absence of AFIB based on variability in the timing of each identified heart beat. A segment module is executable to receive the time series of ECG data, divide the time series of ECG data into two or more time segments, and determine a segment AFIB value for each time segment. The segment AFIB value indicates a presence or absence of AFIB in the time segment based on whether any of a set of rhythms are identified. The AFIB detection module is executable to determine an AFIB identification value for each time segment based on the beat AFIB value during that time segment and the segment AFIB value for that time segment.

  • Publication number: 20160188823
    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.
