  • Publication number: 20210353202
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored a computer program causes a computer to realize the functions of: receiving electrocardiogram waveform data from first electrodes attached to a subject, the data indicating a plurality of electrocardiogram waveforms that are continuously generated on a time axis; storing the electrocardiogram waveform data in a storage section; calculating coefficients for deriving estimated electrocardiogram waveform data of the subject, from first electrocardiogram waveform data that are stored in the storage section; and deriving the estimated electrocardiogram waveform data of the subject, based on second electrocardiogram waveform data that are acquired after the first electrocardiogram waveform data are stored and the coefficients.
