Although different systems are available on the market to record ECG and to send it to an analisys station, there is still demand for a more vesatile, easy to use device that shorten the time the diagnosis is available, avoiding the patient to move to a healthcare center: the purpose of our work was to validate a solution that fullfil this requirement. Twenty family doctors and two cardiologists were involved in the evaluation of the whole solution and 400 exams were performed. The results showed that the device is well tolerated by patients and the workflow allures the practitioners for the combination of its semplicity and effectiveness in reducing the time to reach the diagnosis, although a remarkable number of cardiac traces were not good enough to formulate a diagnosis, mainly due to contact loss in the patient’s electrical circuit. An investigation was carried on to identify the causes of bad electrical connections and corrective measures were taken to improve the number of good quality signals.

Abstract

Although different systems are available on the market to record ECG and to send it to an analisys station, there is still demand for a more vesatile, easy to use device that shorten the time the diagnosis is available, avoiding the patient to move to a healthcare center: the purpose of our work was to validate a solution that fullfil this requirement. Twenty family doctors and two cardiologists were involved in the evaluation of the whole solution and 400 exams were performed. The results showed that the device is well tolerated by patients and the workflow allures the practitioners for the combination of its semplicity and effectiveness in reducing the time to reach the diagnosis, although a remarkable number of cardiac traces were not good enough to formulate a diagnosis, mainly due to contact loss in the patient’s electrical circuit. An investigation was carried on to identify the causes of bad electrical connections and corrective measures were taken to improve the number of good quality signals.
