Our Solution
We build a dynamic application that runs effortlessly on both Android and iOS platforms for HD Steth captures and plots ECG, PCG, and MUR waveforms in real-time. The data is transferred using Bluetooth technology to connect with the BLE device.
With multiple profile creation capabilities, the app can record EKG readings for different patients and hold them separately. These reports could be exported as PDFs and mailed to the user.
In addition to producing instantaneous and accurate charts, these graphs can also be customized to include changing colors of waveform, zoom factor, etc.
Another fascinating feature is that the app can capture the heart sound and render it as a WAV file for listening later, which also facilitates dynamic multi-point analysis (MPA) of data - a key element to help in prompt and precise diagnosis.
