Abstract

The present invention provides a mobile and web-based 12-lead ECG management information system for processing clinical 12-lead ECG, comprising: (a) a clinical device for automatically extracting a SCP-ECG or XML-ECG file and processing signals; (b) an ECG database for saving data exported from the clinical device with web-based user interface, and a mobile database which is synchronized with the ECG database; and (c) an interactive electric document for annotating 12-lead ECG with clinical diagnosis codes.

Claims

1. A mobile and web-based management information system for processing clinical 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), comprising:

(a) a clinical device for automatically extracting an XML-ECG file and processing signals;

(b) an ECG database for saving web-based data exported from the clinical device, and a mobile device client database which is synchronized with the ECG database; and

(c) an interactive electric document for annotating 12-lead ECG with clinical diagnosis codes,

wherein the device for automatically extracting the XML-ECG file and processing signals comprises;

(a1) a device for reading and decoding content of report information (reportinfo tag), data acquisition information (measurements tag), patients'"'"' information (patient tag), interpretation information (interpretations tag) and waveforms information (waveforms tag); and

(b1) a means for processing noise,

wherein the means for processing noise filters out interference due to baseline drift or high frequency noise via stationary wavelet transform comprising a formula;

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the signals are processed as decoded raw waveforms.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the decomposition order ranges from 1 to 10.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the decomposition order is 8.
