WebCardio – Multiday,
Disposable, Wireless Holter
Monitoring Solution for ECG
THE NEXT GENERATION OF AMBULATORY ECG MONITORING
WebCardio is a Wireless, Disposable,
Multiday Holter monitor that can
continuously record ECG up to three
days. It can be used for detection and
quantification of Cardiac Arrhythmias
including Tachycardia, Bradycardia,
Pauses, Conduction delays and blocks,
Ventricular and Supraventricular beats
and runs, and Atrial fibrillation.
The WebCardio solution developed
by GadgEon using LifeSignals’ USFDA
cleared Biosensor Platform, has gone
through clinical validation and
commercially launched in selected cities.
The WebCardio solution consists of
a body worn disposable ECG patch,
a companion mobile App and cloud
based Rhythm interpretation and
report generation service. The nurse or
technician can view the ECG waveform
after affixing the ECG patch on the
patient, by wirelessly pairing it with
a companion mobile App. This helps
technician to ascertain the quality of
ECG before starting the Holter recording
process. Once recording is initiated, the
patient can go home and continue with
their normal activities. The ECG Patch
shall continuously acquire and store the
data in its memory. The stored ECG data
is automatically transferred wirelessly
to the already paired mobile app at a
periodic interval. This data is then pushed
to the cloud server from the Mobile
App, when cellular network is available.
The patch can be worn by the patient
up to 72 hours as prescribed by the
doctor.
Once the complete ECG data is
available in the server, a team of qualified
cardiac technicians analyzes the ECG
and creates the report using USFDA
approved Holter analysis software.
Reports and the full disclosure ECG
are then made available online to the
doctor. The report shall optionally be
emailed to the clinical personnel.
The WebCardio “Pay per Use model”
allows smaller clinics and individual
doctors to add Holter monitoring to their
practice without any capital investment.
For the hospitals, that already has
Holter recorder, WebCardio solution
would help to augment the capacity
without any additional capital
investment and also helps to provide
extended Holter monitoring service of up
to 72 hours.
WebCardio solution improves the
productivity and reduces the workload of
hospital personnel (nurse, technician) as
ECG patch can be easily administered on a
patient compared to a traditional multiple
lead Holter recorders. Further, the analysis
and report generation is available as
service from WebCardio. The small size
and compact design of ECG patch helps
the patient to continue with normal
daily activity, resulting in improving the
diagnostic yield with better compliance
and long-term monitoring. The cloud
based wireless solution of WebCardio also
helps the patient by reducing the
hassles and costs related to multiple visits
to hospital.
WebCardio will soon add more features
to evolve into a comprehensive Remote
patient monitoring solution including near
real time monitoring services and support
for multiple vital parameters. It will
also have variants to support various
inhospital use cases. With Machine
learning and AI capabilities integrated,
WebCardio will deliver advanced
diagnostic decision support system,
which enables predictive and proactive
healthcare services. Riding on the
current mobile revolution, WebCardio
also helps to meet telemedicine needs to
rural segment.
