How is Tele-ECG done for remote and long term physiological monitoring through a cloud based software platform like The Telerad Suite?

Tele-ECG remotely monitors a person's heart activity using electronic devices and a cloud-based software platform. The process typically involves the following steps:

1. The patient is fitted with a wearable device, such as a chest strap or wristband, that is equipped with sensors to measure their heart activity.
2. The device transmits the heart data wirelessly to the cloud-based software platform e.g Softmedtech’s Telerad Suite’s Tele-ECG component using a cellular or internet connection.
3. The software platform processes the heart data and displays it in a user-friendly interface, through a dashboard or app.
4. A healthcare provider can access the data remotely through the software platform and use it to monitor the patient's heart activity.
5. If necessary, the healthcare provider can use the platform to communicate with the patient and provide recommendations or interventions to address any issues that may be detected through the tele-ECG monitoring.

Tele-ECG can be useful for remote and long-term physiological monitoring because it allows healthcare providers to continuously track a patient's heart activity and intervene if necessary, without the need for the patient to physically visit a healthcare facility.

An accurate and timely ECG (electrocardiogram) diagnosis tool should have the following features:

1. Technology: The tool should use advanced technology such as machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze the ECG data and provide a diagnosis. Softmedtech has already applied for patent pending Al algorithm with higher accuracy than standard FDA approved ECG diagnosis algorithm.
2. Proven Medical Expertise: The tool should be developed and validated by medical experts to ensure that it is based on best practices and current medical knowledge. Softmedtech’s tool, with backend data management bridge with IIT Kharagpur, is already validated by a number of our 200+ customers.

3. Accuracy: The tool should be able to accurately interpret the ECG data and provide a reliable diagnosis.
4. Timeliness: The tool should be able to provide a diagnosis in a timely manner, so that treatment can be initiated as soon as possible.
5. User-Friendliness: The tool should be easy to use and understand, with clear instructions and explanations for the user.
6. Security: The tool should have appropriate security measures in place to protect the privacy of the patient's medical data.
7. Integration with Electronic Health Records: The tool should be able to integrate with electronic health records systems, allowing for easy access to the patient's medical history and other relevant information.

Our Telerad software ECG-component helps with the reading and reporting of ECG data from a 12-channel tele-ecg machine in several ways. First, it can facilitate the transfer of the ECG data from the telemetry machine to a computer, where it can be more easily analyzed and reviewed. This can be done remotely, allowing healthcare providers to access the data from different locations.

Once the ECG data is on a computer, the Telerad software can provide tools to help with the interpretation of the data. This includes features such as automatic measurement of heart rate and waveform analysis, as well as the ability to compare the current ECG trace with previous ones.

Our software also creates reports based on the ECG data, including the ability to generate a written report summarizing the findings and any relevant clinical information, as well as the ability to generate a visual representation of the ECG data for easy review and comparison.

Overall, our Telerad software can help to streamline the process of reading and reporting on ECG data from a 12-channel telemetry machine, making it more efficient and accurate for healthcare providers.

For ECG diagnoses and reporting,  here is a typical workflow of our Tele-ECG remote server component:

1. Receiving ECG data from remote devices: The Telerad remote server component receives ECG data from remote devices such as ECG monitors or smartwatches that have been programmed to transmit the data to the server.
2. Storing and organizing the ECG data: Our server stores and organizes (the received ECG data) in a database, typically using patient identification numbers to keep track of the data.
3. Analyzing the ECG data: The server then uses algorithms and machine learning models to analyze the ECG data and identify any abnormalities or issues that may require further attention.
4. Generating reports: Based on the results of the analysis, the server generates reports outlining the findings and any recommendations for further testing or treatment. These reports would typically be made available to our healthcare provider customers through the Telerad Web Portal - our secure online portal.
5. Providing support for remote consultations: Our Softmedtech server also supports remote consultations between healthcare providers and patients, allowing them to discuss the results of the ECG analysis and any necessary treatment plans.

Overall, the remote server component plays a central role in the online tele ECG diagnosis and reporting platform, enabling healthcare provider customers to remotely monitor and diagnose patients, and providing patients with access to timely and accurate diagnostic information.

In addition to Tele-ECG, our Tele-Health reporting services and software allows clinicians to view patient information from a variety of perspectives including:

• Patient health Hospital bed information Medical history Vital signs Physical exam results Laboratory results Scans and biopsies X-rays
