  INTRODUCING A NEW TECHNOLOGY TO INCREASE THE DIAGNOSTIC AND PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF THE ELECTROCARDIOGRAM

LATEST NEWS: ECG-Exellence is selected as finalist for BEAT 2019. Delivering new cardiovascular solutions to prevent cardiac diseases. The final will be held during ZORG&ICT on March 12, 2019 in Utrecht (Jaarbeurs), The Netherlands

Heart related diseases are one of the most frequent causes of unexpected health problems. The electrocardiogram (ECG), invented 100 years ago by Dutchman Willem Einthoven, helps to find causes for cardiac symptoms. ECG-Excellence, following the Dutch scientist, now introduces ECG 2.0, a new technology enabling  ECG wave patterns analysis for early detection of life threatening diseases. ECG-Excellence converts the standard 12 lead ECG recording devices to instruments  for next level ECG diagnostics, preventive screening and disease progression monitoring. ECG-Excellence triples the clinical value of the ECG!

Background information: Today ECG diagnostics is most and for all heart rhythm analysis. This type of analysis only looks at the intervals between peaks in the heart rhythm. Additional clinical insights can be found in analysis of the wave patterns in depth. The wave pattern details indicate the level of polarization and depolarization of the 2 billion heart cells, indicate how  the electric currents distribute across the heart tissue and provides inside in the level of synchronisation of chambers and valves.  However, getting clinical value from  analysing the wave patterns requires skills, experience and accuracy. And the latter is the weakest link in the measurement system. The key to the improvement of wave pattern analysis is reducing the impact of  variability in electrode placement. A small difference in an electrode location on the human torso  results in a significant change in recorded wave patterns. And this happens too often: in 50% (male) or 80% (female) ECG recordings one or more electrodes are not placed on the required locations. Cardiologists, lacking data on the electrode position, alas cannot evaluate the subtle pattern abnormalities in the ECG morphology. Result: Late diagnosis and/or late detection of disease only after symptoms are felt by the patient. And, given the variability no ECG comparision on a personal level is possible, hindering the option for tracking changes through time.       
                 
ECG-Excellence corrects the data for the electrode locations. ECG-Excellence combines standard ECG data with 3D imaging and novel ECG-Excellence algorithms. First pilot tests have been executed by the ECG-Excellence team and show early identification of cardiac problems is possible and delivers yet unlocked clinical value.  Achieved accuracy and consistency of the ECG-Excellence hard- and software enables the medical professional to compare a person’s ECG through time.  And detect subtle changes between the recordings. Peter van Dam, co-founder of ECG-Excellence: “it’s our ambition and passion to save lives through enhanced ECG technology!”.

In November 2018 we had the privilege to present our technology during the Web Summit conference in Lisbon. Participating in the machine demo competion brought us to the final which we are proud to have won. In the video you can see our presentation in the final.
ECG-Excellence can support:

• The early detection of diseases such as Brugada, Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy, Heart Failure , atherosclerosis (especially in female hearts) or cardiac diseases within the population of diabetes patients. Early detection often saves lives and reduces health care costs;
• The monitoring of the impact of cardiac surgery, the impact of taking medication/drugs/foods supplements and the impact of intense sports activities. And thus avoids unexpected strokes or death.

See our graphic video  to learn more on our company and our innovative approach towards the electrocardiogram recording. 

ECG-Excellence is not available in the market. Our company is continuing the development and test process. We are happy to collaborate with leading Universities in delivering the academic validation. We are also open to discuss partnerships with organisations which care about the health of their staff and are open to collaborate in the role of launching customer. Please contact us to discuss the options.

ECG-Excellence, founded by Hans Slijp, Peter van Dam and Eelco van Dam is a company building on the results of PEACS, a Dutch based medical technology company with a passion to save lives through enhanced ECG technology. The founders have their roots in medical science, medical technology, cardiac modelling and simulation. Click here to reach the Peacs website.
