Point-of-care & screening
A snapshot, on demand
Answers: “Does something look off right now?”
·Single lead or few leads. Enough to see rate and rhythm, not enough to localise ischaemia across the heart.
·User-initiated. It records when someone decides to take a reading — which is rarely the moment the episode occurs.
·Indicative output. Designed to prompt a visit, not to close a question. Often cleared as a wellness or screening device.
·Fails silently. A normal snapshot between episodes looks identical to a healthy heart, and is easily read as an all-clear.
Diagnostic device
A record a clinician can act on
Answers: “What happened, when, how often, and for how long?”
✓Continuous or full-lead acquisition. The signal is captured whether or not anyone was watching.
✓Defined intended use. Developed against the recognised ambulatory ECG standards, with a documented performance envelope.
✓Evidence, with provenance. Timestamped strips, symptom markers and confidence scores, attached to every automated classification.
✓Interpretation stays clinical. The output is a study a cardiologist reads and signs, not a verdict handed to a patient.
