ECG-X
Making ECGs easier to interpret
The ECG-X research programme is developing a suite of visualisation techniques for interrogating ECG data, combining principles of visual perception with clinical knowledge to create decision support tools where humans and machines share the same representation of the data.
We are developing intuitively explainable algorithms that can provide early warning of sudden cardiac death.
ECG-X and long QT syndrome
Our ground-breaking approach to long QT syndrome (LQTS) means it can be detected quickly and reliably regardless of heart rate and T-wave morphology.
This image shows a 10 second ECG presented on polar coordinates, suitable for display on a mobile phone. The area under the curve contains warm colours (yellow and red), indicating a prolonged QT-interval.

We are currently funded by the EPSRC to extend our approach to other conditions, including ischaemic heart disease and channelopathies associated with sudden cardiac death.
