1. Introduction

PMcardio is an AI-powered clinical assistant in the form of a mobile application empowering non-cardiologist healthcare professionals with advanced cardiovascular diagnostic capabilities and ensuring optimal patient management in medical practice or clinic, hospital, or EMS environment. We lay an emphasis on great user experience, data security, and proven clinical value, to doctors and patients alike.

Although primary care physicians and other healthcare professionals are often the first point of contact for patients, they are usually not trained to precisely diagnose cardiovascular diseases from ECG recordings and treat them accordingly. Even in simple cases, patients often have to be referred to cardiologists, lengthening the time to diagnosis and optimal management and burdening the healthcare system.

PMcardio allows physicians and other healthcare workers to scan paper-based ECG recordings. The scans are then digitized and waveform signals are extracted from the photo. PMcardio automatically evaluates the digitized signals and provides a diagnosis and in-depth interpretation of the ECG within seconds. In the last step, the user fills out further symptom-based questions and the clinical assistant generates personalized, disease-specific management recommendations and indicates further diagnostic or treatment procedures.

Additionally, PMcardio streamlines the patient journey and seamlessly bridges non-cardiologists and other healthcare workers to cardiologists, allowing them to securely exchange and interact with the AI-powered ECG reports and patient parameters to establish an immediate and adequate diagnosis and treatment plan, saving valuable time and providing a superior patient treatment flow.

PMcardio offers maximum compatibility and aids users with digitizing and analyzing standard 12-lead electrocardiograms (including 12 lead resting ECG devices, or ECG devices in ambulances) either printed on paper or captured from a monitor.
