Embodiment Construction

[0027] The following describes an exemplary study on identifying and processing ECG features for the purpose of classifying / estimating the age of patients.

[0028] Demonstration research

[0029] Sometimes the patient’s age information is missing from the 12-lead ECG (or other ECG) records. Based on this missing information, the present invention recognizes that patient age information is important and often critical for correcting children's ECG interpretations, for example. The present invention also recognizes that automated child ECG analysis can benefit from estimated age instead of defaulting to adult ECG analysis when age is not provided. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the exemplary system and / or method can first determine whether the ECG is a child's ECG, and then estimate the child's age based on the ECG in a second step.

[0030] Demonstrative research population : The inventor of this paper conducted an exemplary study, where the collec...

Abstract

An automated age detection system employing a patient monitoring lead assembly and a patent monitoring device. In operation, the patient monitoring lead assembly conducts electrical activity of a heart of a patient to the patient monitoring device. In response thereto, the patient monitoring device classifying the patient as an adult patient or a pediatric patient as a function of electrocardiogram feature(s) derived from electrocardiogram measurement(s) of the electrical heart activity. The patient monitoring device may further estimate the age as a function of electrocardiogram feature(s). The classification facilitates an appropriate application of an adult analysis or a pediatric analysis of the electrical heart activity.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to, for example, medical instruments, and more specifically to electrocardiogram ("ECG") equipment and the display / interpretation of ECG signals. Background technique [0002] The electrocardiogram equipment (e.g., 12-lead diagnostic device) generates reports called electrocardiograms. For example, an electrocardiogram ("ECG") signal is a 10-second snapshot of the electrical activity of the heart. The electrocardiogram or ECG report generally includes patient demographics and ECG interpretation among other information. [0003] Automatic ECG analysis is generally divided into separate adult analysis and child analysis. The age of the patient (or an estimate of the age of the patient) is usually required to decide whether to apply an adult analysis or a child analysis. Doctors or other medical practitioners may not enter age into the analysis ECG device, especially in emergency situations such as when they are in a hurry. In ...
