An integrated software environment for ambulatory ECG mapping
Xin Huang, M.J. English, R. Vincent, Jonathon Lewis · 2002
In order to enhance early diagnosis especially of ischemic disease, a new ambulatory ECG mapping system has been developed. We present the design and development of the integrated software environment for ambulatory ECG mapping. The considerations involved in the software design are discussed and a menu-driven, multi-window integrated software structure with on-line help has been produced. By means of function decomposition, the system software is divided into three independent modules which afford various facilities for the initialization of the ambulatory recorder before monitoring, replaying and analysis of the acquired long-term ECG data, and report generation. By adopting various software design techniques, high performance is achieved in terms of adaptability, clarity, interaction, efficiency and reliability.>
