Towards assisted electrocardiogram interpretation using an AI-enabled Augmented Reality headset

The interpretation of electrocardiograms (ECGs) is key for the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiovascular health. Despite the progressive digital transformation in healthcare, it is still common for clinicians to analyse ECG printed on paper. Although some systems provide signal processing-based ECG...

Despite the progressive digital transformation in healthcare, it is still common for clinicians to analyse ECG printed on paper. Although some systems provide signal processing-based ECG classification, clinicians often find it unreliable. Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques are becoming state-of-the-art for ECG processing but the lack of digitised ECG has hampered the clinical translation of these techniques.

In this work, we present an automatic digitisation and assisted interpretation of ECG based on an AI-enabled Augmented Reality headset. The AR headset is used to acquire an image of the printed ECG, from which the digitised ECG signal is extracted. Afterwards, the digitised ECG is introduced into a Deep Learning (DL) algorithm pre-trained on a public database of 12-lead ECG recordings. The output of the DL algorithm classifies the ECG signal onto different cardiomyopathy categories, which is then visualized back in the AR headset.
