Specialists of Tyumen Cardiology Research Center work on a new generation ECG device

Igor Kurlykov, a second-year student of Tyumen State University Institute of Mathematics and Computer Sciences, is working out an analogue of innovative ECG long-term monitoring device. His scientific advisors – Sergey Diachkov, junior scientific researcher of Tyumen Cardiology Research Center; functional diagnostics specialists and Kirill Shabalin, Robotic Center and automatized managing systems leading specialist – help him with this project.
“Tyumen Cardiology Research Center has already used similar devices made by foreign specialists, but with time they got out of order,” says Sergey Diachkov. “We couldn’t repair them because the company stopped producing such devices. Our doctors offered to start working on a Russian analogue. We managed to find some students who got interested in it so now we are developing a similar devices, which even has more functions”.
The scientists marked that the device is going to be easy to use. The first prototype consists of a cardiochip, electrodes and a monitor. While reading ECG, it saves the information on a flash card and send the results to a computer via Bluetooth. We have already started working on a cloud platform to be able to send data via Internet and to let doctors in other clinics get them. An upgraded prototype is planning to be finished by September and presented during an annual information technologies exhibition “INFOTECH”.
“For now there is no exact analogue for this device,” explains Igor Kurlykov. “Tyumen Cardiology Research Center specialist are interested in putting the project into life. Foreign devices are quite expensive and have a less number of functions. We also plan to start a serial production of this equipment.”
