Read full descriptionHide full description
Paediatric ECG is an educational reference tool designed to help medical students, junior doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals build real confidence in interpreting paediatric electrocardiograms. The app does not automatically interpret ECGs for you. Instead, it teaches you how to do it yourself through a structured, systematic approach grounded in evidence-based clinical guidelines. Each step explains what to measure, how to measure it, and what it means clinically. LEARN STEP BY STEP Work through a 12-step interpretation framework covering heart rate, rhythm, QRS axis, P waves, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, T waves, QTc interval, voltage analysis, and U waves. At every step, you enter your own measurements and receive immediate feedback based on age-specific normal ranges. KEY FEATURES ⢠Age-Specific Normal Values: All reference ranges automatically adjust based on the patient's age in years or months ⢠Guided Interpretation: Each step includes measurement instructions, clinical context, and differential diagnoses to build your understanding ⢠Findings Summary: Generates a comprehensive summary with normal, warning, and critical indicators based on your entries ⢠Pattern Recognition: Helps you identify possible diagnoses including RVH, LVH, RBBB, LBBB, Long QT syndrome, WPW, ASD, pericarditis, electrolyte disturbances, and more ⢠Quick Reference Guide: Built-in reference covering common ECG parameters, hypertrophy criteria, bundle branch blocks, arrhythmias, and critical red flags ⢠Fully Offline: All content and calculations work without an internet connection ⢠No Account Required: Open the app and start immediately ⢠Privacy Focused: No patient data is collected, stored, or transmitted IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER This app is intended for educational purposes only.

The clearest difference is price: miniMAGIC at Free against Paediatric ECG's $0.99. miniMAGIC also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 26.2). Paediatric ECG's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 48 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
