EP Calipers vs DeviceAID

EP Calipers provides electronic calipers to measure intervals on images of electrocardiograms (ECGs) or electrophysiologic recordings. Doctors, nurses and medical technicians photograph and send ECGs to each other via email and messaging using smart phones and tablets. It is difficult and inaccurate to make measurements on these images with mechanical calipers. EP Calipers can be used to make accurate ECG measurements and do calculations such as determining mean heart rate and corrected QT interval. Angles such as the beta angle in Brugada syndrome can be measured as well. Analyze ECG images you photograph or store on your device, as well as PDF files, such as ECGs generated by the AliveCor Kardia™ device.

DeviceAID is an educational application with many categories of devices used in both diagnostic Cath as well as interventional cardiology. With hundreds of devices to keep in your head, having a tool to get to the key few numbers can be invaluable. A basics section introduces devices, and the library section allows for the searching and filtering of devices based on some key characteristics. Current sections include Catheters, stents, balloons, atherectomy devices, access, closure, and more. Devices can be added to your personal favorites list for easy access later. For those who want to refine their knowledge of devices, quizzes with correct answer explanations are available.
