Paediatric ECG

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 โข Age-Specific Normal Values: All reference ranges automatically adjust based on the patient's age in years or months โข Guided Interpretation: Each step includes measurement instructions, clinical context, and differential diagnoses to build your understanding โข Findings Summary: Generates a comprehensive summary with normal, warning, and critical indicators based on your entries โข Pattern Recognition: Helps you identify possible diagnoses including RVH, LVH, RBBB, LBBB, Long QT syndrome, WPW, ASD, pericarditis, electrolyte disturbances, and more โข Quick Reference Guide: Built-in reference covering common ECG parameters, hypertrophy criteria, bundle branch blocks, arrhythmias, and critical red flags โข Fully Offline: All content and calculations work without an internet connection โข No Account Required: Open the app and start immediately โข Privacy Focused: No patient data is collected, stored, or transmitted IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER This app is intended for educational purposes only. It is not a medical device, diagnostic tool, or clinical decision support system, and it has not been approved or cleared by any regulatory authority. It does not provide medical advice and must not be used as a substitute for professional clinical judgment, formal medical training, or specialist review. All ECG findings must be interpreted in the context of the patient's full clinical presentation by a qualified healthcare professional. The developers accept no liability for clinical decisions made based on the use of this app. If you are concerned about a patient, always seek senior or specialist review.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Sonic Edu at Free against Paediatric ECG's $0.99. Sonic Edu also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.2). Paediatric ECG's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 10 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
