The Multifunction Cardiogram has been developed as the result of decades of engineering and research, with significant milestones noted below:
Theoretical model research/earliest experiments
Data Collection and Analysis by a TEAC® tape recorder to measure the effects of environmental noises on human’s transformed ECG and EEG Waveforms on Tsinghua University’s 7T08 IBM mainframe computers
First PC-based (DOS) analytical stand-alone system was created for large scale data collection and clinical trials for potential differential diagnosis
Started limited clinical testing in the U.S.; data collection continued
Premier Heart was founded.
Developing new generations of software for a web based system using open source software. Obtained FDA 510K clearance.
First differential diagnosis for local or global ischemia and disease severity scores were developed and validated clinically.
First modern web based system communicating with a centralized relational database was designed and tested in clinical trials in eight countries/three continents on ~1,200 patients.
Additional applications produced and clinical trials performed.
