“This is because cardiovascular diseases in children are much less common than in adults, and from a business point of view, implementing new technologies into this field of medicine is not very profitable. Consequently, the search for solutions using the latest technology in collaboration with business requires a significant involvement of pediatric cardiologists. We believe that our initiative will be a breakthrough in activating the cardiological community for business-related activities and, through the implementation of AI systems for ECG analysis, will not only demonstrate their merit but also prove that pediatric cardiology can be attractive for the broader medical-related industry.”- explains Radosław Pietrzak, MD, PhD, from the Department of Pediatric Cardiology and General Pediatrics at the Medical University of Warsaw.

Due to the lack of studies on ECG signal analysis with the use of artificial intelligence algorithms in children, the team from the Department of Pediatric Cardiology and General Pediatrics CCH UCC MUW, headed by Prof. Bozena Werner, MD, PhD, developed a research and implementation project with the Cardiomatics company entitled "Conducting ECG tests and analysis of their results for the purpose of developing a method for automatic assessment of heart rhythm and conduction disturbances in children after surgery for congenital heart disease,” which will enable the development of a method for the automatic assessment of heart rhythm and conduction disturbances in children after surgery for congenital heart disease and more.
The project received a grant from the National Centre for Research and Development
