Care teams rely on real-time monitoring from electrocardiograms (ECGs), mechanical ventilators, electroencephalograms (EEGs) and other high frequency data streams to quickly detect changes in a patient’s health and guide decision making for safe and effective treatment plans.

Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Nashville Biosciences has electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms acquired throughout the VUMC health system on the Philips IntelliSpace ECG management system. Raw waveform data (XML files) are de-identified according to the HIPAA Safe Harbor method. ECG waveforms can be integrated with other discrete measurements to provide a deeper perspective of a patient’s health or used to develop algorithms for improved clinical decision support tools.
