ECG Sensium™

Toumaz was awarded the prestigious First Prize for its ECG Sensium ™ solution. ECG Sensium provides connectivity for the last meter in an end-to-end system allowing health status data such as ECG, temperature and other vital signs, collected by remote monitoring systems to be seamlessly integrated with the Oracle professional health database.

A sophisticated arrhythmia detection algorithm transforms the data into value added information which is then passed to an Oracle Database Lite 10 g server for further processing and filtering based on a set of rules. The information is then synchronized with the central database, allowing the health status information to be automatically integrated with electronic patient records.
