The best EKG app out there! PediECG is an educational tool intended to assist medical practicioners improve their ability to correctly diagnose pediatric electrophysiology tracings through repeated exposure to common and uncommon real-world electrocardiogram tracings. To ensure that real world scenarios are presented, a wide variety of electrocardiograms are presented, even ones that are not archetype examples of each rhythm, as these are rarely encountered in the real world. Users are meant to assess the most likely diagnosis and select the appropriate diagnosis codes as they would in a real world scenario. Some electrocardiograms may have multiple correct answers. Users will then be able to review the correct answers and an explanation discussing the key features of the electrocardiogram.
PediECG was made possible through a Texas Children’s Hospital Educational Scholarship Grant.
