In the future, patients will be able to independently record medically validated ECGs from home or on the go. This is made possible by integrating a cardiology information system into a mobile ECG device. This also enables the inclusion of clinical routine processes.

The Hannover Medical School (MHH) is the first institution worldwide to integrate GE HealthCare's MUSE cardiology information system with the mobile ECG device KardiaMobile 6L from AliveCor. This represents a significant advancement in connected heart care.

The KardiaMobile 6L device records 6-lead medical-grade ECGs and identifies heart rhythm disturbances such as atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, and tachycardia. The recorded ECG data is transmitted via Bluetooth to a smartphone or tablet, from which it can be sent directly to the MUSE system by GE HealthCare. This connection enables seamless integration of ECG data into clinical workflows and supports fast and accurate clinical decision-making.

Above all, patients benefit from this. They can independently record medically validated ECGs from home or on the go. The ECG data is immediately, automatically, and securely integrated into the electronic patient record and the clinical workflow. Doctors can access current ECG findings outside the hospital without delay, evaluate them, and directly incorporate them into patient care.

Faster Access to Current And Historical ECG Data

MUSE NX provides secure, role-based integration into electronic medical records and ensures physicians have quick access to current and historical ECG data. This not only enhances cardiac care but also highlights opportunities to improve data security, interoperability, and clinical validation.

Prof. Dr. David Duncker, head of the Hannover Heart Rhythm Center at MHH (Germany), emphasizes that the integration of this mobile ECG data fundamentally transforms heart rhythm care and accelerates diagnostic processes. Atrial fibrillation, which affects over eleven million people across Europe, can be efficiently monitored in this way, reducing the number of hospitalizations and improving continuity of care.

Improve Data-Driven Medical Care

The partnership between GE HealthCare, AliveCor, and MHH goes beyond mere technical developments and represents an integrative approach that further optimizes data-driven medical care.

"We at GE HealthCare are proud of our collaboration with AliveCor and the Hannover Medical School, Germany. It demonstrates how modern technology and visionary clinical leadership can come together. Together, we are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in healthcare—by combining GE HealthCare and AliveCor technologies with MHH's research strength and clinical excellence. This partnership represents our shared goal: boundless innovation with real value for patients, professionals, and the future of care," says Balázs Pozsony, Cardiology General Manager International, GE HealthCare.
