standardEKG

standardEKG is a format for representing electrocardiogram (ECG) data. It is a line-oriented text file format that allows for the easy storage, transmission, and analysis of ECG signals.

The standardEKG format is based on the ISO 81060-1 standard for medical linear ECG. It describes the representation of ECG signals in a human-readable text format. The format uses a set of keywords and values to represent various aspects of the ECG signal, including lead, parameter, amplitude, and timing.

A standardEKG file typically consists of a header section that describes the characteristics of the ECG signal, such as the patient's name, date of birth, and the device used to record the signal. The header section is followed by a series of ecg-segment lines that describe the ECG signal in terms of its amplitude, time-stamps, and other relevant parameters.

standardEKG format uses a flat text format, with each keyword followed by a colon and a value. The use of standardEKG simplifies the task of exchanging and comparing ECG data between different devices, software, and healthcare organizations. This format also provides a convenient way to read and analyze ECG data using scripting languages and programming tools.

standardEKG has been widely adopted in various medical and research applications due to its simplicity, flexibility, and ease of handling. This format is used by various ECG device manufacturers, software developers, and researchers, allowing for the standardization of data and enabling more effective comparison and analysis of ECG data.
