Greetings All, Thank you for all the interesting replies on the request on ECG-archetypes.
To clarify what our efforts in making an ECG-archetype are; We have, as part of our thesis, examined the standards; SCP-ECG, aECG (FDA-XML) and DICOM for storing and exchanging raw ECG and metadata. In the thesis the main focus is designing an ECG archetype based on the openEHR framework (CEN EN13606), more specifically we are handling ECG-samples from heart patients monitored in their own homes (tele-homecare patients). The ECG- samples consist of ECG-signals from an electronic patch containing two leads and a reference lead, furthermore we are receiving blood pressure, weight and pulse from the patient. Dealing with blood pressure, weight and pulse should be straight forward due to the archetypes already specified in openEHR-context. Therefore we are examining the ECG-metadata (i.e. this could be some of the header information in the SCP- ECG standard) appropriate for storage in the EHR versus for example at a service provider. Together with the ECG-metadata we are also interested in storage and presentation of the state of the patient, location of the patient and activity-level of the patient at the time of the ECG-recording. We have been in close contact with various clinicians to hear their statements on what they need of information from the ECG-data. However due to the fact that we are students and among other things lack experience in designing and developing archetypes and complex data we turn to you for insight on how to address the problem of how the segmentation of ECG-metadata should (or could) be solved and furthermore where to store it.
