Atrial Fibrillation Detecting Software Gung Atrial Fibrillation Detecting Software

Chang Gung Atrial Fibrillation Detection Software is an artificial intelligence electrocardiogram signal analysis software that detects whether a patient has atrial fibrillation by static 12-lead ECG signals. This study is a non-inferiority test based on the control group. The main purpose is to verify whether Chang Gung atrial fibrillation detection software can correctly identify atrial fibrillation in patients with atrial fibrillation, and can be used to provide a reference for doctors to detect atrial fibrillation.

This study is a retrospective study, and the data is from the six hospitals of Chang Gung Medical Research Database (CGRD). We collected de-identified static 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) data from the database during the period of January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2019. We created a training set and a testing set of ECG data from the CGRD. Then, we stratified and sampled ECG signals from the testing set according to the actual proportion to obtain the experimental sample. The computer first preliminarily screened and selected ECG data that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and then numbered them sequentially. A cardiologist confirmed that the sampled ECG data did not include exclusion criteria. The ECG data were converted into images and interpreted for the presence or absence of atrial fibrillation by three cardiologists. Their results were used as the gold standard (reference) for this study. After determining the experimental standards, the ECG signals were inputted into the Chang Gung Atrial Fibrillation Detection software for analysis and interpretation of each ECG data. After the software interpretation was completed, the results were compared with the interpretations of the physicians, and the primary and secondary evaluation indicators were analyzed accordingly.

This software is expected to be used in clinical testing to interpret the static 12-lead ECG of adults who are over 20 years old and suspected of having atrial fibrillation, detect whether there is a signal of atrial fibrillation, and output the results for clinicians Near-instant auxiliary diagnostic use.
