Build 4.9.0.29 of xlsgen adds support for reading and displaying electrocardiograms.




Electrocardiograms (data)

 

Electrocardiograms (charts)


xlsgen can import electrocardiograms for data and visual analysis purposes. This is expected to streamline data transfer in health related corporations.

Electrocardiograms are the result of placing electrodes on someone's body (simple electrodes, holter, ...), measuring the tension in electrodes over a period of time, then analysing the peaks and lows to identify a potential pathology.

The standard electrode names (called leads) are imported as well : lead I, lead II, lead aVR, ...

The health practitioner saves electrocardiograms in binary files, whose file format are standardized (ISO). xlsgen can read SCP-ECG files, which are files with a .SCP suffix.

From a programming standpoint, importing an electrocardiogram in xlsgen is really simple :

C++ code

xlsgen::IXlsEnginePtr engine( __uuidof(xlsgen::CoXlsEngine) ); xlsgen::IXlsWorkbookPtr wbk = engine->New( L"electro_cardiogram.xlsx"); xlsgen::IXlsWorksheetPtr wksht = wbk->AddWorksheet(L"Data"); wksht->Import->ElectroCardiogram->ImportFile(L"sample.scp"); wbk->Close();

Doing so imports the table of electrode data over time in the current worksheet, and creates another worksheet for the associated charts.
