eLab: A web-based platform to perform HRV and HRT analysis and store cardiac signals

This study aimed to develop a user-friendly, modular and scalable web-based system, that would allow researchers and physicians to upload and save cardiac signals into a custom database, and would perform a complete heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate turbulence (HRT) analysis of each anonymous RR-interval time series from holter records. The built system, called eLab, complies with the previous requirements. The HRV and HRT analysis results are stored and can be presented to users using plots and tabular information or downloaded. Users only need a web-browser to use this tool.
