HTML5 powered web application for telecardiology: A case study using ECGs

This paper proposes a HTML5 powered web ECG management system for telecardiology applications. A typical tele-ECG use case where General practitioner (GPs)/technicians wanting to consult their patient's ECG with a cardiologist, is realized using the proposed web application. It enables the GPs/technicians to share XML ECG of their patients with cardiologist in remote location and obtain his/her interpretations - all through a HTML5 enabled web browser without any additional plugins/dependencies.
