China News Service, Wuhan, November 6 (Du Weiwei) "Dingling..." In the early morning of the 6th, a rush of phone calls awakened Mr. Li in Yicheng, Hubei who was still asleep.
The person who called him was Shi Shaobo, a doctor from Hubei Provincial People's Hospital (Wuhan University People's Hospital). Because of remote monitoring that Mr. Li had suffered a serious heart block, he reminded him to see a doctor in time.
This is one of the scenarios where the "Building and Application of Big Data-based Wearable ECG Monitoring and Early Warning System" project led by Professor Huang Congxin from the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of Hubei Provincial People's Hospital benefited cardiovascular patients.
In the past four years, the project has screened more than 10,000 patients and saved lives.
On November 3, the project passed the on-site acceptance in a major technological innovation project organized by the Hubei Provincial Department of Science and Technology.

According to reports, during the implementation of the project, patients with cardiovascular diseases wear a remote real-time dynamic ECG monitoring device weighing only 39 grams. ECG information can be sent directly to the doctor workstation of Hubei Provincial People's Hospital through Bluetooth and mobile phone network. Keep it in the Internet cloud forever.
If bad ECG activity is detected, the "wearable" device will automatically alarm; if the patient feels unwell, he can also manually "one-button alarm".
Doctor workstations and the big data center headquarters will receive "critical value" reminders and manual alarms from patients, so that doctors can catch abnormal ECG activity in time and guide diagnosis and treatment.
For more than three years, Huang Congxin has led the research team members in dozens of counties, cities and towns in Hubei and Henan provinces to build a remote ECG diagnosis and treatment network and train doctors in primary hospitals on ECG diagnosis technology.
At the same time, a set of medical service procedures has been established in Hubei Provincial People's Hospital to provide remote ECG diagnosis and treatment services for 38 medical institutions.
The community and township grassroots hospitals that join this center can directly transmit the patient’s information to the headquarters of the Hubei Provincial People’s Hospital of the "Hubei Province ECG Big Data Center" if the diagnosis of the patient’s ECG activity is unclear. Cardiovascular experts will make timely judgments and give guidance on treatment.
Chen Yuanxiu, one of the project team members and director of the Department of Cardiac Function of Hubei Provincial People's Hospital, introduced that the project has been applied in more than 80 hospitals across the country, and more than 10,000 patients with high risk of sudden cardiac death have been found and treated.
At the same time, continue to develop second-generation products and combine them with telemedicine to realize closed-loop medical services for the full life cycle of arrhythmia from early warning, diagnosis, treatment to follow-up.
