BioQT

BioQT is a service that analyzes ECG waveforms. It is available in three levels of service:

  • Pure automated analysis (standard report).
  • Customized automated analysis (using customised report form).
  • Analysis with human cardiologist over-read.

Features

  • BioQT Measures QT interval beat-by-beat over continuous ECG Holter recordings.  It can track the shift in QT interval following dosage from an active drug.
  • BioQT also measures the QRS interval and can track any change in drug-induced T-wave morphology (shape) changes.   Automated generation of reports on each Holter is analysed in MS Word format.  Reports can be customized to suit customer’s requirements.  BioQT is thousands of times faster than human forms of measurement.

Benefits

  • Speed: Fast turnround of results (typically only a few minutes to analyse a Holter file and produce reports).  Analyses many thousands of beats per Holter as opposed to humans who can only measure ‘tens’ at most.
  • Accuracy and consistency: Proven in validation studies to be more consistent than human measurements of QT interval.
  • Cost reduction: Greater consistency of measurements can reduce the required number of subjects in a trial, substantially lowering costs.  Faster analysis and reduced human intervention reduces costs.

“BioQT® has the capability to analyze a much greater quantity of electrocardiographic data in each subject as compared to conventional methods of analysis. The result will be much greater specificity and sensitivity for abnormal repolarization which will allow drugs to be more accurately evaluated with fewer subjects exposed in smaller, less expensive trials.” Jay Mason, M.D
