A researcher related to R G Kar Medical Faculty has developed an offline, app-based screening instrument geared toward figuring out gym-goers who could also be at elevated danger of sudden cardiac dying (SCD) throughout train.
Dr Sujoy Mukherjee, Assistant Professor of Physiology beneath the West Bengal Medical Schooling Service and presently a DM resident in Medical and Interventional Physiology at AIIMS Patna, developed the Gym_Guard SCD Danger Stratification translational instrument throughout his lively analysis work at R G Kar Medical Faculty.
Designed for on-site pre-exercise screening, the instrument generates an instantaneous report with out an web connection. Its offline structure is meant to assist shield private well being information and help compliance with India’s Digital Private Knowledge Safety Act, 2023.
Key options
- 4-phase screening protocol: The instrument assesses customers throughout 4 levels—resting baseline, submaximal exertion utilizing the Åstrand-Ryhming protocol, one-minute restoration, and five-minute autonomic restoration. Parameters embody a 12-lead ECG, coronary heart fee, blood stress, QTc interval and heart-rate variability.
- Automated danger stratification: Primarily based on electro-autonomic indicators, together with QTc length, one-minute heart-rate restoration and dynamic T-wave adjustments, the instrument locations customers in colour-coded danger classes: Inexperienced, Yellow, Orange and Purple.
- Individualised FITT prescriptions: It generates train steerage on frequency, depth, time and kind (FITT), with limits tailor-made to the consumer’s assessed security profile. For higher-risk people, it could advocate train restrictions or instant cardiology referral.
- Offline information safety and entry: The platform capabilities with out cloud connectivity, enabling instant on-site reporting whereas lowering dependence on a resident train physiologist.
lowering dependence on a resident train physiologist.
The invention has been filed for intellectual-property safety in India and is at present beneath assessment on the Indian Patent Workplace. Dr Mukherjee is in search of collaborators to develop and validate the machine additional.
