Software for acquisition of exercise test database

The purpose of this project was to design and implement software that will provide the ability to collate all exercise ECG test patient information in a database. Software was meant to reduce the workload of nurses and doctors and decrease the number of errors in information, in addition to which it was meant to replace the manually written paper form with a printed version from the application. The automation and calculation components will speed up the work of nurses and doctors and also helps doctor when making diagnoses of patients. The development process was done in close collaboration with the personnel of Tampere University Hospital. This guaranteed easy implementation of the software in a hospital environment. The software has been in use since October 2000 and there have been approximately 1000 patients tested with the software.
