What is ACG ?
ACG (Acoustic Cardiogram) is an
innovative medical diagnostic device,
capable of detecting potential
problems in Cardio Pulmonary system
through advanced acoustic analysis.
ACG was researched and developed by
Quantum Zen LLP.
ACG helps us detect heart problems
such as heart failure, valvular defects,
abnormal heart rhythms, congential
heart diseases and other structural
issues with greater ease and accuracy.
It also detects lung issues such as lung
failure, blockages, COPD, pneumonia,
lung edema and pleural effusion.
ACG serves as a quick, handy, non
invasive diagnostic device to monitor
cardio vascular health along with ECG,
before moving on to advanced invasive
techniques.
ACG helps us analyse mechanical
function of heart, complementing ECG
which helps us analyse electrical
activity and rhythms of heart.
Technology behind ACG:
ACG uses advanced acoustic analysis
to detect problems in cardio-
pulmonary system. It is superior to
traditional stethoscopes and currently
used digital stethoscopes, in detecting
subtle anomalies in heart and lung
sounds.
The sonic vibrations generated by
action of heart muscles, valves, blood
flow and respiratory sounds from lungs
are captured using specialised acoustic
transducers and transmitted and
stored digitally.
This digital acoustic data enters our
software core which features advanced
spectral analysis, that presents high
fidelity audio waves and spectrograms
of cardio-pulmonary signals.
The next stage is a machine learning
module that enables ACG to train on
vast data sheets to quickly identify
anomalies without human intervention.
