Date posted: 06/12/2008 Dr. Ivor Kovic of Croatia, has started the openECGproject, in an attempt to create open source ECG hardware and software standards for use around the world. The openECGproject is essentially an online community conceived around a simple, but challenging and worthy goal - to develop an open source hardware and software solution for electrocardiography. More precisely, to develop an open source, low cost, and clinically functional 12-lead PC-based ECG with interpretive software. The idea was conceived to help those hospitals and doctors, mainly from the Third World, who cannot afford similar currently available and expensive commercial products. Development of a free alternative could, I believe, have a profound impact on health care not just in poor countries, but in others too. The whole project is philanthropic and depends on the efforts of volunteers who are looking to make a difference.
