Cairns, A., Bond, R. R., Finlay, D., Breen, C., Guldenring, D., Gaffney, R., Henn, P., Gallagher, A., & Peace, A. (2016, October). A novel human-computer interface creating a framework for the cognitive ergonomics of ECG interpretation. Poster presented at Irish Human Computer Interaction Conference, Cork

Predominantly the 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation process remains a paper based approach. However, the ECG in this format creates a significant cognitive workload for an interpreter due its complexity and the plethora of knowledge that...
