Abstract

Considering the importance of training and the need to identify some important electrocardiographic patterns, our aim was to develop a software-based electrocardiogram rhythm simulator, able to generate signals for purposes of training health care professionals, freely available. Additionally we intended to implement a training assessment and the ability to configure specific rhythms/patterns with user-defined settings. In order to achieve the availability requirement we decided to develop our tool as open source. All the software was developed in Linux platform, but releases are available in binary format for Linux and Microsoft Windows platform. The result was a functional signal simulator which satisfied all the requirements we proposed in our aim. The final result of our work is presented and available at Sourceforge.
