• Research summary

  The overall purpose of this preliminary study is to investigate and optimise the electrode positioning on a pre-prototype, 6 electrode ECG device with respect to giving the best correlation to standard 10 electrode (12-lead) ECG measurements.
  Approximately 30 healthy adult volunteers will be asked to undergo a series of measurements with 6 electrodes in 4 different configurations, plus 2 measurements of the standard 10 electrode configuration, during a single study visit.
  The primary objective is to confirm which of the 4 different 6-electrode configurations is most likely to match the standard 12-lead ECG (Best Electrode Fit)
  Secondary objectives are: Investigation of systematic alteration of ECG by posture (seated versus supine); Investigation of the potential workflow advantage of seated 6 electrode measurement over the standard supine 12 lead ECG method.
