What is ACG ?
ACG (Acoustic Cardiogram) is an innovative
medical diagnostic technology, capable of
detecting potential problems in Cardio
Pulmonary system through advanced
acoustic analysis. ACG was researched and
developed by Quantum Zen LLP.
ACG can 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.
Also experts can use it to screen certain
abdominal issues.
ACG is useful as a quick, non invasive
diagnostic device to monitor cardio vascular
health 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
systems. It is superior to traditional
stethoscopes and currently used digital
stethoscopes in finding 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 acts as input to our
software core which has advanced spectral
analysis features that presents high fidelity
audio waves and spectrograms of cardio-
pulmonary signals. Coupled with machine
learning it helps us identifying structural and
functional issues in an effective manner.
