What is PMcardio?
PMcardio is an AI-powered clinical assistant that empowers healthcare professionals to interpret 12-lead ECGs in just a few seconds and accurately diagnose up to 49 heart conditions. The smartphone application digitizes any 12-lead ECG from a photo or uploaded image and provides instant AI-powered interpretations with expert-level accuracy. It is trusted by over 100,000 clinicians worldwide and is particularly designed for emergency physicians, general practitioners, nurses, paramedics, and cardiologists who need rapid ECG analysis at the point of care.
Key features include detection of 49 distinct cardiac patterns across four major categories: rhythms and arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation/flutter, supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia, sinus bradycardia/tachycardia), conduction disorders (left/right bundle-branch block, second- and third-degree AV block), ischemia and infarction (acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction and STEMI equivalents including posterior STEMI and hyperacute T-waves), and 12 validated ECG interval measurements (QTc, PR, QRS and more). The app also provides individualized treatment recommendations adherent to the latest clinical practice guidelines based on patient data.
PMcardio is a Class IIb medical device certified under EU Medical Device Regulation with CE Mark, and is fully GDPR and HIPAA compliant. It works with any commercially available 12-lead ECG device and is easily accessible through any smartphone (iOS and Android). The platform includes AI explainability for STEMI with color-coded highlights showing waveform segments driving each positive diagnosis, 30-day report history for revisiting and sharing analyses, and for organizations, direct device and EHR integrations with real-time cardiology alerts.
The tool is ideal for emergency care, primary care, and hospital settings where fast, accurate ECG interpretation is critical. It outperforms standard ECG machine algorithms with up to 2x higher sensitivity for early STEMI detection and reduces false STEMI alarms by over 60%, preventing false positive cath lab activations. PMcardio identifies atrial fibrillation with 98.3% accuracy, on par with board-certified cardiologists.

Frequently asked questions about PMcardio
What is PMcardio?
PMcardio offers CE-certified AI ECG Models that read ECGs and offers a complex assessment of 40+ cardiac abnormalities. Clinically validated in 15+ studies and trusted by over 100,000 clinicians, it delivers rapid, expert-level interpretations, empowering emergency physicians, GPs, nurses, paramedics, and cardiologists to act with confidence at the point of care. Certain AI ECG Modules are CE-marked medical devices under EU MDR and only certified for marketing in the European Union and the United Kingdom.
Is it safe to upload ECG images to PMcardio?
Yes, your encrypted data never leaves your region. PMcardio is fully GDPR and HIPAA compliant and adheres to the strictest regulatory and security frameworks, including SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications. For a detailed overview of compliance, data protection practices, and security protocols, visit their Trust Center.
Is PMcardio clinically validated?
Yes, PMcardio's AI ECG Models have been rigorously validated in more than 15 independent, peer-reviewed clinical studies. Across these studies, PMcardio AI ECG interpretation outperformed standard-of-care methods, delivering 2x sensitivity for early STEMI detection (often on the very first ECG), reduces false STEMI alarms by over 60% preventing false positive cath lab activations, and identifies atrial fibrillation with 98.3% accuracy on par with board-certified cardiologists.
Which ECG formats does PMcardio accept?
PMcardio supports every commercially available 12-lead ECG, whether as a single-page image or a multi-page report. The only hard requirement is that the ECG must be printed on electrocardiogram graph paper where every five small squares form a larger 5 mm square. The entire ECG should appear on one continuous grid without being split across multiple intersecting grids. Fewer-lead ECGs such as 1-lead, 3-lead, or 6-lead recordings are currently not supported.
What ECG abnormalities can PMcardio detect?
PMcardio's AI-powered ECG algorithms recognise 49 distinct patterns across four major categories: Rhythms and arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation/flutter, supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia, sinus bradycardia/tachycardia), Conduction disorders (left/right bundle-branch block, second- and third-degree AV block), Ischaemia and infarction (acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction and STEMI equivalents), and ECG measurements (QTc, PR, QRS and nine additional measurements).
Is PMcardio just another AI chatbot like ChatGPT or Perplexity?
No. PMcardio's AI ECG Models are deterministic, CE-certified medical devices purpose-built for ECG interpretation, not a conversational large language model. It has zero hallucinations (the same ECG file always returns the same diagnosis), evidence-based training with fixed model weights derived from 4 million+ clinically labelled ECGs with matched patient outcomes, independent proof validated in 15 peer-reviewed studies across Europe and the U.S., and regulatory oversight with post-market surveillance and quality-management systems ensuring ongoing compliance with Medical Device Regulation.
Is PMcardio more accurate than automated ECG machine reads?
Yes. In six peer-reviewed studies, PMcardio's AI ECG algorithms demonstrated up to 2x higher accuracy than conventional ECG algorithms used in standard ECG machines such as GE Marquette 12SL, Philips, and Glasgow Algorithm.
Is PMcardio free?
Yes. Start with a Free Plan that lets you analyse up to 5 ECGs per month at no cost with no credit card required. If you need more reports and advanced Pro features, you can upgrade to a paid subscription with larger monthly ECG quota, AI explainability for STEMI with colour-coded highlights, 12 validated interval measurements, and 30-day report history to revisit, download, or share any ECG analysed in the past month.
Who is PMcardio designed for?
PMcardio is designed specifically for emergency physicians, general practitioners, nurses, paramedics, and cardiologists. It empowers these healthcare professionals to interpret ECGs accurately in under 5 seconds and detect critical conditions like heart attacks and arrhythmias with the skill of a cardiologist at the point of care in emergency, primary, and hospital settings.
What are the enterprise benefits for organizations using PMcardio?
Deploy PMcardio institution-wide to standardize interpretation of 12-lead ECGs. The Enterprise plan adds multi-site administration, direct device and EHR integrations, and real-time cardiology alerts. This drives faster, evidence-based care across the entire health system network, and PMcardio is already used by more than 30 EU health systems leveraging AI to streamline cardiac care and improve patient outcomes.
