ECG interval monitoring provides key insights into the diagnosis of cardiac\ndiseases. The standard 12-lead ECG is generally used, however, because of the\ncurrent COVID-19 pandemic there is a strong need for a remote monitoring\nsolution which will reduce exposure of health care providers to coronavirus.\nThis article presents a disposable wireless patch biosensor (VitalPatch) and\nassociated platform functionalities for real-time continuous measurement of\nclinically relevant ECG intervals including PR interval, QRS duration, QT\ninterval, corrected QT interval by Bazett (QTb), and corrected QT interval by\nFridericia (QTf). The performance of the VitalPatch is validated by comparing\nits automated algorithm interval measurements to the manually annotated global\nintervals of the 12-lead ECG device in 30 subjects. The accuracy of interval\nmonitoring (in terms of mean timing error calculated by subtracting the\nVitalPatch measurements from the global intervals) is 2.7+/-15.94 ms,\n-1.97+/-12.29 ms, -14.6+/-12.97 ms, - 15.33+/-14.11 ms, and -15.08+/-13.69 ms\nfor PR interval, QRS duration, QT interval, QTb, and QTf, respectively. These\nresults demonstrate that the VitalPatch is a viable solution for measuring ECG\nintervals while taking advantage of its remote monitoring feature during the\npandemic.\n
