The project topic that we have selected-"Health Auditing Scheme" is highly generic and can have several implications depending on the parameter of choice. The ECG (Electrocardiogram) machine is central to any Health Auditing Scheme because it gives an accurate representation of the function of "driving force" of the Human Body, i.e., the HEART. An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) is a device which graphically records the electrical activity of the muscles of the heart. It is used to identify normal and abnormal heartbeats. First invented in the early 1900s, the EKG (derived from the German electrokardiogramma) has become an important medical diagnostic device. Using an EKG allows doctors to measure the relative voltage of these impulses at various positions in the heart. Electrocardiograms are possible because the body is a good conductor of electricity. If the ECG indicates a heart attack or possible coronary artery disease, further testing is often done to completely define the nature of the problem and decide on the optimal therapy.
