ECGLight: Compute-Light Framework For Paper ECG Digitization and Myocardial Infarction Screening
arXiv:2607.07683v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electrocardiography (ECG) is one of the most widely used tests for diagnosing cardiovascular disease. Yet several remote clinics still utilize paper ECG printouts for their analysis due to limited connectivity and computational capacity. As a result, vast numbers of physical ECGs obtained in remote areas still remain incapable of being accessed by contemporary artificial-intelligence (AI)-based decision support as they require high computational resources or strong high-speed internet connectivity. This causes several cases where conditions like
The proliferation of AI-based medical diagnostics combined with persistent infrastructure limitations in remote areas creates a pressing need for compute-light solutions.
This development allows advanced AI diagnostics to bridge the digital divide, making high-quality healthcare accessible in underserved regions and potentially reducing diagnostic disparities.
AI-powered medical diagnostics can now be deployed and utilized effectively without requiring robust high-speed internet or significant computational resources at the point of care.
