ERS Software for ergoline Rehabilitation System

Systematically developing the performance of the cardiovascular system is one of the major goals of cardiac rehabilitation. Ergometer training on the basis of standardized protocols has more and more become the gold standard in rehabilitation. In close cooperation with physicians and physiotherapists, ergoline developed its new ERS system concept, an intuitive, sophisticated tool which is flexible enough to easily adapt to the most varied requirements.
The quality guidelines for cardiac rehabilitation today make high demands on the systems used. The acquisition and storage of full-disclosure data including ECG, heart rate and blood pressure for the duration of the entire test is of particular importance. From chipcard-assisted creation of individual training protocols and reliable patient tracking to the automatic control of the connected ergometers and treadmills as well as the comprehensive monitoring of the training sessions, there is no need to accept compromise. The full documentation of all data - even over long periods of time - is a must for the meaningful evaluation of the training outcome.
On the basis of the full-disclosure ECG and other training data displayed and stored in real time of up to 16 patients, the physiotherapist is able to quickly assess the patient status at any time during the training. The alarms whose criteria can be separately defined for each individual patient are readily identified on the display.
Even while the training is in progress, a patient's training and alarm parameters can be easily modified and adapted. In addition to manual modifications you can toggle between heart-rate-targeted and constant-load protocols at any time. It is also possible to stop the test for an individual patient whenever necessary.
With a host of options for defining warm-up, exercise and recovery phases, a patient's personal training protocol is easy to configure.
You can specify a load for constant-load tests, or you specify a target pulse rate and the ergometer will adapt the load to keep the pulse at a constant rate.
Interval training can be selected to meet special training requirements. Interval protocols specify individual training units to the second - the graphic assists in defining the protocol phases. You can click on a particular patient's current training data at any time to view them at a larger scale. The ECG data stored up to this point can be reviewed on screen.
Comparing data directly with previous training sessions provides important information for the assessment of the patient's current performance. While reviewing a patient's individual data, you never lose sight of the other ECGs and you can switch to another patient at any time.
All of a patient's single training sessions can be reviewed at any workstation in the network. The full-disclosure ECG data as well as all other trainingrelated information are available for analysis. Events earkmarked during the training can be accessed directly. Previously acquired diurnal profiles are only a mouseclick away. On the basis of the diagram illustrating all training units that a particular patient has completed, you can easily assess the therapy outcome. In addition to the load levels reached, the graphs also provide a concise, clear presentation of the heart rate and blood pressure trends (warm-up, training, recovery). Tabular data preferred? View the training parameters in tabular format and export them for further processing.
