Official Title: ECG Device for Long QT Syndrome Screening in Newborns

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this project is to test a new, very compact, 12-lead ECG device as a way to detect long QT syndrome (LQTS) in infants. The device -- called QTScreen -- was developed in Phase I of this project.

In Phase II, the goals are to test the capacity of the device for LQTS screening in newborns and to obtain prevalence data on LQTS in California.

The 4 main objectives are:

  1. To validate the capacity of QTScreen for LQTS screening in newborns.
  2. To determine the extent to which parents are able to use QTScreen on their babies at home.
  3. To survey end-user experience and opinions.
  4. To estimate the LQTS prevalence in California.
