Key result
ECGSight introduces interactive digital calipers to promote active, measurement-based ECG education.
Why the study?
ECG education often relies on automated interpretations, leading to loss of active, measurement-based learning in undergraduate medical students.
ECGSight is a digital caliper tool designed to promote active, measurement-based learning of ECG interpretation among undergraduate medical students.

May support active ECG training in medical students; leaves open efficacy versus traditional methods.
ECGSight is an open-source, interactive digital caliper application developed with R and Shiny for measuring ECG segments and intervals from digital ECG images. It restores active, measurement-based learning that is often lost when students rely on automated ECG interpretations on screens. By shifting ECG education from passive viewing to deliberate skill engagement, the tool helps students better understand ECG scaling, interval boundaries, and clinical variability in a digital environment.
