24th World Congress of the International Measurement Confederation - IMEKO 2024, Hamburg (Germany). 26-29 August 2024
Summary:
Improving awareness of the importance of measurements in the field of health is one of the objectives of the Spanish Metrology Centre (CEM). To achieve this, a health metrology laboratory has been set up to develop projects focused on ensuring the reliability of measurements in equipment such as electrocardiographs (ECGs) and sphygmomanometers. The laboratory's diverse equipment includes vital signs simulators, signal generators, oscilloscopes, multimeters and software such as Python®. These tools have enabled the analysis of simulated ECG reference signal models and the identification of appropriate equipment for sphygmomanometer calibration.
Spanish layman's summary:
El Centro Español de Metrología (CEM) busca concienciar sobre la importancia de las mediciones en salud a través de un laboratorio de metrología sanitaria. Equipado con simuladores y software como Python®, analiza modelos de señales de referencia de ECG y equipos para calibrar esfigmomanómetros.
