ECG Test System (ETS)

A hardware re-spin is expensive and causes delays.

The ECG Test System gives your team the data to find ECG performance issues while they’re still cheap to fix.

ETS compares electrode materials and wearable devices through paired measurements across a subject cohort — exposing average performance, variability and subject-specific limitations before they become expensive design problems.

What your team gets

De-risk your ECG
programme at every stage.

Reduce re-spin risk

A quality issue at PoC is a material swap. At PVT, it's a programme delay. Find and fix signal quality issues while they're still cheap.

Faster design decisions

Know which electrode or component performs best before committing to a build. Cut weak options weeks earlier.

Act on evidence

Controlled configuration comparisons and supporting noise metrics, not guesswork.

Be ready, not nervous, for PVT

Enter validation with documented, repeatable data from a defined acquisition and analysis method.

License ETS and apply it in your development, sustaining engineering, or production process.

What ETS is

Results assessed against a known reference. At every level.

A reference-based ECG performance test system that combines hardware tools, a protocol, and proprietary algorithm that holds the acquisition variables constant — so the difference you measure is your design, not the test.

Why Trust ETS
300 +
Electrode materials characterised
Across wet, dry, textile, and metal substrates — ranked by a single objective score.
10 yrs
Of characterisation data
The platform scoring engine is built on a decade of B-Secur laboratory results.

A score for every recording. Context for every decision.

Results are assessed against a known reference at both subject and cohort level — exposing average performance, variability and subject-specific limitations before they become expensive design problems. Each recording returns a standardised Signal Quality Score.

0-10

Signal Quality Score

Rates ECG signal quality against a known reference — higher score means closer performance. Supported by settle-time, beat-validation and noise metrics.

Two ways to use ETS

Choose the right test for your programme stage.

ETS Electrode

For electrode material screening

Use B-Secur jig and reference plaque to rank your electrode materials, coatings, finishes and geometries against it. Run electrode and device testing in parallel.

ETS Device

For full device comparison

Bring your reference device and device under test for a paired comparison across a characterised subject cohort, isolating sources of performance degradation through controlled configuration comparisons and noise metrics.

The cost of a quality problem grows
at every stage — ETS applies at each one

Challenges in ECG on Consumer Wearables

ECG is everywhere. Why isn't there a standard way to test/validate it?

We’ve brought together industry experts to talk about the absence of agreed testing standards for consumer wearable ECG — what it’s costing the industry, and what it would take to change that.
