The software also offers a tool for adding and editing user-specific narrative phrases, which makes reporting significantly easier and faster", says Arto Pietilä, Senior Vice President, Bittium Medical Technologies.

Bittium Cardiac Navigator™ software solution is designed for analyzing clinical Holter ECG recordings. Based on recordings, the software provides information about the electrical cardiac activity of the heart, and in particular, about arrhythmia and other exceptional events.
