This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of the newly developed electrode pad of ECG with that of a conventional method. To accomplish this, participants who performed both methods on a 46 year old male model were queried and their satisfaction, time, and accuracy were measured by a specialist from 01/06/2018 to 15/06/2018. In the conventional method, a newly developed single pad employing a 12-lead ECG and SIM-Tree was employed. There were 104 total participants in this study (44% medical members). Evaluation of the total procedure time revealed that SIM (mean 65.39 seconds) was more rapid than C (mean 94.38 seconds) (p<0.05). When we evaluated the response after all process, satisfaction with SIM (mean 97.69 seconds) was greater than that with C (mean 68.5 seconds) (p<0.05). Moreover, the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.959 and accuracy was very high (p<0.05). In conclusion, the SIM-Tree was very effective based on procedure time, satisfaction and accuracy when compared with conventional methods.
