IBM 5880

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The IBM 5880, also known as the IBM 5880 Electrocardiograph System, is a computerized electrocardiograph and diagnostic tool. It was developed by IBM scientist Ray Bonner in the early 1970s and announced in 1978.

The IBM 5880 was designed to analyze electrocardiograms, measurements of the electrical activity of the heart, and provide diagnostic advice to the same standards as a cardiologist. Similar programs ran on mainframe computers, but the 5880 was the first version that could be placed in a cart and taken into hospital conditions.
