Abstract
Introduction: In recent years, technology has taken computing power to new horizons, driving an unprecedented revolution in
information processing. Bioelectric signals are low amplitude and frequency signals coming from the human body, generated by
electrochemical reactions of certain types of cells when excited. Some of these signals include the electrocardiogram or
electroencephalogram.
Objective: Design a software for the development of knowledge about electrocardiogram in Cuban doctors who work in Venezuela.
Method: An innovative development study was carried out on doctors working in the state of Carabobo in the Republic of Venezuela,
in the period from September 5, 2023 to March 20, 2024.
Results: The specialist group was made up of 5 Doctors Specialist in Cardiology and 2 Graduates in Computer Science, which agreed
with the design of the software for its implementation. In relation to the types of electrocardiograms, the appropriate indicator before
using the software was represented by 52.38% and once the work with the software was finished, this indicator was represented by
90.47%.
Conclusions: The educational software fulfilled the use for which it was created as an educational tool, with principles of didactics,
becoming more motivating when incorporating knowledge about electrocardiogram topics to Cardiology resident doctors in service.

Introduction
In recent years, technology has taken computing power to new horizons,
driving an unprecedented revolution in information processing. With each
new generation, the limits are pushed even further, allowing machines to
perform more complex tasks and significantly assist in decision-making for
critical problems, such as medical diagnosis.[1].
All of this, added to the popularization of the study and research of
algorithms to analyze bioelectric signals, has encouraged the scientific
community to develop mathematical models and software that serve as
support for health professionals. Bioelectric signals are low amplitude and
frequency signals coming from the human body, generated by
electrochemical reactions of certain types of cells when excited. Some of
these signals include the electrocardiogram (ECG) or the
electroencephalogram (EEG). [1]. Specifically, the ECG plays a
fundamental role in the study of the cardiac system, since it is probably the
most important non-invasive method when detecting and diagnosing heart
diseases. To record the behavior of the electric field produced by cardiac
