As clinical practice increasingly shifts toward digital ECG records, the use of physical calipers on computer screens has become impractical, often leading students to rely passively on automated machine-generated interpretations. To address this gap, we developed ECGSight, an open-source, interactive application built with R and Shiny. ECGSight functions as a digital caliper, enabling users to upload any ECG image, calibrate time and voltage scales, and measure ECG segments and intervals with an intuitive click-and-drag interface. The application provides instant measurements, automatically calculates heart rate and corrected QT (QTc) intervals, and supports active learning through hands-on digital ECG analysis. By facilitating accurate ECG measurement in a digital environment, ECGSight bridges the gap between traditional skill-based learning and contemporary electronic clinical workflows.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> ECGSight is an open-source, interactive digital caliper application developed with R and Shiny for measuring ECG segments and intervals from digital ECG images. It restores active, measurement-based learning that is often lost when students rely on automated ECG interpretations on screens. By shifting ECG education from passive viewing to deliberate skill engagement, the tool helps students better understand ECG scaling, interval boundaries, and clinical variability in a digital environment.</p>","PeriodicalId":50852,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Physiology Education","volume":" ","pages":"1235-1240"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149002652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
