License the Glasgow Program
The Glasgow Program is available for non-exclusive commercial licensing through the University of Glasgow. The software has been adopted by numerous medical device manufacturers internationally.
Regulatory status
What the Glasgow Program is built to — and where confirmation is still needed before you rely on it.
Standards & quality
- IEC 60601-2-51 — requirements for computerised ECG analysis
- IEC 60601-2-25 — requirements for electrocardiographs
- ISO 9001:2015 — quality management, certified since 2003
Market clearances
- United States — FDATo be confirmed
- European Union — CE (MDR)To be confirmed
- United Kingdom — UKCATo be confirmed
Marketing authorisation for a finished device is held by the manufacturer that integrates the Glasgow Program. The regulatory position above must be confirmed with the Section before it is relied upon.

What you license
The Glasgow Program provides comprehensive automated ECG interpretation.
Age and Sex Based Criteria
Extensive use of age and sex-specific reference ranges, valid from birth through adulthood including neonatal ECGs.
Racial Variation
Race-based diagnostic criteria accounting for documented differences in ECG amplitudes across populations.
Clinical Context
Optional integration of clinical diagnosis and drug therapy information to improve interpretation accuracy.
Serial Comparison
Compare ECGs over time to detect evolving changes, critical for monitoring and research studies.
Multilingual Output
Diagnostic statements available in 15+ languages including European languages, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, and US/UK English variants.
