Empower Exercise Testing and Reporting
Enhance your analysis and reporting of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to enable you to better assess athletic performance, derive scientifically based exercise prescriptions, identify clinical limitations and evaluate therapeutic interventions.
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN BY >35 YEARS OF RESEARCH
How It Helps
enhancedCPETanalytics™ is a HIPAA compliant software application providing clinical decision support.
The application does not offer diagnoses or treatment recommendations.
Why Exercise Testing Matters
Exercise performance is the core of human health and accomplishment. It informs:
- Athletic Achievement – enabling peak performance
- Health and Well-being – maintaining physical activity and well-being
- Impairment Due To Disease – facilitating clinical diagnosis
- Treatment Responses – quantitate changes due to treatment interventions.
Understanding exercise capacity and identifying what limits performance are essential for fitness, sports, clinical and rehabilitation professionals alike.
How We Make A Difference
Interpreting exercise tests can be overwhelming – until now.
Our novel software simplifies the analysis and reporting of data from cardiopulmonary exercise testing for:
- Athletes & Coaches – refining exercise programming through accurate physiological measurements
- Research Scientists – ensuring quality measurements and thereby qualifying CPET variables for scientific studies
- Clinicians – presenting data in a logical format to facilitate clinical interpretation
- Therapists – enabling development of rehabilitative strategies and accurate assessment of treatment interventions.
enhancedCPETanalytics™ is your partner in delivering expert analysis and empowering you to achieve improved outcomes.

How It Works?
Who Can Benefit
Validation
The automated enhancedCPETanalytics™ software application has been validated in a research collaboration between UCLA and the University of Cambridge, UK. We selected 151 CPET studies performed sequentially in Cambridge. Clinicians spent up to 40 minutes reporting each of these tests. The enhancedCPETanalytics™ software generated organized reports in less than 10 seconds. We compared the determinations of key numerical and categorical variables between the two methods. Outliers, notably those values with differences between the two centers outside 95% CI, were reviewed by blinded investigators and the need for corrections was identified. Key numerical values were compared using Bland-Altman statistics. Key categorical data were compared using Cohen’s kappa statistics.
Outliers corrected by more than the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) for the variable were: Cambridge 53, enhancedCPETanalytics™ 17. For numerical data we saw significant correlation and small mean bias by Bland-Altman analysis between the two analytical methods, more so for maximal values than for slopes and thresholds.
Identification of normal metabolic efficiency, functional impairment, and cardiovascular limitation showed substantial to near perfect agreement by Cohen’s kappa.
The enhancedCPETanalytics™ application has been proven to minimize analytical subjectivity, standardize interpretation, and improve reporting time-efficiency. Such qualities are essential for the wider acceptance and recognition of the clinical usefulness of CPET.

Compatability
All that enhancedCPETanalytics™ requires is accurate raw data acquired by properly calibrated equipment during an incremental exercise protocol that meets certain quality criteria. Beyond this eCPETa offers standardization of data processing, determination of key (or core) variables leading to consistency and reliability in report generation thus reducing subjective influences on data selection and facilitating consistency in clinical interpretation.
The software is agnostic towards the type of equipment. Currently, its report generation is compatible with exported datafiles in .xls, .csv or .xml format from Vyntus (Jaeger), Quark CPET and Innocor® (CosMed), Ultima CPX™ (MGC Diagnostics) and TrueOne 2400 (ParvoMedics).
Testimonials
Alexander E Sherman, MD
Director, Exercise Physiology Laboratory Sacramento Medical Center, California
The Enhanced CPET Analytics report is useful and runs incredibly fast! It distills exercise data down to key variables presented in a clear layout facilitating rapid systematic interpretation. Reading the data flows naturally and quickly differentiating cardiac and pulmonary causes of dyspnea is simpler using the concise 4-panel plots. This novel tool facilitates concise clinical communication and is an amazing resource for anyone caring for people using CPET.
Michael D Troy, MD
Medical Director, Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing, UCLA Health
As director of the invasive cardiopulmonary exercise program at a large academic institution, there are significant demands on my time, in both clinical and research capacities. The enhancedCPETanalytics platform provides near-instantaneous analysis of studies and concisely highlights the most relevant data for each test. The program reached conclusions remarkably similar to my own—in a fraction of the time. With an elegant interface and quality-testing capabilities, this tool has cemented itself in our practice as a means of helping our clinicians interpret and report our studies.
Marshall S Riley, MD, FRCP
Consultant Respiratory Physician, Belfast City Hospital. Honorary Senior Lecturer, Queen’s University, Belfast, Belfast, Northern Ireland. Over thirty years experience in cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
The enhancedCPETanalytics report is set out in an attractive, clear, logical format and includes the most important plots required for clinical diagnosis and prognosis. The quality of the data is automatically assessed and this reduces the chance of misinterpreting technical deficiencies as pathophysiology. The physiological analysis section is a very helpful addition that provides a basis for writing the clinical report. Overall, the enhancedCPETanalytics report should significantly improve the speed, accuracy and confidence of CPET interpretation.
