From the results posted in PubMed: "A total of 298 patients (14.6%) had 409 EKGs performed and a total of 926 SMS were sent. 921 SMS (99.5%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 98.7-99.8%) arrived within two minutes with a median transmission time of nine seconds (interquartile range (IQR) 3-32 s). Between the gold standard original EKG, and the interpretation of the texted image, six out of 409 (1.5%, 95% CI 0.6-3.3%) had any differences recorded, across all 13 categories. Overall, the study cost 4.1 cents per texted image."
