I recently had a heart holter monitor on my for a day and when it was done, before giving it to the doctor, I saved the file onto my computer from it's SD card.
This is a .DCM file which is the DICOM file format. Usually this format is opened with a DICOM viewer. This is common for medical images.
The problem is, no dicom viewer I can get my hands on will open it.
Opening the file in a hex editor seems to almost show gibberish to my untrained eyes.
The required "DCIM" string at the beginning of the file is missing and the rest of the hex file doesn't look like it follows a real DICOM file encoding.
Here is the github repo with the .DCM file and the .INF file which has the monitor device info:

Also a VirusTotal link: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/be9d63cfd40804b6886b2c6aa9c4eabc79ed874d7faba1f4494ff10047ef6590?nocache=1
The monitor website seems to recommend this software for it:

Although it's like $500 or so.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to decipher this file?
