Can be carried in Pocket which enables capturing ECG at the time of possible cardiac event such as chest pain, palpitations etc. ECG taken at such times are very helpful for doctors to understand heart conditions.
2) Light weight- Lighter than the lightest mobile phone
3) Touch technology: It doesn't need any gels/wires/pads to be stuck to the body. The ECG signal is obtained by simply touchi
ng appropriate places in body guided by app pictorially. Pictures in the app show exact locations and how the device should be held touching the body.
4) Number of leads: Supports six leads namely lead 1, v1, v2, v3, v4 and v6. This gives a much better view of heart from different angles compared to single lead devices. Having six leads also significantly brings down the overall cost for taking ECG per lead.
5) Accuracy: Tested and validated in hospital settings against standard 12 lead (expensive) ECG machines and found to be highly accurate/
6) Speed: It takes merely 15 second to capture each lead
7) Interpretations: Supports interpretation such as automatic calculation of heart rate, QRS interval, PR interval, QTc interval and QT interval
8) Internal rechargeable battery operated which enables it to be used anywhere/anytime
9) Smart Apps: Free App called "Sanket" for Android and iOS phones which have BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) capability. This minimizes battery usage, hence longer life.
10) Cloud Support: Free infinite cloud backup which keeps old data recoverable anywhere, anytime.
11) Instant report Sharing: Single click viewing and sharing of reports to anyone such as medical professional or friends and family using any of the communication applications installed on the phone such as email or messengers.
12) Reports are saved in the phone in two formats: PDF and JPG. This helps in quickly sharing the report via variety of apps depending on the supported format and file size. Utility:
Highly useful for people having cardiac problems or high cardiac risk individuals or health conscious people. Uses for people having cardiac problems:
1) Regular or periodic monitoring of supported cardiac events or conditions by taking ECG anytime anywhere and share with their doctor
2) Symptom based ECG taking (e.g. when chest pain happens) by people themselves anytime anywhere and share with their doctor
3) Sharing reports to their friends and family. Example being elderly sharing their reports with their young family members living elsewhere
4) No hassles of keeping/managing ECGs in paper file. All data is digitally stored with a backup on the cloud. This helps doctors to see trends if required.
5) Quick and effective way of measuring medication tolerance and effectiveness and effect of changes in lifestyle
Uses for people who are in high risk of getting cardiac problems such as smokers etc.
1) Regular monitoring of commonly occurring heart condition such as Arrhythmia which is a leading cause of strokes
2) Quick and effective way of measuring effect of changes in lifestyle on heart
Uses for health conscious people :
1) Monitoring of heart rate during workouts
2) Quick and effective way of measuring effect of changes in lifestyle on heart
