India develops portable remote heart monitor

heartdisease patients, in the "golden time" to carry out rescue is very criticalIndian researchers have developed a portable remote heart monitor that can be used to send electrocardiograms and other text messages to nearbyhospital
s with the help of a patient's mobile phone, thus greatly improving rescue efficiencyResearchers at the University of Alabama in India have developed a prototype of the Bluetooth heart monitor, the American Association for the Advancement of Science reported WednesdayIt is the equivalent of a portable cardiac telemedicine microsystem, carried by a heart patient on his body, which can record electrocardiograms on time and transmit electrocardiograms to the patient's mobile phone via radio frequency signalsThe improved specialphone is attached to a micro-analyzer that can analyze electrocardiograms on its own and detect signs such as heart failure in patientsOnce the patient's heart is detected with some kind of abnormality, such as arrhythmia, the mobile phone will issue an alarm, and the abnormal electrocardiogram signal through text message to the nearest medical center, text message will also be accompanied by the patient's personal basic information, convenientthe hospitalthe first time to contact the patient, arrange first aidIt is reported that researchers are currently designing how to add global positioning to the mobile phone system for heart patients, so that emergency centers can quickly determine the location of patients
