Patients suffering from heart disease use electrocardiogram (ECG) devices to electrically monitor the impulse rate of their heart. People used these health tech devices to monitor their heart health so as to avoid stressful and potentially damaging situation by exercising precaution. The accuracy and impact of said devices have led to their increased popularity over time.
Today there are countless health tech devices available in the market, making it increasingly difficult for the general public to fight through the noise and pick one the field. Moreover, keeping such a device with one’s self at all times is a definite demerit of these health devices, as many are too large or cumbersome to carry in your jeans.
To sort this issue, AliveCor has found what they consider to be a solution to this problem, introducing a new kind of iPhone case that is an actual ECG device. With the help of this new iPhone case anyone can easily monitor their heart impulses because this gadget not only works as an ECG device; it also measures the user’s heart rate.
The device is called the AliveCor Heart Monitor and the best part about this health tech inspired iPhone case is that it has been approved by the FDA. The powerful battery of the AliveCor Heart Monitor can take up to 12,000 30-second ECG readings. The incredible device is able to do so without consuming your smartphone’s power thanks to an embedded three volt coin like battery cell that powers it.
Users can record and measure the electrical activity of their heart by simply applying their hand to the contacts on this iPhone case. To do so is relatively inexpensive as well, as the AliveCor is available for just $199. The ECG case works well with iPhone 4 and 4S devices powered by iOS 5.1.
The developers of AliveCor have planned to ship this health tech iPhone case at the start of 2013. AliveCor will be available for sale for both commercial and professional usage; however its developers have focused the device towards medical practitioners.
