Heal your Heart!
AliveCor created its mobile electrocardiogram (ECG)
recorder, which is basically an iPhone case embedded with electro sensors.
It lets anyone perform a routine heart checkup by pressing a
smartphone to their chest.
This means patients could share weekly, or even daily,
readings with doctors.
In this 15-part series on the thrilling, disruptive
potential of "mHealth," I highlight businesses using mobile
technology in health care.
Leveraging the wonders of a device that's fast becoming
ubiquitous – two in three people worldwide own a cell phone – a new generation
of startups is building apps and add-ons that make your handheld work like
high-end medical equipment.
Cheaper, sleeker, and a lot more versatile.
