Technology is expanding rapidly in the health sector. Talking about common people, smartwatch is the biggest example of this. Be it Apple Watch or Fitbit, on many occasions these watches have been able to save the lives of users due to their health related features. Who doesn’t want to be healthy?
We all want to be healthy and want as much information as possible about our body. Tech companies are seeing an opportunity here. An opportunity where they can give consumers something that can relieve them from the stress of major medical tests.
Apple Watch has saved people’s lives many times
We have seen many times that Apple Watch It detects any disturbance going on in the user’s body and gives him a notification. Whenever the consumer goes to the doctor, he gets to know the reason for the notification. However, amidst all this, we do not get the details from Apple Watch that the doctor gives.
This app will fill the gap
A startup is working to fill this gap. We are talking about CardioSignal. This startup has developed an app which can detect heart related problems using your phone. The company’s CEO Juuso Blomster, who has been a cardiologist by profession, said that this startup was started in 2011.
At that time, products like Fitbit had entered the market, which were becoming increasingly popular. He told that at that time a patient had come to him, who wanted to know if he could somehow check the health of his heart with the Sport Watch. After this he started working on various sensors.
He found that with the help of two sensors present in the phone, he could check the condition of someone’s heart. This can be done with the help of accelerometer and gyroscope. Now the question comes that how does their app work?
How does it work?
CardioSignal is an app that you can install on your phone. After this you will have to keep your phone on your chest. With the help of both the sensors mentioned above, this app checks your heart.
After about a minute, the app sends the data to the cloud server for analysis. Whose report the user gets after some time. Such a user gets information about Atrial Fibrillation. This is not like the heart monitoring technology present in smartwatches.
Smartwatch data cannot be used clinically, but this is not the case with CardioSignal. It has been approved for clinical use. It has been placed in the category of CE Class IIa medical device. This app is available in many regions. It can be used in India also.
