Meet Kardia Mobile.
Your personal EKG.
Take a medical-grade EKG in just 30 seconds. Results are delivered right to your smartphone. Now you can know anytime, anywhere if your heart rhythm is normal, or if atrial fibrillation is detected.
The ability to have your phone tie to your healthcare record
and track medical metrics will have vast repercussions. Though some aren’t
cleared for sale in US yet, devices like the Alivecor
electrocardiogram can monitor your heart in realtime, send the data to the
cloud, and allow your cardiologist to look at it instantly. Other devices are
turning phones into otoscopes for looking in your ears, or glucometers for
monitoring blood sugar.
Quantified self devices like the Fitbit, Jawbone Up, and more medically
themed devices will take what you used to do dsin a clinic or hospital and
bring it home. This will allow therapies to be tuned much more effectively than
scribbling data on a piece of paper and bringing it in to your doctor months
later.
