WIRELESS CARDIOVASCULAR MONITORING SYSTEM iHEALTH CARDIOLAB

iHealth CardioLab is the first diagnostics system for the early detection of cardiovascular diseases. It measures tell-tale signs such as blood pressure as well as delivering information on several key indicators of cardiovascular functions such as ABI (Ankle Brachial Index), MAP (mean arterial pressure), PP (pulse pressure), C/O (cardiac output) and S/V (stroke volume). These indicators can help GPs decide what preventative medication or practices should be enforced in order to offset risk of disease.

So how does this work? Well, iHealth, established in Silicon Valley in 2009, have developed measuring nodes to be worn by the patient on the arm and the ankle simultaneously. These units store the patients health readings and transmits the data via Bluetooth to an application (IoS only currently) in just 2 minutes. The application correlates the data from the bluetooth devices along with other risk factors and to give GPs a better overview of the patients health.
