Problem
Detecting cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, often requires long-term heart rhythm monitoring. Traditional methods can be cumbersome, requiring in-person visits to medical facilities and potentially limiting the duration of monitoring.
Solution
ECG247 offers a solution through its medical-grade, wireless heart rhythm sensor designed for extended monitoring in both clinical and at-home settings. The system comprises a small sensor attached to the chest, a user-friendly mobile application, and secure cloud storage with automated rhythm analysis. The sensor continuously monitors heart activity for up to 7 days, providing immediate feedback on potential arrhythmias via the app. Data is securely transmitted to the cloud, enabling healthcare professionals to remotely access and review patient ECG data for comprehensive assessment.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals at increased risk of atrial fibrillation, those experiencing palpitations or irregular heartbeats, primary care physicians, cardiologists, and hospitals seeking a user-friendly and reliable solution for long-term heart rhythm monitoring.
