If unfortunately you have a heart health problem, you will know that controlling your heart rate is key. There are more and more ECG (electrocardiogram) devices , including wearables such as smartwatches and fitness bracelets.
If you have a heart condition, you probably know what a Holter monitor is. These are very uncomfortable and their size is disproportionate to continue with your normal day-to-day life. That is why a new monitoring patch of the most sophisticated and comfortable has been created.
A comfortable patch to measure the pulse
Mawi, the company that has created this new disposable monitoring patch, believes that its formula will help patients have greater ease of use and therefore help detect arrhythmias and signs that something is wrong with your heart than if they need other devices with which cardiologists record our pulses.
“Cardiovascular diseases represent the greatest risk to our long-term health and are the leading cause of death worldwide. Since lack of or ineffective monitoring is often critical, many of these deaths can be avoided with proper preventative measures. Too often, patients don’t realize the severity of their symptoms before it’s too late. We are on a mission to prevent the ‘silent killers’ of the heart .”
In addition to this ECG work, the patch also has other measurements of medical indices of interest , such as the respiratory rate or skin temperature.
The patch connects to a smart device in the doctor’s office. The device funnels data collected by the app and saved to the cloud, where an AI analyzes the results and highlights anything unusual for cardiologists to take a closer look at. This allows you to have complete reports of cardiac metrics more immediately.
“In less than 24 hours they have a very detailed, accurate and actionable report. Physicians can focus on treatment, rather than spending a lot of time analyzing data for diagnosis. It only takes two seconds to handle it.”
Allows normal life
Mawi Heart Patch, her company claims, can be applied in less than a minute and you can live normally while wearing it, and even have normal sex.
“Patients can shower, sleep, exercise and live all aspects of life normally. Sex is a big and important part of life, and patients can even have sex normally when wearing the Mawi patch,” says Andrew Klymenko, CEO of Mawi.
