Heart disease is a leading cause of death in industrialized nations, with many survivors facing chronic disability. Regular check-ups can reduce fatalities. A new palm-sized heart watch device, an ECG that connects patients and doctors via mobile phones, offers further risk reduction. It allows remote heart monitoring and diagnosis, with cardiac specialists worldwide interested in its potential. Heart disease patient Ray Howe uses the device, positioning electrodes in his belt to record and transmit heart readings for assessment. This is part of telemedicine, which speeds up diagnosis and may detect issues early. The device, costing about the same as a 3G phone, is a valuable tool against coronary heart disease.
