Eue-Keun Choiand Seoul National University colleages have developed an atrial fibrillation detecting ring, with similar functionality to AliveCor and other watch-based monitors. The researchers claim that the performance is comparable to medical grade pulse oximeters....
Sheng Xu, Brady Huang, and UCSD colleagues have developed a small, wearable ultrasound patch that monitors blood pressure in arteries up to 4 centimeters under the skin. It is meant to detect cardiovascular problems...
Google’s Lily Peng has developed an algorithm that can predict heart attacks and strokes by analyzing images of the retina. The system also shows which eye areas lead to successful predictions, which can provide...
Cornell’s Edwin Kan has developed a contact-free vital sign monitor using radio-frequency signals and microchip tags. Blood pressure, heart rate and breath rate are measured when radio waves bounce off the body and internal organs,...
Sensio by MediaTek is a biosensor that monitors heart rate, heart rate variability, blood pressure, peripheral oxygen saturation levels, ECG and PPG, from a smartphone, in 60 seconds. This could allow continuous monitoring with...
HeartFlow FFR uses data from a CT scan to create a 3D model of the coronary arteries and analyze the impact that blockages have on heart flow, to determine whether a stent is necessary....
AliveCor’s Kardia EKG band is the first medical accessory to receive FDA approval for use with the Apple Watch. Unlike the optical-based sensor built into the Apple Watch, EKG is considered the most accurate...
In a small study, Danilo Mandic from Imperial College London has shown that his hearable can be used to capture heart data. The device detected heart pulse by sensing the dilation and constriction of...
