Russian science makes smart heart rate counters
This new device can be used continuously. Users need to wear it on their arms, like a watch to make sure they fit into the artery.
A group of scientists in Tomsk City, Russia, along with doctors of Tomsk Heart Institute are completing the creation of a unique heart rate counter, in the hope that this machine will become a powerful support device for those people with cardiovascular disease.
This new device can be used continuously. Users need to wear it on their arms, like a watch to make sure they fit into the artery.
On the front of the device there is an information display that displays the heart rate, blood pressure, and heart condition indicators. Inside the device has special noise filtering sensors to give accurate results.
Scientist Dmitry Medvedev, of Tomsk University, said the team aims to make a blood pressure monitor without the need to pump blood when measuring blood pressure, making the device smaller and lighter.
In addition, the new device works similarly to mobile phones. In an emergency, it sends an emergency message to relatives and doctors and automatically calls an ambulance, if the patient's condition is dangerous.
The discovery may be useful for heart patients and for health-conscious people.
In addition, the principle of operation of this device will not only be applied in medicine. Because human heart rate is also unique such as fingerprints, the device can store passwords for computer access or electronic unlocking.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. An estimated 17.5 million people die each year from cardiovascular diseases.
