CAREFREE HEART : a wearable ECG system for real-time heart monitoring

Abstract

To avoid frequent and expensive hospital visits, and to service patients with rapidly changing health states, we introduce CAREFREE HEART, a wearable ECG system that helps a non-medically trained individual monitor his or her heart condition instantaneously with clinical precision. This leads to early detection that dramatically reduces the incidence of fatal heart attacks. [2nd Award]
