Brazilian scientists developed the first intelligent
portable heart monitor in the world, which allows the
remote sending of electrocardiograms, the location
of the patient for relief and early detection of heart
5 problems.
The monitor can detect irregularities without
symptoms that normally could not be felt, causing a
reduction of concern in patients if they suffer a crisis
away from a doctor. It not only measures the heart rate,
10 but also achieves search and make the assessment of
rhythm and alterations.
Also, this device can also identify early-stage
myocardial and rare arrhythmia syndromes. It consists
of a unit slightly larger than a mobile phone that the
15 patient wears around the waist and connected to four
electrodes that are placed on the chest.
The machine, which should reach the market
this year with the name of Nexcor, monitors heart
problems remotely and in real time, through which
20 electrocardiograms will be sent to a central control.
Also it counts with a communicator that allows the
patient to talk to an expert immediately if he doesn’t
feel well.
