Researchers have developed a non-invasive, reusable ‘ECG vest’ that takes high-resolution images of the heart’s electrical activity in five minutes. Combining its data with cardiac MRI scans can better identify people at risk of future heart problems a… Continue reading ‘ECG vest’ provides high-res heart images that may predict future risk
Researchers have developed an ultrathin, waterproof, gel-free ECG electrode for continuous heart monitoring that offers greater comfort – and less skin irritation – than current devices on the market, while still precisely measuring the heart’s electri… Continue reading Novel gel-free, waterproof ECG electrodes could be a game-changer
Of all the electrical signals generated by the human body, those coming from the heart are probably the most familiar to the average person. And because it’s also quite simple …read more Continue reading Card/IO is a Credit Card-Sized, Open Source ECG Monitor
As if Mondays weren’t bad enough: the weekend’s over, and, for many of us, it’s back to work. Now, according to research presented at this year’s British Cardiovascular Society Conference, the most life-threatening type of heart attack is more likely t… Continue reading Most severe heart attacks are more likely on Monday, research shows
Researchers have developed a mobile, noninvasive, ultrathin, stretchable, battery-operated electronic tattoo that simultaneously measures the heart’s electrical and mechanical activity, offering a new method of diagnosing and monitoring heart disease.C… Continue reading New mobile e-tattoo better monitors heart, can help prevent heart disease
In a straight fight between a houseplant and a human, you might expect the plant to be at a significant disadvantage. So [David Bowen] has decided to even the odds …read more Continue reading (Mostly) Harmless Houseplant Wields Machete
A new algorithm developed by researchers at the Mayo Clinic can effectively detect patients with a dangerous heart dysfunction using data gathered by an Apple Watch. A large trial is now underway looking to test the clinical utility of the algorithm in… Continue reading AI algorithm detects asymptomatic heart disease from Apple Watch ECG data
The electrical signals emitted by the human body tell us a lot about what’s going on inside. But getting those signals inside your microcontroller is not straightforward: the voltages are …read more Continue reading Universal Bio-Electrical Signal Amplifier Makes Reading Body Signals Easy
European engineers have optimized a novel technology using temporary tattoo electrodes to record electroencephalography (EEG) brain activity. The technology is cheap, can be produced using an inkjet printer, and delivers EEG measurements as accurately … Continue reading Inkjet-printed tattoo electrodes deliver long-term EEG measurements
An abnormal heart rhythm known as atrial fibrillation is one of the leading causes of strokes, yet it’s also often symptomless, so it frequently goes undetected. An experimental new necklace, however, could make checking for it a quick and simple proce… Continue reading ECG-packin’ necklace made for fast and easy heart-checks
