2023: Product Announcement
The first heart monitor connected to a smartphone in Russia has been created, which monitors the work of the heart 24/7. This was announced in early August 2023 in the press service of the Platform of the National Technological Initiative (NTI).
We are talking about the development of specialists from the Saratov State Technical University and the Institute of Problems of Precision Mechanics and Control of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This device helps to detect abnormalities in the heart and reduce the likelihood of a heart attack.
The small size of the device, which allows you to wear it almost permanently, as well as the ability to function without connecting to a smartphone, make the development unique and unparalleled on the Russian market. Artificial intelligence in the device itself performs predictive analysis, while maintaining the ability to conduct retrospective analysis, the NTI Platform said. |
The main part of it is a small container that can be attached to the belt, and four sensors that attach to the body. The developers used titanium, a hypoallergenic material, for sensors, unlike traditional gel and rubber electrodes. This allows a person to go about their business while the device continuously monitors the ECG. As soon as signs of a problem appear, it instantly gives a signal in a light and sound message.
According to the developers, the device received artificial intelligence algorithms that analyze data and can predict possible problems, and also stores information for more detailed analysis. Scientists plan to create an algorithm that can, according to the accumulated data, predict the deterioration of the heart and warn about future risks.
The development participates in the accelerator (program of accelerated development of projects) as part of the design and educational intensive "Archipelago."[1]
