Cardiologists ’ Dream Device? – The Withings BPM Core and the Viatom Armfit+ Joint Review
1 in 4 men and 1 in 5 women have hypertension worldwide, the WHO estimates. As for the most common arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation (AFib), it affects some 33.5 million individuals globally; with its prevalence expected to double by 2030. These cardiovascular conditions need regular monitoring so as to prevent severe complications. For instance, hypertension can lead to heart and kidney failure, while AFib can lead to stroke.
For long, monitoring these conditions relied on measurements taken from bulky devices available only in medical facilities; a sphygmomanometer (or blood pressure monitor) for hypertension and an E...

FDA Approvals For Smart Algorithms In Medicine In One Giant Infographic
Mental health algorithms
mimicking empathy? A.I. outsmarting human doctors? Simple big data analytical
software presented with clever marketing tactics? It’s difficult to assess the
actual state of play when it comes to artificial intelligence in healthcare. Moreover,
there’s no database that contains all the smart algorithms worth applying to
medical processes. That’s the reason why we decided to collect every artificial
intelligence-based algorithm that already received FDA approval – meaning that
they are proven, reliable, and accurate solutions enabled by an official
regulator for medical use. Let’s see the i...

Let ’s Put The Best To The Test: Our KardiaMobile6L Review
AliveCor is close to our hearts. Literally. David Albert, the co-founder of the company, started experimenting with handheld, wireless ECG devices in the late 90s.

In our eyes Kardia is the textbook example of technology shaping health care, empowering and supporting not only e-patients, but medical professionals as well. So, let’s take a look at their newest creation, the KardiaMobile6L!
