Hello people, in this article, I will be shedding more light on HeartBit, you can read up my introductory article on this project here to get abreast of what the project is all about, but in case you have no time to go through that, don't worri, read on...I believe you will get the full gist in this article.
This article will mainly highlight the essential features of HeartBit device in a summarized manner and also contrast it with other fitness wearable products available in the market today that are also used in monitoring heart conditions.
Brief Overview of HeartBit
HeartBit is simply a device that can be used to monitor ECG (Electrocardiogram) signals during any physical activity that an individual normal engage in, these activity could be during sleeping, resting, exercising, recovery from illness, etc.
As you can see from the above, HeartBit can be incorporated into everyday life of virtually every individual in order to have accurate analysis of their heart condition which will not only minimize the cost of visiting medical centers to be running these check ups but will also help in maintaining good and healthy heart condition thereby preventing Cardiovascular Disease(s) (CVD).
According to wikipedia, Cardiovascular Disease is a class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels. Example of such disease are heart attack, stroke, heart failure, hypertensive heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, heart arrhythmia, etc.
Report has shown that some of these CVDs mentioned above are the number one cause of most deaths globally, Killing 17.7 million people yearly. With this horrific tragedy in mind, HeartBit was invented to help reduce the death rates caused by heart related diseases by offering a device which could help people to run ECG tests anytime and any where without going to a hospital, also with HeartBit device, people will tend to understand their body very well whenever it is undergoing any physical activity such as during exercises thereby helping people to know the best workout plan and routines that suit their body system.
HeartBit has a technology that could detect and alert its user when his or her heart's cardiac status reaches an unstable level during any physical activity, this can help a lot during exercises and prevent cardiac arrest.
Features of HeartBit Device
HeartBit has logs of features of which are detailed on their whitepaper, I will highlight a few of them in this section of the article;
HeartBit utilizes machine learning and Artificial intelligence technology powered by IBM, with this technology, HeartBit can accurately determine the conditions that define the highest point of a user's physical performance by learning and analyzing how their body reacts to physical activities under various circumstances.
HeartBit also uses IBM's security and storage standard, this assures the privacy and safety of users data that the device collects. This means that the data of the user can never be sold to any one, the users will reserve the right of sharing these data to whomever they wish to share it with.
HeartBit uses the combination of hardware and software solution to separate noise interference gotten from the environments, the muscles with the valuable inputs gotten from the heart, this feature makes HeartBit's data signal more accurate and reliable than most other wearable devices available.
HeartBit also has a progress tracking feature that can be used mostly for workouts, this can help athletes or individuals to know when they are reaching their targeted fitness goals while keeping their cardiac safety in check at all times.
HeartBit also has a very unique feature that can timely detect and alert its users of an unstable cardiac status of their heart under a certain circumstance or during any physical activity.
Why HeartBit Device
Most of the fitness wearable devices on the market monitors just pulse rates of the heart, most others that I have also come across just measures the user's heartbeats per second, while some others just measures the number of calories burned during exercise, all these features of the current wearable devices are mostly geared only towards giving their users information on how to improve their physical condition or workout routines.
Whereas HeartBit device offers a thorough ECG tests during any of the user's activity, the analysis that is obtainable by HeartBit device is exactly and more with the ones that are done in hospitals with most medical devices that hospitals use in running ECG tests.
HeartBit offers more advantage as it relays real-time signals of the heart status and through the help of blockchain technology, these data analysis are stored securely over blockchain distributed ledgers and these data could be shared in real time with the user's health care providers and his or her insurance providers.
In conclusion, HeartBit is indeed a revolution in the fitness wearable industry, this article is just a highlight of some of the features about HeartBit, you can read further to know more about HeartBit project and its ICO that is ongoing by visiting any of the links below.
