Hi people, here is another intro of another wonderful blockchian project called HeartBit
Research has shown that most people die due to heart related issues, in fact according to CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in https://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/facts.htm) about 610,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year–that’s 1 in every 4 deaths.
You can imagine if such huge number of deaths is recorded annually in a nation like US despite its medical technological advancement, what then will be seen if one further carries out research on other countries with low medical technological advancement like we have in most African countries. Hmmm, that's so disheartening I must say, but be it as it may, public sensitization and creation of awareness shouldn't be stopped with a view to educating people on the general need and importance of going for medical heart check ups frequently in order to ascertain that their heart is always in good condition.
But even though that frequent medical check up is the best way to maintain a healthy heart and reduce the deaths caused by heart issues, people still find it difficult to spare some time or a day to go for check up mostly due to their busy schedule, they wait till they have heart crisis or one issue or the other relating to their heart before visiting a medical practitioner, in fact most people don't know how their heart reacts to some frequent activities that they engage in on daily basis like exercising, resting, sleeping, etc. Honestly I believe this to be the major reason why the death rate caused by heart related issues keep increasing yearly, with this challenge a blockchain company has come up with an awesome device that can be used to perform an Electrocardiogram test (ECG test) any where, any time, the device is known as HeartBit.
Right now, I know most of you are lost at the big word (Electrocardiogram)...lets get abreast of the meaning of the medical terminology first before we know about HeartBit, read on and enjoy the rest of the content...
What is Electrocardiogram
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is simply a test which measures the electrical activity of the heart to show whether or not it is working normally.
Normally, this tests is being carried out only in the hospitals, thereby still posing such issues of people having to go to the hospitals which most people find difficult doing on a normal excepts when they start noticing symptoms, but the truth is that most heart issues can be avoided on time if people have a way to be able to do this ECG tests themselves while they are doing their daily activities and even be able to send the data gotten from the analysis to their heart care providers and insurance providers and this can be done using this device called HeartBit.
Lets discuss how HeartBit tends to make this possible using blockchain technology...
HeartBit device as a State of the art Electrocardiography technology which is empowered by blockchain uses 3 lead bipolar Electrocardiography system that can be integrated into the user's training tops and with the presence of this on the user's body while engaging in any physical activity, a complete ECG monitoring is been recorded and stored securely over distributed ledgers of the blockchain network
The most interesting thing about this HeartBit device is that it has a wireless compact-measurement device that provides a clinical standard of heart analysis, this analysis can be read and understood by any individual and not just a medical expert and also it could alert the wearer when his or her heart cardiac status reaches an unstable level during any physical activity like during exercise, etc, wow!! this is so awesome, i can't wait to get one.
In order not to bore you with a long article, I have to stop here, but in a latter article, I would dive deep into explaining the features of using HeartBit device over most conventional Heart monitoring devices that are present as at now, believe me this product is a revolution in this industry, in my next post on this project, you are going to know why.
Meanwhile the short video clip above summarized the project, but you can check on the links below to know more about this project and its ICO that is ongoing right Now, thanks for reading.
