Scale Monitors Heart Health

Sep-24-19 A bathroom scale able to accurately measure heart health through ECG and body motions could lead to an at-home way to monitor cardiac activity.

Designed for use by patients who have already suffered a heart attack, the device combines ECG technology with BCG technology—which monitors body motion with each heartbeat as an indicator of heart health. The device is inexpensive and can be easily used at home, with the patient simply standing on the scale while holding the ECG handles. Data can be shared with a remote physician, offering an early alert to the need to make changes in medication or other patient treatments.
