Smartheart Turns Your Mobile Phone Into A Heart Monitor

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. As this is the case, there are many of us in the U.S. -- and across the globe -- who have had heart disease or cardiac illnesses affect our lives in many unpleasant ways. Today, thanks to advances in modern technology, we are beginning to see services, devices, and applications that may one day prevent heart attacks and heart-related conditions (currently, 1 American has a heart attack every 34 seconds). SHL Telemedicine, which is bringing personalized health care to mobile, announced today at Disrupt NYC a new medical gadget called "smartheart". Smartheart is a lightweight personal electrocardiogram (or ECG) that allows you to monitor your heart in realtime.
