An innovative technology helps to prevent potential heart attacks. To do so, simply wear a t-shirt.
The future is here, in formats that we never thought possible, but thanks to extensive studies, the ingenuity and effort of some is possible to improve the quality of life. The vital Jacket (vj) is a shirt that can monitor the heart rate of patients with cardiovascular problems 24 hours a day. Picture an electrocardiogram machine the size of a chip inserted into a comfortable t-shirt that can be used in your day-to-day. The product, developed and marketed by a national company, includes a holster system that allows you to upgrade the cardiac patient records on a continuing basis, non-intrusive and in real-time. How? Through a Bluetooth transmitter that lets it view the results of this small scanner at your cardiologist office. That is, if the patient is in cardiac arrest the doctor immediately triggers the system of emergency to help the patient. Sounds like science fiction? But, I guarantee you it is not. There is also a version of this shirt for premature babies and teenager, as is public knowledge, is often difficult to keep children quiet and comfortable as they proceed to a routine screening, the anguish of that moment disappears completely with the use of the Kids version. Not only is less evasive, and allows you to keep a detailed record of the heartbeats of children as they develop their daily activities. Biodevices maintains a fruitful partnership with Petratex, a textile company, a leader in new technologies for the creation of fabrics, which was crucial in the manufacture of shirts. The Institute of Cardiology of the North is another partner in this innovative project, through development of new clinical applications for vj in cardiovascular medicine.
