What if doctors work (more / better) in another way, could relieve the health care system? At Rush University Medical Center are conducting a long-term project to test the effectiveness of virtual assistance and coordinated between different medical specialists for chronic patients. The pilot is to combine (via Internet, telephone, fax) to physicians, pharmacists, social workers and other health professionals to coordinate care for chronic patients.

The results after two years indicate that these patients make fewer trips to the emergency room and improve the medication habits, to better understand how and what they are for drugs that are prescribed.

It is increasingly frequent in our homes the presence of medical devices, such as Blood pressure monitors, or the meters of glucose in the case of diabetics. Following this line of products, is the ReadMyHeart 100, a cardiac monitor portable manufactured by Daily Care Biomedical, which allows us to make an electrocardiogram anywhere?

Its operation is very simple. Once lit, put both thumbs on the pads, and we hope 25 seconds for the monitor capture the electrical activity in our hearts. In the case of being unable to use your fingers, the device comes with 2 cables with electrodes to the place in the forearms. After the 25 seconds, the screen shows us our heart rhythm, and the values of ST segment and the QRS complex electrocardiogram. If the device senses a problem with these values, warns us to go immediately to a doctor.

The appliance stocks the last 30 readings. If we want to keep the readings, the ReadMyHeart 100 comes with a USB cable and a program that we can install in our PC to be stored and able to print the readings and graphic.

As always so recommend, consult with your doctor before acquiring one of these devices.
