Mobile heartbeat recorder developed Jodhpur: Scientists and students at IIT Mumbai claim to have developed a unique mobile nano device that can record the heart beat of a person constantly for 12 hours.
"We have developed a silicon locket at IIT. It will record ECG for 12 hours in one change of battery. The standard mobile interface will help the user to send an SMS to the doctor about the latest ECG. This is going to help the patients immensely," Professor V. Ramgopal Rao of IIT Mumbai said. Professor Rao explained that it is a hand held device, can be carried by a patient at all times. Once fully charged the battery can record 12 hours of ECG, thus enabling doctors to diagnose the problem more precisely. Prof. Rao, who was in the city to deliver a keynote address at National Conference on Applications of nanotechnology, informed that this device would hit the market very soon. "This technology is cheap. It doesn't matter where you are."
