Bien hate de voir les co�ts associ� � ce bidule
Les faux positifs qu'il va engendrer
Le confort et la compliance des utilisateurs
Et la capacit� de cibl� assez largement les victimes potentielles

Reste que dans le chronos de l'ACR
C'est le plus gros bout qui rest(ait) � combl�

It's called the vital positioning system (VPS) -- a portable wireless
system that can detect a heart attack before it happens and alert
emergency services to where you are.

It consists of a belt worn around the chest, which is hooked to
either a cell phone or palm pilot with global positioning technology.

The belt tracks electrical activity of the heart. When it picks up
irregular activity, it sends a digital signal to emergency services.

A heart attack happens when a piece of plaque breaks away and
completely obstructs blood flow in the affected artery. This triggers
specific electrical changes that occur a few minutes ahead of
symptoms or signs of trouble. 

That's what the system detects. So, an ambulance could, technically,
be on its way to where you are as the heart attack is happening.

The device is recommended for high-risk patients. People who are
either waiting for or recovering from heart surgery. 

It's going to be a year before its available to the public.
