What happens with your heart (too often) stays with your heart. That’s especially true with arrythmias, or abnormal heart rhythms, both too fast and too slow. Their irregular nature can make them near impossible to detect at a regular visit to the doctor. It would take some luck rarely seen, even in Vegas.
But like a city that never sleeps, Confirm Rx ICM is always on and can report back when your heart’s rhythm goes astray.
Here’s Avi Fischer, our Chief Medical Officer for Cardiac Rhythm Management, explaining how it works on the floor of CES 2020 Health & Wellness Marketplace.
“What Confirm Rx has done is it is very user friendly in that it’s a small device, about the size of a paper clip. It’s inserted under the skin. The individual doesn’t really need to do anything other than carry on with their daily activities,” Fischer said.
And that’s when the watchful eye in the sky goes to work.
“We’ve built in the ability for this device to be able to communicate using Bluetooth® to a smart phone — and just about everybody nowadays has a smart phone,” he said. “We’ve linked it to a monitor that monitors the heart beat 24 hours a day for up to two years. And we’re able to now detect arrythmias that in the past may have gone undetected.”
It’s heart monitoring, everywhere you go:
