Basic diagnostic equipment can be hard to access in poor regions of the world, preventing the saving of countless lives from easily treatable conditions. A new company, uber Diagnostics out of Bangalore, India, is hoping to offer its portable ECG device to medically under-served areas to allow just about anyone with basic training to record electrocardiograms.

The CardioTrack is a 3-lead ECG with recording and networking capabilities, designed to separate the tasks of taking an ECG and interpreting it between a trained clinician and a cardiologist. The device is used much like a regular ECG unit, but there is no screen or printer that provides the readout. Instead, the data is sent wirelessly to the “cloud” from where it can be viewed and analyzed remotely by a physician. Additionally, the device provides its own waveform analysis, and can issue a warning if it detects a signature of a cardiac condition. The company hopes to bring the cost of 3-lead ECG exams down to less than $0.50, helping save lives of people without disposable income.

CardioTrack provides ECG waveform in real-time for the medical practitioner to perform an assessment of the patient. In addition, it performs data analytics on the waveform to provide predictive diagnosis and identify possible healthcare concerns ahead of time. In case of NEMO, the new born monitoring takes place continuously and any alarms or early warning signs are immediately sent to healthcare professional for further action.
