Alivecor has developed an iPhone ECG system that utilizes its ECG app in conjunction with its proprietary iPhone case. The remarkable case has two electrode leads implanted within it. The inventor Dr. David Albert has stated that the device will reliably detect, analyze and produce clinical quality single lead ECGs. In coordination with the ECG app, the system has a QRS wave detector that will help identify any beat. Furthermore, the app has the capability to store and transmit a given rhythm wirelessly.
The ECG iPhone device and app will debut at this weekend's annual Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas. Currently the company is seeking approval for sale as a medical device in the United States and is not immediately available for purchase. Word is the iPhone ECG case and app will be priced right around $100.
