IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Conference in Minneapolis is a place where medical gadgets are unveiled for a discerning audience. IMEC unveiled a cool new prototype for a cardiac monitoring system which almost behaves like a Holter monitor.

It can be worn like a necklace and gives long term readings consistently to avoid any mishaps. These days, most people suffer from unhealthy cardiac muscles, and heart disease is way too common. A common reason for this could be rising stress and unhealthy lifestyles all of which lead to a certain state where the person’s heart just cannot take it any longer.

If this necklace is worn, there would be consistent reports as to how the person’s heart is functioning and if something should go wrong, immediate medical attention can be given. There is no information about its availability or price but it certainly is a great way to thwart fatal situations involving conditions of the human heart. I would say, keep your eyes peeled open for any news regarding this amazing gadget.
