The "smart watch" by iBeat Heart Watch, which will save lives in emergency situations, is on sale. The cost of the device is $ 250.
Three years ago, Ryan Howard's childhood friend suddenly died in a dream. It was this case that instilled fear in Howard's head. He began to look for something that could cause help in the event of a sudden stop of breathing or a heart attack at night. Alas, he did not find anything really suitable. He had to think about creating his own device. The idea of the device is that it looks like an ordinary watch, but it can save your life in an emergency situation. To do this, 100 times a second, the clock collects information about your heartbeat. Information is processed by artificial intelligence. As soon as something abnormal is detected, the clock will warn the user. If the user confirms problems with well-being or does not react within 10 seconds, the clock will call the ambulance service and will alert your loved ones.
In addition, the watch is equipped with a SOS button. It can be clicked in those cases, if you need emergency help, you fell, you can not move or you are in danger. The watch is equipped with GPS and connection to a cellular network. In addition, they connect to the smartphone via Bluetooth. In the application on your smartphone you can set a history of your illness and other important information that will be passed on to the paramedics if necessary.
It is important to note that according to iBeat, if you have heart problems, help can be helpful if it arrives within five minutes. It's very difficult to arrive for such an ambulance. It is for this reason that the company will launch the mobile application Heart Heart next month. It will notify the nearest person of what he can do for the owner of a watch that needs urgent help.
