What can one do with IDesia’s healthcare offering?
As IDesia utilizes standard Lead I ECG, much can be derived from the acquired signal. Heart rate is determined directly from the ECG R component and, under controlled conditions, can describe mood and stress level, and be used to calculate a physical health index. Heart rate changes associated with exercise can also index physical fitness. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a relatively new and exciting tool for describing heart and nervous system function, as well as users’ mental state. ECG itself is also obviously useful in characterizing the state of the heart, based on analysis of major components (QRST complex). While the current implementation of the IDesia system is not a registered medical device, the accuracy of its heart rate measurements typically exceeds that of other consumer systems. IDesia’s ECG records are in the process of certification for medical monitoring applications.
