World’s first medical smartphone

Another special interest story I came across that I wanted to share we aim to provide as much information to the families we service.

Israeli engineering is behind LifeWatch V, a phone that performs and analyzes a range of self-tests and generates medical reports.

Don’t have a stethoscope handy? A thermometer? A pedometer? You won’t need any of these devices to measure your heart rate, temperature and daily steps – plus many more health and fitness parameters – if you have LifeWatch V, the world’s first medical smartphone.
LifeWatch Technologies is the brains behind this breakthrough technology, an Android-based phone with embedded sensors to analyze everything from blood glucose levels to body fat percentage. The system can even let you do an at-home electrocardiogram (ECG) or measure your blood pressure with an attached sleeve.
Now in the process of regulatory approvals in Israel, Europe and the United States, LifeWatch V sends all the test data automatically and securely to a remote server in the cloud for analysis by the company’s proprietary algorithms. Results and trend data are quickly shared with the user and, if desired, with a third party (parent or healthcare provider, for example) via email or text message.
