IBM Releases High-Tech Heart Monitor

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: TotalRecall

ARMONK, N.Y., December 17, 2002 ... IBM said today it has demonstrated a tiny device that measures heart rate and is able to sense when the person wearing it is in distress, then calls a cell phone for immediate help.

The "distress" signal is sent wirelessly via Bluetooth, a short-range, low-power radio technology that makes communication possible between personal digital assistants, laptop computers, printers and mobile phones — and now, for the first time, the heart rate device joins this list.
