These tests are designed to observe and report on an individual’s Blood Pressure, Blood Oxygen saturation level, Heart rate, heart rhythm and electrical activity by way of portable ECG and Body Temperature.
Raised blood pressure throughout its range is the most significant cause of death and disability in the world (Lopez et al. 2006). Accurate blood pressure measurement is therefore vital in the prevention and treatment of blood-pressure–related diseases.
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple test that can be used to check your heart’s rhythm and electrical activity.
Sensors attached to the skin are used to detect the electrical signals produced by your heart each time it beats.
Our equipment is designed to detect Anomalies in your hearts rhythm such as:
Arrhythmia (Irregular heartbeat
Heart Pause (3 seconds or more without atrial activity)
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) (irregular and often fast heartbeat.)
Tachycardia and Bradycardia (Fast/Slow Heart rate)
Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC) (extra heartbeats that begin in one of the heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles), These extra beats disrupt the regular heart rhythm, sometimes causing a sensation of a fluttering or a skipped beat in the chest)
Monitoring your resting heart rate is important because it can help provide clues about your overall heart health. For instance, a consistently high resting heart rate can be a sign that your heart isn't working as efficiently as it could be.
A normal heart rate is usually stated as 60 to 100 beats per minute. Slower than 60 is bradycardia ("slow heart"); faster than 100 is tachycardia ("fast heart"). But some experts believe that an ideal resting heart rate is closer to 50 to 70. Regardless of what is considered normal, it's important to recognize that a healthy heart rate will vary depending on the situation.
Oxygen saturation is a crucial measure of how well the lungs are working. When we breathe in air, our lungs transmit oxygen into tiny blood vessels called capillaries. In turn, these capillaries send oxygen-rich blood to the heart, which then pumps it through arteries to the rest of the body.
Our organs need a constant supply of oxygen to work properly. When the capacity of the lungs to transport oxygen into the blood is impaired, blood oxygen saturation declines, potentially putting our organs in danger.
Body temperature reflects the body making heat to stay warm or reducing heat to cool off. It is a quick and easy way to tell what’s going on inside your body1. Unlike varying outside temperatures, the body works hard to maintain its temperature within a safe, narrow range. Your body temperature can signal if something is slightly off or is majorly wrong.
