As far as real transactions, they’ve got a way to go. Just releasing NFT support a few months ago.
Additionally EKG’s puts leads all over your chest to get precise electrical measurements. A watch on your wrist isn’t going to be comparable, esp with things like sudden cardiac death. This article takes it even further as you need detailed imaging to really save these types of patients. Since we don’t yet know many of the underlying genetic variants or causes of sudden cardiac death. It’s more common than people realize and often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosis because it’s hard to detect until too late.
Source: Multiple people in my family have died from sudden cardiac death. All with perfectly normal EKG’s before they passed.
Our two daughters both have unknown heart variants and one of them is on a beta blocker for life since the age of 1 to avoid sudden cardiac episodes. She’s also forbidden to drink stimulants or play certain sports for risk of heart episodes. She looks completely healthy and normal and wants to play as intense as other kids.
This tech could mean that my children don’t have to face the same decision as their elders having to decide between dangerous and expensive surgeries for an unknown risk or living your life in fear.
I can’t tell you how huge this is for us if regular checkups would be enough to say, yes go live and play, enjoy your life. Things look good.
