Heartbit, a wearable three-lead ECG heart monitoring device that athletes can wear during training, will debut next week at CES 2019. The company envisions its heart monitoring product to be significant value to both athletes and the healthcare industry.
The device uses a custom algorithm to detect and provide warning signals about the heart’s stress level during warmup, activity, and recovery post-workout. Equipped with BOSCH sensors and using IBM Watson machine learning technology, Heartbit claims the device is capable of analyzing a user’s activity patterns to warn of possible arrhythmia, ischemia, and other hidden heart diseases which could lead to sudden cardiac arrest or stroke.
