Iranian scientist with the help of his colleagues made a smart watch to diagnose heart disease

Iranian scientist Hamid Ghanbari from the University of Michigan, with the help of his colleagues, invented a new smart watch that can detect diseases such as atrial fibrillation by constantly monitoring the heart.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, smart watches are currently one of the most important tools for monitoring health around the world. The new smart watch can tell its user whether he has atrial fibrillation or not. This disease is associated with an irregular heartbeat and increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Mohammad Ghanbari, an Iranian electrophysiologist at the Frankel Heart and Vascular Center at the University of Michigan, has said: Currently, there is a tsunami of healthy patients who have had false positive results for this disease. Also, it has not been possible to use these devices clinically.

To close the clinical gap, this research group created a kind of smart wristwatch that can continuously monitor the heart rate of a person. Also, the special algorithm of this watch can diagnose atrial fibrillation disease. This watch called Verily study watch was highly accurate in diagnosing this disease on the participants.

Ghanbari says in this regard: EKG is the only tool for managing this disease in people. But in the future, this disease can be fully monitored using a smart watch. By sending light pulses into the veins through the skin, this watch will be able to detect subtle changes in heart rate. If the watch detects this disease, it asks users to take a single-channel ECG. In this case, you can make sure that the algorithm has correctly diagnosed the disease or not.
