A seventy-three-year-old Canadian man is the first person to receive Medtronic’s revolutionary heart monitoring device.The device has wires that extend throughout the body to different veins and also directly to the heart.
Remarkably, it then sends vital information about the patient to the doctor via a transmitter then downloads the information into the hospital database.The patient no long has to sit through long rides to the hospital, or even longer waiting periods.He can, in a sense, check in with the doctor from home.
The patient only needs to come to the hospital for issues that cannot be fixed remotely.There is a little concern about the device though.It can malfunction and send the wrong signals at anytime.Many of the Medtronic defibrillators that are currently on the market has this problem.
