The sleek iBeat heart monitor does more than monitor your health—it could save your life.
The iBeat watch is equipped with sensors able to monitor the wearer’s heart rate and send the data to the cloud, as well as alert the wearer to any changes in condition. If the iBeat detects any erratic heart behavior, it will engage the wearer by asking them to respond to a prompt as to how they are feeling. If the wearer does not respond within five seconds, the iBeat team will call the user, and then send out emergency vehicles. The system is fully self-contained, and does not need to be paired with a smartphone to work.
Creator and CEO Ryan Howard was inspired to create the device after a friend passed away in his sleep at only 40 years old.
