Handheld ECG A new step in Home care
2006
Background on health management
FACTS:
• High “medicare” cost and lower government coverage are the major trend now.
• Ageing population in advanced economies show more occurrence of death threatening diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).
• Current health care system is complex, costly, inconvenient, passive (not active and not easy in implementing preventive medicine)
• The need for a new model of high quality health care system that is simple, remote monitoring capability, self-manageable and affordable.
2006
Current Status - Taiwan
• Currently, government, research institutes and private organizations are supporting projects that are developing innovative
- Simple Home Use Medical Devices
- Remote Health Service System
- New Wellness Service Model
• The above projects leverage on the advanced IT, electronic and medical management experiences in Taiwan
• Creating a successful health & service model for implementation locally and internationally

Importance of Monitoring Heart Function
Problems:
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is the second leading cause of death in the world, right behind cancer.
There is no simple way to monitor heart function (ECG) easily except in hospital because traditional ECG require technicians to perform while Holters and event recorders are an inconvenience.
They are only recording for a short term. It is difficult for users to monitor their ECG for a long term because there is no home use ECG tool available.
Demands:
1) New device and tool to monitor ECG easily
2) Server System to collect data for long term wellness management
3) A more convenient medium for users and physicians to manage health condition
2006
Need
- Currently, blood pressure monitor, glucose meter, pulse oximeter are readily available by home users. However, the most important information of heart function lacked is electrocardiogram (ECG)
- The purpose of this project is to
1. Develop a medical device for users to record their ECG data easily, anywhere, anytime
2. Implement a workable health service model in the monitoring of heart function
3. Market of this new ECG device and model to health care providers
4. Implement active preventive medicine focusing on heart function and CVDs
2006
Purpose
Create a new health and wellness management system
- Focusing on Heart Function (Handheld ECG)
