| Slovak startup uses smart watch technology to identify heart failure |
| Bratislava, 27.05.2024 |
|
| When a weakened heart is unable to pump a sufficient amount of blood necessary for the body, lungs flood with blood, and there is pulmonary swelling. This results in a person suffocating, with their survival depending on whether an ambulance arrives in time.
But Allan Böhm and his team at Seerlinq say they can predict heart failure based on the data from the watches. The company uses what is called a PPG sensor, which most smart devices have, to pick up changes in the volume of blood vessels.
The startup is monitoring 30 patients with heart disease and their technology can warn them of impending heart failure several weeks in advance. According to Böhm, the same method could also be used in other health conditions.
