How does it work?
Sensoria’s app monitors the heart rate like others by studying the electrodes in the apparel. The data provided is then analyzed by an algorithm and determines whether the cardiac condition is regular or irregular. The accelerometer present in iPhone is also used by the app to check if the person is moving or not. If both the answers are negative, then heart sentinel is activated. If the wearer fails to convey he is okay within ten seconds, then the app alerts the emergency contacts by providing the GPS location. Thus, the process undoubtedly plays an active role in helping someone out and saves life.
