It is anticipated a person with a history of heart disease will now have the ability to consult quickly and effectively with his or her physician. The technology is now at hand to record your own heart readings at home, beam the results via IrDA, using the ACT-IR220L+, to a PC, completing the health-cycle by emailing the results to a doctor for clear analysis. The manufacturers of the "heart-pen" are receiving a great deal of interest from insurance agencies around the world. The expense of a hospital visit is reduced, possibly even removed; the psychological effects of having oneself connected electronically to an imposing piece of medical machinery are removed. The benefits this new unit can provide are heart warming. The "heart-pen" with its integral use of IrDA innovations is truly breaking frontiers within medicine. |  |  | | |  |  | |
