Non-Invasive Cardiac Procedures

Non-invasive tests don't involve inserting needles, instruments or fluids into the body.

These are three types of non-invasive procedures: cardiac rehabilitation, exercise with

monitor, and vital signs monitoring.

Cardiac Rehabilitation is a medically supervised program that helps

improve the health and well-being of people who have heart problems. Rehab programs include exercise training, education

on heart healthy living, and counseling to reduce stress and help you return to an active life.

Cardiac rehab helps people who have heart problems:

Recover after a heart attack or heart surgery.

Prevent future hospital stays, heart problems, and death related to heart problems.

Address risk factors that lead to coronary heart disease (also called

coronary artery disease) and other heart problems. These risk factors include high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, overweight or

obesity, diabetes , smoking, lack of physical activity, and depression and other emotional health concerns.

Adopt healthy lifestyle changes. These changes may include a heart

healthy diet, increased physical activity, and learning how to manage stress.

Improve their health and quality of life.

Each patient will have a program that's designed to meet his or her needs.

Vital Signs monitoring

Wearable sensors to sense and record vital signs into an electronic patient record database. This dramatically improves the current time-consuming process of manually recording vital signs onto hardcopy pre-hospital care reports and then converting the reports into electronic formats.

Pre- hospital patients care software with algorithms to continuously monitor patients’ vital signs and alert the first responders of critical changes.

A secure web portal that allows authenticated users to collaborate and share real-time patients information

When the patient is first triaged, the medic straps the mote wristband on the patients, places the finger sensor on the patients’ finger, and set the electronic triage tag to the patient’s triage category. The blood pressure sensor is an optional module, and the medic put it on select patients who need the additional level of monitoring. The mote automatically starts transmitting data to the medic’s tablet PC. The PC is harnessed to the first responder in a weatherproof and anti-glare casing.
