iPhone 4 to go medical

AliveCor claims to have finished creating a new peripheral device available for the iPhone 4 that will allow the user to measure, record and analyse electro-cardiographic data in order to asses a patient's heart electrical conductivity, reveals Examiner.

Although the prototype for the device has been developed and finished, the product won't hit stores until AliveCor is cleared by the FDA and has been tested in clinical trials.

This iPhone 4 device was created and engineered solely by Dr David Albert. He is the inventor of this medical device in which he used highly innovative but simple biomedical engineering solutions to transform a widely popular product such as the iPhone into a revolutionary lightweight and affordable medical device.
