Two years
have passed
since we showed a prototype of a gadget fully assembled in the Russian Federation. At that time, the manufacturer promised to perform several specific actions to improve the product, and, in general, we can say that the time has come to see what has changed.

ECG dongle should:
Change design -
done')

The serial gadget is all the same flash drive, of course. However, now it is in a different case, transparent, green. Inside the chips are peeped.

The complete set includes the device itself, a set of electrodes, an OTG adapter for Android smartphones.

The principle of operation remained unchanged: electrodes to the wires, wires to the microUSB connector on the back of the gadget, OTG to the smartphone.

Electrodes - sticky, but reusable. However, you can also
buy them separately.

Each wire has its own color marking is not accidental: it is necessary to connect according to the
instructions .

True, logically, it would be possible to "mirror":
Work with iOS -
doneFor a long time, the device worked only with
Android . Everything was simple and fast here, the results were formed in the memory of the smartphone by reference.


From here they could be sent to a doctor in a special service. In general, everything was more or less simple and clear. For some time, the application appeared
in the AppStore . Here we will stop in more detail.
Firstly, to work with a USB flash drive on the IOS on the official site, it is recommended to use a special adapter, the cost of which is comparable with the device.
In principle, cheap 250-ruble counterparts somehow cope, and they can be considered an alternative. But they cope once, sometimes they show a connection failure and “this accessory is not suitable for working with the Iphone”.
Secondly, the application is not localized. This does not greatly complicate the work, but so far - what is, that is. You cannot save data before the 30-second interval - the “DONE” button will light up at the top.
After clicking on it, you need to fill in the data, indicating the email address:

Finally send data to the server.

If everything went well (it happens otherwise), then you will see the following message:

Do not be afraid - while you do not need to pay anything. You can remember the numbers, just in case, but you will receive a message with instructions on how to view the analysis.

The links you
get here , where there will be an automated description of the data.


And the ability to download a
PDF from ECG. If for some reason you deleted a letter with links, you can get the results yourself: you need to enter the
study number
here .
Medical certificate -
not done yetThe flash drive is still being sold as a “Biosignal Amplifier”, or more simply, an advanced heart rate monitor. The abbreviation "ECG" is removed from everywhere, but both on the box and on the results there are inscriptions that the device is not a product of medical equipment, and the data are not medical advice.

The process of obtaining RP is progressing slowly, and during this time, in fact, ambitions regarding the domestic market have declined: the device is sold in Asia and Africa, Pakistan and others. At the same time, it is still emphasized everywhere that ECG data are absolutely accurate, but somewhat incomplete due to the “truncated” number of leads.
The question of what the device shows is
raised in the comments . Then we were invited to answer their device developer -
isvirin , who stressed that this gadget successfully shows a violation of conductivity and heart rate. Can serve as a means of self-control.
Hold prices -
doneThe device was conceived as a cheap way to control the work of the heart at home. In this sense, everything is still the same: the gadget costs
about 3,500 rubles .
Product line development -
doneDespite the long-term project with the receipt of the certificate, the new product has entered a limited sale. This is a full-fledged mobile gadget with 12 leads. It turned out a little more in size. It is, of course, more expensive, and
ECGDongle Full and the
necessary electrodes are purchased
separately from each other !
Development of the service "Cardio-cloud" -
doneThe service was conceived as a platform for communication of patients and doctors. On the other side of the service with a cardiogram live people who manually analyze the data for 390 rubles / study.
Today the service is developing, it is possible to get a basic automated comment, you can order a service. Specialists are invited to cooperate.
As a resultThe miniature ECG-Dongle does not stand still: most of the declared promises have nevertheless been fulfilled. In any case, everything that depended on the team directly, managed to close. At the same time, what is important, keeping the
previous price tag .
Take care of yourself!
