June 2010
An innovative online heart monitoring device – CardioTrace – has been announced by ADVANCED GLOBAL HEALTH to help ensure quicker detection of potentially life threatening conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

CardioTrace is a non-invasive clip that monitors the blood flow in the arteries to identify fitness levels and abnormalities. The monitor is attached to a patient’s finger and connected to a computer by a USB connector. The technology then measures the speed of the blood travelling through the larger arteries for 90 seconds, calculating the Arterial Stiffness Index, before comparing the reading against normal data collected from all ages and ethnicities. The device offers the possibility for mass screening of populations at a low cost, with medically accepted accuracy and correlation.
