What are the symptoms of cardiac arrest?

Cardiac arrest refers to the fact that the myocardium still has bioelectric activity without effective mechanical function, intermittent slow, very weak and incomplete “contraction”, and intermittent wide, deformed, low-amplitude QRS waves on the electrocardiogram groups, the frequency is mostly below 20 to 30 times per minute. At this time, the myocardium has no systolic and blood drainage function, no heart sounds can be heard during auscultation of the heart, and no pulsation of the peripheral arteries can be palpated.

Cardiac arrest refers to the pathological and physiological mechanism of cardiac arrest caused by the sudden termination of cardiac ejection function.

The clinical manifestations of cardiac arrest are:

1.The heart sounds disappear, the pulse cannot be felt, and the blood pressure cannot be measured;

2. Sudden loss of consciousness, twitching of the limbs, cardiac arrest for 5-10 seconds, the patient has syncope, cardiac arrest for 15-20 seconds, sudden loss of consciousness, generalized convulsions, and the patient is in a coma;

3. Intermittent breathing, sigh-like, and then stopped, mostly 20 to 30 seconds after arrest;

4.Coma in cardiac arrest patients, which occurs 30 seconds after cardiac arrest;

5. Mydriasis in cardiac arrest patients mostly occurs 30 to 60 seconds after cardiac arrest. After 1 to 2 minutes, the pupil is fixed, and then various shades of reflex disappear.

Ventricular quiescence and cardiac arrest (or global asystole) need to be differentiated, with the following differences:

1. Ventricular quiescence occurs on the basis of high or third-degree atrioventricular block, while cardiac arrest occurs in various fatal arrhythmias, various organic heart diseases, and the terminal and primary stages of various diseases. Sexual or secondary cardiac arrest, ventricular static, etc.

2. There are atrial P waves (or F wave) without atrioventricular junction area and ventricular QRS wave on the ventricular static ECG, and the cardiac arrest ECG is an isoelectric wire that lasts for more than 2.7s (a straight line).

3. At rest of the ventricle, there is atrial contraction without ventricular contraction. In cardiac arrest, the atrium and ventricle are not contracted. However, the common feature of both ventricular rest and cardiac arrest is that there is no electrical activity in the ventricle (without any QRS wave), and no mechanical contraction of the ventricle, which leads to the termination of blood circulation, so the two are compared. They are the most serious of the two types of asystole, and it has been argued that both are collectively referred to as cardiac arrest.

Cardiac arrest patients should eat appropriate diet, work and rest moderately, and feel comfortable; actively treat the primary disease and correct electrolyte imbalance, and use relevant drugs rationally.

Plus1Health has an ECG recorder, which supports single-lead, 3-lead, 6-lead, and 12-lead. It can monitor ECG, and can issue ECG in time, and give the doctor a reference for diagnosis and analysis.

What are the benefits of maintaining normal blood pressure?

In life, we often talk about maintaining good blood pressure, but most people do not know what effect a healthy blood pressure has on the human body. In fact, abnormal blood pressure has a great impact on the human body, so everyone must pay attention to abnormal changes in blood pressure in life. What are the benefits of normal blood pressure to the human body?

1. Reduce the risk of heart disease. Now more and more people die every year because of high blood pressure, and high blood pressure is inseparable from these diseases. Therefore, for the sake of personal health, we suggest that you control the changes in blood pressure in your life, not because of blood pressure sudden increase in the risk of stroke and other high-risk diseases.

2. Reduce heart function and kidney disease. Blood pressure is like air is everywhere for the internal organs. If there is a lack of normal blood supply, it will easily lead to the appearance of various diseases. Diseases of the central kidney are the most common.

3. Reduce arterial damage. One of the reasons for high blood pressure is arteriosclerosis or the accumulation of fat in blood vessels. Therefore, it is best for everyone to pay more attention to the maintenance of arteries in life. The best way to protect arteries is to stay away from high blood pressure.

4. Protect your eyes. The blood vessels in the eyes are very large, so when high blood pressure occurs, the pressure on the eyes will also increase. At this time, high blood pressure will become the number one killer that affects vision.

Finally, it is very meaningful to pay attention to the maintenance of blood pressure in life, so it is recommended that you do not cause high blood pressure to seriously affect your health due to temporary negligence.

Daily monitoring of heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen, sleep, and timely detection of body warning signals

Stress, staying up late, insomnia, irregular diet… Many young people are already in a sub-healthy state. In addition to the annual physical examination, the doctor in the hospital reminds you of the risk of disease, and daily monitoring of heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen, and sleep quality is also required.

1. Heart rate should be kept at 60 to 100 beats per minute at rest

Heart rate is the number of heartbeats per minute. The heart rate of a normal person in a resting state is 60 to 100 beats per minute, and the heart rate is too fast or too slow.

Generally speaking, in patients with bradycardia, the heartbeat is less than 60 beats per minute or even lower, which can easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the organs of the whole body,may be life-threatening. And the faster the heartbeat, the more dangerous the blood vessels. Because every beat of the heart will bring a pulse of blood flow and passive elastic relaxation and contraction of blood vessels, it is a shock to the arteries of the whole body. Under the action of various forces, the more the number of heartbeats, the greater the damage to the arteries, and the more prone to atherosclerosis and vascular endothelial damage.

2. Breathing rate, the breathing rate should generally be 16 to 20 beats per minute

Respiration rate expresses the milligrams (or microopens) of oxygen consumed or carbon dioxide released per gram of living tissue (fresh weight, dry weight, nitrogen content, etc.) per hour. The size of the respiration rate can reflect the strength of the metabolic activity of an organism. The respiratory rate is a very important vital sign of the human body. Generally, the respiratory rate of each of us should be 16 to 20 per minute. If it is abnormal, it is very likely that there are some problems in the body or even illness.

3. Blood oxygen, the normal blood oxygen saturation of the human body is above 95%

Blood oxygen refers to the oxygen in the blood. The normal blood oxygen saturation of the human body is above 95%. The higher the oxygen content in the blood, the better the metabolism of people, but too high will lead to the aging of cells in the body, and too low will cause insufficient oxygen supply to the body.

4. Blood pressure, the rhythm of blood pressure in normal healthy people is “two peaks and one valley”

Under normal circumstances, blood pressure does not exceed 140/90mmHg during the day and 120/80mmHg at night. The changes of blood pressure during the day and night are regular. The rhythm of blood pressure in normal healthy people is “two peaks and one valley”, that is, blood pressure fluctuates at a high level during the day, and gradually decreases from 8 pm to 2~3 pm at night. At the lowest point, blood pressure rises sharply in the early morning, and reaches the highest peak at 6-8 am, then the blood pressure continues to fluctuate at a high level, and the second peak occurs at 4-6 pm, and then gradually decreases. The greater the blood pressure fluctuation, the more serious the damage to the heart, brain, kidney and other organs.

5. Sleep quality, poor sleep can lead to neurasthenia, gastrointestinal diseases, endocrine disorders, etc.

Insufficient sleep and poor sleep quality will affect mood, irritability, depression and other negative emotions, and even induce neurasthenia; poor sleep can easily lead to gastrointestinal diseases, and gastrointestinal diseases can also make people sleep restless, stomach at night. If the intestinal tract is not rested, problems such as dysfunction and constipation will come; poor sleep can also lead to a series of negative physiological changes, such as sympathetic nervous excitation, activation of the stress system, and “increase of sebitol and adrenaline in the body”. Increased secretion of glucose hormones can also cause insulin resistance and increase blood sugar.

Plus1Health has the PLUS101 module. The PLUS101 module is a small module that can measure “ECG, blood oxygen, blood pressure, and heart rate” at the same time. It has built-in professional algorithms and open interface documents, which can quickly help customers develop products and applications that support “ECG, blood oxygen, blood pressure, heart rate” detect.

PLUS101 ECG, blood oxygen, blood pressure, heart rate modules are developed and designed by a professional medical device R&D team, and after rigorous testing, they can reach medical-grade technical indicators and pass the medical device registration license. It is widely used in smart ECG watches, ECG bracelets, blood oxygen watches, blood oxygen bracelets, smart health detection and other product solutions.

The ECG recorder realizes remote monitoring and can be used for individuals, elderly care institutions to prevent cardiovascular emergencies

In recent years, the incidence of cardiovascular disease has been on the rise. Due to its sudden nature, daily remote monitoring of the disease is particularly important. ECG remote monitoring has become an important aspect of the development of modern medical monitoring. Hypertension, diabetes and other patients are potential populations of cardiovascular disease. Currently, the mortality rate caused by cardiovascular disease in my country is as high as 40%. However, most cardiovascular patients have no obvious signs before the onset of the disease. When the sudden attack occurs, the patients have lost the time and opportunity for early treatment, and a large number of people with high risk of cardiovascular disease, due to the lack of convenient and effective heart health check services , leading to the onset of cardiovascular disease.

The ECG recorder integrates the functions of the current hospital ECG machine, Holter, remote monitoring and other commonly used equipment, and can achieve flexible applications in many fields such as home monitoring and in-hospital diagnosis. The operation is simple and convenient, and it can accurately record the ECG data of cardiac emergencies (providing professional ECG data), and can be carried and recorded at any time according to the actual needs of the patient, so as to provide the most practical protection for the heart. The product is compatible with other health management software as a supplement to the digital data of health records. The ECG data collected by the recorder can be directly printed on the printer, or stored and submitted to experts for analysis and consultation through the computer and the Internet network, which is convenient for doctors and patients to accurately understand the condition and course of the disease.

The ECG recorder can be connected to mobile phones and computers through various transmission methods such as bluetooth, GPRS, and USB cable for data transmission and transmission. During the period, the uploaded data can be provided to professional doctors for viewing and consultation, as well as ECG and diagnosis. The report is printed out through a common printer, and the patient’s ECG data can be used as a digital medical record file to establish an effective long-term tracking and testing service for the patient’s heart health.

ECG recorder is suitable for individuals, home users, physical examination centers, primary health care institutions, elderly apartments, community nursing homes, etc., various arrhythmias, partial ischemic heart disease, various cardiac conduction diseases, cardiac monitoring before and after surgery, drugs curative effect observation, routine monitoring and early warning of high-risk groups, health monitoring and early warning of sub-healthy people, cardiac monitoring and early warning of cadre health care, monitoring of critically ill patients during long- and short-distance transport, etc.

Long-term dynamic monitoring of ECG: sensing ,storage and AI, ECG recorder and solutions

ECG recorder suitable for early arrhythmia screening, chronic disease and daily ECG monitoring of postoperative patients has been launched. As long as you wear a thin and non-sensing ECG recorder on your chest, you can realize continuous collection of human ECG signals, providing screening for early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment of heart diseases such as atrial fibrillation, and timely corresponding intervention.

Relying on the company’s technical accumulation in time frequency and application fields for many years, combined with modern electronic information technology, the team has developed a remote closed-loop ECG monitoring system based on “user-end sensing , data transmission and storage , AI interpretation service”. The electrical recorder realizes long-term continuous dynamic monitoring of human ECG signals. The ECG data is processed by the AI interpretation platform to complete the ECG signal quality assessment, rapid positioning of abnormal ECG segments, detection of common arrhythmias, and heart rate variability. Sex analysis and other functions, form an ECG analysis report, make timely warnings for possible mutations, and provide important evidence for users when seeking medical treatment. As a medical-grade ECG monitoring product that is almost non-inductive, it is only the diameter of a watch and has no lead wires. Users can stick it with them wherever they go. Sleeping at night will not affect sleep, and it can also monitor ECG continuously when showering.

The main clinical application scenarios of long-term ECG monitoring are: (1) Detecting hidden and transient arrhythmias: occasional palpitation and palpitations. (2) Atrial fibrillation screening, follow-up after interventional surgery, follow-up, evaluation of curative effect, and adjustment of treatment plan. (3) Stroke/transient ischemic attack, high risk of stroke population. (4) Unexplained syncope. (5) Surveillance of high-risk groups and high-risk groups of cardiovascular disease. (6) Monitoring of special populations and sub-healthy populations.

The longer the ECG monitoring time, the higher the detection rate of arrhythmia. For transient and occasional arrhythmias, it is difficult to capture abnormal ECG segments on a one-time Holter monitor because of their short onset time and infrequent onset.

Stroke has become an important disease endangering the life and health of middle-aged and elderly people in my country, and 15%-40% of stroke patients are caused by atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is detected after 48 hours, so for stroke patients, ECG monitoring should be more than 48 hours. The etiological diagnosis of syncope is mainly confirmed by conventional electrocardiogram, 24-hour Holter and upright tilt test, but the diagnosis rate of syncope by the three methods is low, 39% for conventional ECG and 35% for upright tilt test. The detection rate of ECG for new-onset atrial fibrillation screening is 2%-5%, and the detection rate of Holter monitoring is 2%-6%, and the detection rate of atrial fibrillation is seriously underestimated.

Therefore, at least one week of detection time can better improve the detection rate of atrial fibrillation. New intelligent monitoring equipment with ECG monitoring function: Long-term ECG monitoring can be performed on patients after radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation, and whether atrial fibrillation has recurred can be assessed.

The value of long-term ECG monitoring: long monitoring time; high detection rate; high accuracy; early and timely. Application of long-term ECG monitoring: arrhythmia; atrial fibrillation; stroke, transient ischemic attack, unexplained syncope, monitoring of special populations.

How to reduce high blood pressure?

(1) Reasonable diet

If blood pressure rises, everyone should pay special attention to their eating habits, pay attention to regular rations, and avoid overeating or overeating. A variety of food with reasonable, not partial eclipse. To a low-salt diet, try to avoid foods which are high in salt. Eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin B and vitamin C, and eat more foods with antihypertensive effects, such as garlic, celery, shepherd’s purse, green beans, etc. And eat less animal fat and animal offal.

(2) Moderate exercise

Exercise is very effective in lowering blood pressure. Exercise can not only promote blood circulation, reduce cholesterol production, but also enhance the occurrence of muscle, bone and joint stiffness. Exercise can increase appetite, promote gastrointestinal motility, prevent constipation, and improve sleep. Have the habit of continuous exercise: It is best to do aerobic exercise to help. Aerobic exercise can lower blood pressure like weight loss, such as walking, jogging, tai chi, cycling and swimming are all aerobic exercises.

(3) Quit smoking and limit alcohol

Tobacco leaves contain nicotine, which stimulates the central nervous system and sympathetic nerves, increases the heart rate, and also causes the adrenal glands to release a large amount of catecholamines, which constricts the arterioles and increases blood pressure. And drinking a lot of alcohol is also harmful to nothing. Drinking a lot of high-concentration alcohol can lead to arteriosclerosis and aggravate high blood pressure.

(4) Psychological balance

If there is a lot of mental stress in life, the psychological manifestations are nervousness, irritability, and emotional instability, which will increase blood pressure. Therefore, when the psychological stress is high, it is a good way to choose to talk.

(5) Self-management

People should be responsible for themselves, their own bodies, and their families and friends. We have to stick to measuring blood pressure every day, and make a blood pressure plan for ourselves and stick to it consistently.

(6) Seek medical attention on time

If you have severe symptoms such as vertigo, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, hemiplegia, aphasia, disturbance of consciousness, difficulty breathing, and limb weakness, seek medical attention immediately. If the condition is critical, call the 120 emergency center.

What should be paid attention to in diet?

1. Three meals: If your blood pressure rises, you should pay attention to your three meals, and ensure that you have regular meals and small meals. And three meals to avoid eating high-calorie food, you can eat more black fungus or white fungus and fruit. Eat a light dinner as much as possible, because too much greasy food can induce stroke. It is necessary to mix meat and vegetables with a reasonable ratio and eat more whole grains.

2. Low salt: Strictly control the amount of salt you eat every day, and try to eat less pickled products, such as cured meat, pickles and other foods with high salt content.

3. High potassium: Foods rich in potassium enter the human body to counteract the blood pressure and blood vessel damage caused by sodium. You can eat more foods rich in potassium, such as mushrooms, black dates, almonds, walnuts, peanuts, etc.

4. Fruits and vegetables: The daily needs of the human body for B vitamins and vitamin C can be met by eating more fresh vegetables and fruits. Some people advocate that eating 1-2 apples a day is good for healthy fruits and can also supplement calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium.

5. Calcium supplement: If you find that your blood pressure has dropped, you can properly add some calcium, you can eat some calcium tablets or drink some milk.

6. Iron supplementation: Studies have found that when blood pressure is elevated, supplementing some iron elements can effectively lower blood pressure. When your blood pressure rises, you can eat more iron-rich foods, such as fungus.

7.Drinking water: When blood pressure rises, you can mix some tea properly, because tea has many benefits, it can soften blood vessels, make blood flow, and can effectively control blood pressure, long-term consumption of tea is good for the human body. However, drinking very strong tea is not recommended.

How to improve blood oxygen saturation?

It is easy for everyone to find that blood oxygen saturation is a key physiological reference indicator that reflects whether the respiratory and circulatory system functions in our body are normal. And low oxygen saturation is a very common symptom. Find out the cause and make the correct treatment, so that the body can slowly adjust.

So what should be done if the blood oxygen saturation is low?

1. Low blood oxygen saturation can actually relieve the condition through correct diet, but if the diet is unreasonable, it will aggravate the condition. You can eat more foods that contain a lot of iron, such as animal livers, kidneys and other animal offal. You can also eat more fresh vegetables, including kelp, day lily, spinach, celery, beans, they are all rich in high-quality iron. You can also eat more sour foods, such as sauerkraut and tomatoes. In addition, eating more vitamin C can promote the absorption of iron by the human body and the function of blood production.

2.If the situation is more serious, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time. Active treatment can be carried out by inhaling oxygen. The purpose is to effectively and quickly improve the partial pressure of arterial blood oxygen, blood oxygen saturation and oxygen content in our body. Timely treatment is low. Oxygenemia ensures the supply of oxygen to various organs and tissues in our body. Through oxygen therapy, hypoxia in the body can be quickly relieved. Therefore, for people with serious conditions, it is very necessary to receive oxygen therapy.

What should I pay attention to in terms of diet with low blood oxygen saturation?

1. First of all, if the blood oxygen saturation is low, be sure to avoid fried and greasy foods. Such as fritters, cream cakes, butter cookies, chocolate, etc., because these fried and greasy foods will increase moisture and heat in our body, which is not conducive to recovery.

2. People with low blood oxygen saturation should avoid eating foods with high vitamin ab content, such as black fungus. Do not eat foods rich in protein, fat, sugar, calcium, etc. These foods are not conducive to the current state of conditioning the body.

3. Low blood oxygen saturation, eat more foods rich in iron, including animal liver, animal kidney, animal heart, fresh kelp, soybean, fresh spinach, celery, rape flower, tomato, apricot , red dates, oranges, these are foods rich in iron, usually you can eat more appropriately.

4. If the blood oxygen saturation is low, you can eat more blood-enriching foods, such as red dates, longan meat, peanuts, red beans, red rice porridge, etc.

5. The blood oxygen saturation is low, and you should eat more acidic foods, such as tomatoes, sour bamboo shoots, boiled fish with pickled vegetables, sour jujubes, cold pickled cucumbers, etc., which can well promote the absorption of iron elements, and the curative effect will be better. obvious.

6.Low blood saturation, you can also eat foods rich in vitamin C. Eating more foods rich in vitamin C can effectively help the absorption of iron in the body, and can also help promote hematopoietic function to produce heme, so it is necessary to fully take vitamin C.

What are the factors that cause cardiac arrest? Know early, prevent early

Cardiac arrest is increasingly common and is often mistaken for a heart attack. In cardiac arrest, the heart stops working, slowing or preventing blood flow to the rest of the body. When the heart stops working, the lack of oxygen-rich blood can cause damage to the brain. Death or permanent brain damage can result if not treated immediately. Cardiac arrest can occur for several reasons, such as heart disease.

What can cause cardiac arrest?

1. Heart disease

A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked. While this is not yet a cardiac arrest, a heart attack can trigger cardiac disturbances that can lead to more severe symptoms than chest pain, dizziness, or cardiac arrest, which must not be ignored and should be sought immediate medical attention.

2. Arrhythmia

An irregular heart rhythm can cause the heartbeat to speed up or slow down, when the heart may not be able to send enough blood to all parts of the body. Sometimes an irregular heartbeat can be life-threatening and lead to cardiac arrest. Doctors often perform stress tests or echocardiograms on people with irregular heartbeats to find the cause. In most cases, medication can keep the condition under control.

3. Scar of the heart tissue

Hearts scarred or enlarged from previous heart attacks are prone to developing life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias that lead to cardiac arrest. The first six months after a heart attack is a high-risk period for cardiac arrest, especially in patients with atherosclerotic heart disease, which can be treated with medication or angioplasty.

4. Heat stroke

When heatstroke occurs, the body loses fluid and electrolytes at an alarming rate. Massive fluid loss can lead to hypovolemia and dangerously low blood pressure. Electrolyte imbalances in the body can lead to abnormal heart function, which can lead to cardiac arrest. In hot weather, staying hydrated, minimizing sun exposure, and doing little strenuous exercise can all help avoid heatstroke.

5. Drugs for heart disease

Taking medicines for heart disease carries the risk of arrhythmias and marked changes in the levels of potassium and magnesium in the blood. Heart medications contain diuretics, which are primarily used to remove toxins from the blood, but sometimes also remove important nutrients, such as potassium and magnesium. Doctors often warn patients about the side effects of these drugs to make sure they have more potassium and magnesium in their diet.

6. Difficulty breathing

A person in cardiac arrest may wheeze or be unable to breathe, and people in such distress should have their airway checked to make sure there are no obstructions blocking the airway.

How can cardiac arrest be prevented?

1. Lower blood pressure

High blood pressure has no obvious symptoms, but it can also be fatal. High blood pressure increases the burden on the heart, and if left untreated, high blood pressure can cause permanent damage to the circulatory system, increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiac arrest. One way to lower your blood pressure is to reduce your salt intake. If you have chronic high blood pressure, medication may be an option to lower your blood pressure.

2. Lower cholesterol

When there is too much cholesterol in the blood, cholesterol can stick to the walls of arteries, causing plaque. Arteries narrow from the buildup and can’t supply the heart with the oxygen it needs, which can lead to heart disease. Cholesterol levels can often be lowered through lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet and exercising, but for some people, high cholesterol levels are hereditary.

3. Regular inspection

You can reduce your risk of heart attack and cardiac arrest if you participate in regular checkups, including monitoring your blood pressure and getting blood tests. For people who have had a heart attack or other types of heart disease, sticking to their medication, choosing a healthy diet, and exercising can all help reduce the risk of cardiac arrest.

ECG watch – a good helper for atrial fibrillation checking

Atrial fibrillation, a common cardiovascular disease, can lead to persistent cardiac arrhythmias. According to relevant statistics, the prevalence rate of atrial fibrillation in my country is 1.6%, and the estimated number of patients is 20 million, and the number of new patients is still increasing. The risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation is five times that of normal people, and the various hazards caused by it seriously threaten people’s lives and health.

However, the symptoms of early onset of atrial fibrillation are not obvious, and it is not easy to be detected by patients and difficult to prevent. For example, palpitations, dizziness, chest tightness, and fatigue are common symptoms of patients with atrial fibrillation, but some patients with atrial fibrillation do not have any symptoms. The symptoms of atrial fibrillation vary significantly according to the frequency and duration of the attack. Experts recommend regular ECG physical examinations every year. If there is any abnormality, further 24-hour dynamic ECG examinations are recommended. However, due to the insidiousness of the early symptoms of atrial fibrillation, the electrocardiogram does not necessarily show abnormality during the physical examination. In daily life, most people will not catch heart abnormalities.

Then, in the context of the development of mobile Internet + medical health, mobile medical, smart medical and other technologies, there will be better solutions for the prevention and management of chronic diseases such as atrial fibrillation. Smart wearables are smart devices that can be in close contact with users 24 hours a day, helping users to understand their physical state without interruption.

As a smart wearable device worn on the wrist for a long time, a smart watch is a perfect sensor carrier. Different from a single heart rate monitoring, ECG acquisition is more comprehensive and powerful, and the ECG analysis results can be displayed on the watch in a timely and intuitive manner.

Of course, the ability of smartwatches in health management is not only ECG. With the new heart rate monitoring technology and long battery life as the core, it also supports all-weather heart rate monitoring, continuous blood oxygen monitoring, scientific sleep monitoring, stress monitoring and other functions to fully meet the needs of users for active health management.

To prevent atrial fibrillation, you should maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid staying up late, drinking a lot, working hard, and being impatient. But if you want to develop good living habits, you need not only self-discipline but also external reminders.

In addition, users can also check the health status of their family members through the terminal applet. No matter how far or near the space is, you can know the health data of your family at any time. If there is an abnormal situation, you will also receive a push reminder in time to protect the health of the whole family.

Plus1Health has the PLUS101 module. The PLUS101 module is a small module that can measure “ECG, blood oxygen, blood pressure, and heart rate” at the same time. It has built-in professional algorithms and open interface documents, which can quickly help customers develop and support “heart”. Products and applications for detection of electricity, blood oxygen, blood pressure, and heart rate.

PLUS101 ECG, blood oxygen, blood pressure, heart rate modules are developed and designed by a professional medical device R&D team, and after rigorous testing, they can reach medical-grade technical indicators and pass the medical device registration license. It is widely used in smart ECG watches, ECG bracelets, blood oxygen watches, blood oxygen bracelets, smart health detection and other product solutions.
