The personal EKG and the dawn of life-saving medical devices in your pocket

  • Summary

  • This episode marks the end of season one of Game Changers in Medicine, and we felt there was no better way to wrap up the show than interviewing a modern-day game changer. In this episode, you’ll hear directly from Dr. David Albert, inventor of AliveCor’s KardiaMobile, the personal EKG. Small enough to fit in a pocket, this game-changing medical device pairs with any smartphone to capture a medical-grade EKG in 30 seconds. Now, patients can monitor their heart health as often as necessary and directly transmit the results to their doctor. This device is just the beginning of medical technologies that increasingly give patients power over their own healthcare. Hear Game Changers in Medicine host and medical futurist Dr. Rubin Pillay and Dr. Albert discuss the twists and turns of the development of KardiaMobile, and hear Dr. Albert’s predictions about where we’re likely to see game-changing medical technologies of the future.
