The future is already here: The smart test that detects increased risk of stroke

Fear of consequences, neglect and laziness; These are just some of the reasons why many people choose not to perform screening tests - tests that are used as a tool for diagnosing illness early on. In many cases, these tests can save lives and prevent illnesses from occurring in the first place, especially if discovered early.

Shahal offers a screening test for elevated fibrillation - one of the most common causes of brain stroke in adults, which can result in impairment of independence, neurological disorders, permanent weakness, paralysis in some body, memory impairment and more.

Ascension fibrillation is a cardiac arrhythmia, manifested by an irregular pulse; If a healthy person's heart rate is between 60 and 100, the heart rate of a person suffering from ascension is irregular, and changes from heart to heart. This is a disorder that in many cases is not accompanied by obvious symptoms, and therefore, in most cases, it is not possible to tell whether or not a person is suffering from it. This condition of increase in fibrosis can cause blood clots to form in the heart, clots that can travel in the bloodstream to the brain or other organs. The arrival of a blood clot in the brain is a very common cause of stroke. If an increase in fibrillation diagnosis is made, a person may be offered appropriate treatment, which will reduce the risk of this complication. In conclusion - a screening test for elevated fibrillation, which is the most common major arrhythmia, can diagnose and help prevent future stroke.

According to statistics, in adults aged 80 and over, this disorder can be diagnosed with a prevalence of one in ten and among people with other risk factors (diabetes, hypertension, smoking, heart disease, obesity, hereditary predisposition, etc.), the incidence is much higher.

Shahal's breakthrough

Shahal has made a fairly impressive breakthrough in this area, offering a heartbeat screening test that is conducted quite simply. A person who is at risk of having a stroke (diabetic patients over 65, those who have had a previous stroke or problems such as high blood pressure, smoking, heart disease and more) and would like to check his condition, carry a small device and stick it to the body with stickers, for two weeks, This is in contrast to other common tests, such as Holter ECG, which display 24 hours of data and no more. The same device knows how to detect cardiac arrhythmias, and transmits the information to the call center in real time. The results obtained can be diagnosed and offered treatment that can prevent stroke cerebral.

In addition to all these, the innovative test has other significant advantages. Unlike other existing devices on the market that have been used in the past, the innovative device requires no intervention, or proactive transmission on the part of the patient - everything is done automatically. In addition to upslope, the test allows to transmit and diagnose other serious conditions such as prolonged pauses in cardiac activity (very slow pulse), situations that require urgent intervention, and thus can save lives.
