CHESS Medicare Pvt Ltd has ventured in to manufacturing of Handheld feTal-ECG "eKERNEL" using mobile cellular network with technical know how from BARC (Bhabha Atomic Research Centre) operated with the help of a mobile phone via bluetooth. It records ECG of the subject and displays the same on mobile screen. After complete recording, the ECG can be sent to the expert's mobile through, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) for his opinion. It is ideally suited for health care in rural areas and cities. In the event of impending heart problems, "eKERNEL" does early detection and allows swift and appropriate action which can be significant in saving valuable lives.
