Mega Electronics AATOS - ECG monitoring system

Mega Electronics' solution AATOS is a telecardiology system developed in co-operation with AnalyzeYou Inc. The system collects and remotely analyses long term ECG recordings by using a novel algorithm, which helps cardiologist to early identify signs of heart problems.

The system consists of a wearable ECG miniature sensor, which continuously measures the heart activity and wirelessly transfers the data directly to the mobile phone of the patient. The information is then automatically transferred securely to the health care provider by using a mobile connection such as GPRS, GSM, CDMA, or 3G.

Coronary heart disease is by far the most common cause of death in many countries. Every few seconds, someone in Europe is suffering of chest pain caused by an insufficient supply of blood to the heart. "It is often difficult for the patient to tell the difference between angina symptoms and heart attack symptoms", says Dr. Takizawa chairman of AnalyzeYou Inc, Tokyo, "therefore it is very important to early recognise the signs of a heart attack and immediately seek for medical attention. Mega Electronics' solution offers patients the capability of recording and simultaneously transmitting the ECG signal whenever they feel heart irregularities or they are sized by pain in the chest.
