Diagnosis in the early stages of cardiac-related illness can help slow the progression of disease, improve patient care and reduce healthcare costs. The Efficia ECG100 acquisition device is a cost-effective cardiograph that measures and displays12-channel ECGs in both inpatient and outpatient settings. The portable product seamlessly functions with application-enabled Android smart phones and tablets, even without WiFi, allowing ECG technicians to quickly and remotely consult with off-site cardiologists and general practitioners. It also allows clinicians to access past ECGs, and email ECG reports to specialists. The device comes with the ability to store high-resolution PDFs, which can be printed on regular A4 paper, instead of the more costly thermal paper. The ability to share and analyze up-to-the-minute medical information with a specialist allows for earlier intervention, and expands access to care for patients in resource-constrained healthcare settings.  More info here
