An ECG for the iPhone

The future of medicine is changing rapidly with the emergence of mobile computing. A system developed by AliveCor that converts the iPhone or iPad into a clinical quality electrocardiograph (ECG) device. The system involves an application that can work with any iPhone or iPad and a card with electrodes (iCard) that is smaller than a business card which sticks to the back of the iPhone or iPad. 

 The company claims that the iphone ECG system gives an accurate clean clinical quality electrocardiograph. According to the company, the iphone ECG records and uploads the reading onto a server and converts into a pdf file for analysis by a medical professional within five seconds.
