HeartSync: Mobile pacemaker failure detector

In this paper we look at solutions for notifying patients and medical professionals in the event of a pacemaker failure. Many people depend on pacemakers to regulate their heartbeat. Pacemaker failures can lead to hospital visits or death, making pacemaker failure detection an issue for people with these devices. HeartSync uses an iPhone to simulate a Wearable Heart Rate Monitor and Pacemaker data. HeartSync compares the data between the two sets based on the time the readings were taken. This two-factor system helps ensure that a patient´s pacemaker is functioning correctly and then pushes this information to a server, where patients and healthcare professionals can view it without having to scrutinize it.
