Cavolo... immagino le implicazioni a livello di costi degli strumenti, e la possibilità in un futuro di farseli a casa e di inviare i dati al medico via mail:
This is quite amazing. A company called DRE has produced a n ECG machine that plugs into a standard PC Notebook or to a Windows Mobile 2003/5.0 Pocket PC.
