Towards the end of 2014, I sat down to watch the movie ‘Fed Up’, featuring Dr. Robert Lustig a UCSF practitioner who has been speaking out on obesity and the detrimental effects of sugar for many years.

Lifetone Technology is introducing the iphonECG system, this is a device that attaches to an iPhone4 and turns it into an Electrocardiography monitor (ECG). The video below demonstrates the device as it captures the electrical activity of the heart. The personal heart rate trending software that is included will prove to be a great tool for patients to use as a biofeedback device. As a personal heart rate monitor, it can help people become aware of their heart rate and they can use the device to practice biofeedback at home.
