I sincerely enjoyed listening and watching you all's presentation. I feel that the subject matter that you guys are attempting to solve, heart disease/attacks, is a serious issue that affects many people around the world and across the nation. I found you all's presentation to be very informative. I like how you guys explained in detail exactly what heart disease is, rather than assuming that your audience already knew. One piece of information that startled me was the fact that 50% of individuals will wait 2 hours after the start of the attack before receiving medical attention. This statistic stood out to me because a couple of years ago, I had an uncle who suffered a heart attack and this statics could be applied to his situation. This ultimately resulted in his death. That is why I really like you all's idea of the armbands and apps.
Although I think this idea is great, I do find a couple of potential flaws with it. One specific concern that I have is the way that the paramedics would receive the patient's medical history. I do not think that the patient's information being sent directly to the paramedics is completely safe. I feel that they would receive unnecessary information and that they would be spending some time looking through the file to find specific information that they do need, which would be taking time away from the treatment of the patient. I also think that you guys' app should include an emergency contact segment, since certain medical actions cannot be taken without the consent of a guardian. Great Job!!!
This presentation was one of my favorites. I am glad that you all chose this dilemma to base an invention on. I learned so many things that I did not know about heart disease and heart attacks. It was interesting to read that 610,000 lives are taken by Heart Disease. That is such a high number and scary to think that like you said, it can be one in every four deaths in the United States. I am not even sure what the symptoms are when having a heart attack but after your presentation I decided to look further into it. I was in shock when you guys informed me that 50% of individuals are waiting 2 hours after the start of their heart attack to seek medical attention. This sounds even more dangerous when I then found out that 85% of heart damage takes place within the two hours. I really was impressed with the H1, H1 Pro, and H2. The EKG abilities were the coolest aspect in your project. I love how you guys made these armbands for specific people. I thought it was great that you guys included athletes in this dilemma because they also need to be monitored. My favorite part was the video that you guys created. I thought it was very funny but still made the point you guys were trying to make. Overall, I really enjoyed the presentation and I am glad that you all are one of the groups that will be representing the 10 a.m class in the competition.
This presentation was very interesting because it addressed an issue that is fatal to many Americans which is a heart attack. I found it interesting that 610,000 deaths are caused by a heart attack which could have possibly been avoided if the person having the heart attack knew the symptoms. I was extremely concerned by the fact that 50% of individuals will wait 2 hours after the start of an attack before receiving medical attention. I think that bringing awareness to this issue was very important because it is scary to know that people sometimes misinterpret how they are feeling and they decide to wait to receive medical attention, which could affect whether they live or survive because they are experiencing the symptoms of a heart attack.
Creating an armband that is able to continuously monitor a person’s vitals is a very good idea which can be used as a prevention method, and it also brings awareness to the person wearing the armband. The only concern I have is dealing with the app which will hold the person’s medical information because anyone could gain access to it even if it is protected by some code because someone could easily hack into it. Also, although this armband seems like a really great idea I am concerned with the cost because some people may not be able to afford the product and their insurance company might not want to invest in the armband. Overall the presentation was well put together and I am very glad that as a group you decided to focus on preventive care which is important because being aware of how you can prevent something or monitor your vitals if you are prone to a heart attack can make a huge difference between life or death. I also liked the video you added to your presentation because it made me think more about it and in a way, it brought the issue to life because anyone can have a heart attack so it is important to be aware of the symptoms. All I have to say is well done!
This was one of my favorite presentations. This group chose to focus on heart issues. I had no idea of some of the statistics that were given in regards to heart issues in adults. I thought the scenario provided in the beginning was an excellent opener to the project. It really reeled the audience in by showing just how severe overlooked symptoms can be. Oftentimes adults will try to diagnose themselves and medicate themselves however, that will not always work. I think this group has a great idea that is pretty realistic as well. This group did a good job explaining the science behind the product. Including many visuals for the EKGs and how they work and connect to the patient's body was very helpful. Some people such as myself are visual learners so I enjoyed that the group not only verbally explained the products functions but showed them as well. I also like the idea of having more than one type of this product. I think its great and shows a lot of versatility in the organization to have a variety of prices to choose from. Having a product that can be sold over the counter is very convenient for those who want a more less severe heart monitor. However my only issue with this product is the app and the installation of the product to the patient's body. I don't think older people, the majority of the group being affected by heart problems would know how to use an app to track their bodily functions. They are not as tech savy as younger adults and teens are and I think they would resort to just scheduling a doctor appointment if they felt that their heart was causing them problems that needed to be monitored. Overall this was a great project with great information and background.
The idea behind your armband invention has a good cause and is a step closer to eliminating all other hard-to-understand stacks of files. The fact that each year 610,000 Lives are taken by heart Disease is a tremendous amount. I find it outrageous how many lives are taken by things like these. My grandmother, for example, had a heart defect and found it hard to keep up with all the technological and medical terms the doctors and nurses would use. So something like this that gets straight to the point and that would allow her to keep track of her health information 24/7 instead of finding out till the next doctor visit would be a great stress reliever. When you mentioned that 50% of individuals will wait 2 hours after receiving medical attention is shocking. Your group did a good job on providing the device in technological terms. I had no idea what the EKG system was or the numbers of sensors, identified as "leads" were. Your group's presentation was also well displayed and easy to understand. Definitely a website that people of older age could understand and comprehend. One downside that I have about the device, would be the Price. I understand that these device has a lot of science behind it but shouldn't it be a bit cheaper? Most of these individuals who tend to have these type of Heart Diseases, are minimum wage workers. With that being said, A price of $899.00,$1,599.00 or $299.00 would be very inconvenient with those who need it. The app as well, More than likely, these individuals do not have a smartphone, so how would they be able to look at the app. But overall, A very well done Project and idea.
This was a very outstanding topic and a presentation. I can relate to this situation, where my mother's father instantly had a heart attack while walking around in a park. My mother did not expect such a tragedy, and it was too late for him. Of course, my mother was devastated by the instant occurrence of my grandfather's passing, and with this presentation, it brought light to me, and definitely will to my mother. She kept scaring me saying both my mother and I will probably have a heart attack because of the genes that were passed down. With this scare tactic, I was quite worried for both my mother and I. If this project actually does become a thing in the future, I will be more than relieved because I need to know if anyone is having irregular heart beats and problems that may be the cause of cancer. Pricing, of course, would be a problem considering this is a life-changing device, but in my eyes, it will definitely be a worthy purchase. This presentation really moved me in being more worried about my family's future, and that is a good thing. Overall, this was a great presentation and wonderful idea for the people to know.
This presentation was very engaging and imperative. Many people ignore their symptoms because they don’t see the severity of the issue. I’ve witnessed this firsthand with the death of my cousin. He had of history of heart problems within his family yet ignored his chronic chest pains. This led to his death at a very young age. It was surprising to hear that people would wait 2 hours after the attack to seek medical attention especially since most of the damage had already occurred. I like the concept of the armband because it is concealable. It would also allow the person to keep track of their health. The armband monitors body vitals, temperature, pulse rate, etc. With all of these functions, it is understandable that the prices would be on the higher side. However, since there is an eligibility for insurance hopefully people who can not afford to pay would get assistance. Many people are so consumed with other things that they don’t even take proper care of themselves.
This presentation did a very well job at addressing a very serious health issue. I wasn't aware that heart disease affected so many people and I also wasn't aware that there were a lot of people who weren't aware of the symptoms of a heart attack which is why I think this presentation really opened my eyes to this issue. In America 735,000 individuals per year suffer a heart attack and half of them seek medical attention after two hours of the attack. This is very important because 85% of the damage is done within the first two hours. The purpose of HeartLife is to create armbands that monitor a person's vitals. This would help to inform individuals of their health conditions so that if they are suffering from a heart attack, they will to know seek medical attention to avoid any permanent damage to the heart. Personally I think you guys did a well job in explaining this electrocardiogram (EKG) system. However like Dr. Johnson the only concern I have is the price range. I think it'd actually end up being higher than what y'all initially thought. With this being said another concern would be whether or not one's insurance company would cover this and how much would the individual be paying out of pocket. Aside from that, this was a very good presentation. I think you guys did a good job in coming up with a solution to a very serious issue.
This group did a fantastic job on identifying a huge health problem in America today. I was unaware of how many people could be of high risk of heart disease. The way you presented at the in Sabitini was great also. Corbin's real life testimony really brought it to life. Creating an armband to help monitors ones heart rate is an amazing ideal and I hope you all can turn this vision into a reality.
Your project was an idea that should have been thought up a while ago. Who knew that heart disease was such a huge issue and that so many people wouldn't seek medical attention after a heart attack. I believe that the information your group presented was very interesting and informational. I especially enjoy the design of the arm band and the little EKG pods. The ability for these things to be mobile is a big step in the right direction, because while being hooked up to those things in the hospital there is little that you can do without the help of the nurse. With these pods i believe that wont be an issue, people will have that chance to be more independent and self sufficient. This product, i feel, would also help people that live alone but need to be monitored because of their health. This device will give them the chance truly live on their own.
I had no idea cardiovascular problems were so common. I was surprised to find how subtle heart attacks can be and that so many people don't realize they're having a heart attack. Your project has a practical and foreseeable use and I could see this being widely distributed for personal use. I feel that giving cardiovascular patients the freedom of regular healthy people is a great idea and would look forward to seeing this kind of technology become a reality.
