A prototype Bluetooth heart monitor in development could give those who have already had a heart attack a much better chance of receiving treatment in time to save their lives. The device monitors ECG and transmits the information via Bluetooth to a specialized cell phone. The phone has special circuitry designed to check for signs that cardiac failure is imminent. If a heart attack is detected, the phone sends an alert to the emergency room via text message.

BlueQ is set to release the BlueQ Wristband, an aptly named device that connects to your phone via Bluetooth and vibrates whenever your phone is receiving an incoming call. When might this be useful? In a loud bar, while dancing, while listening to your iPod, in class or at the movies are just a few ideas from BlueQ’s website.
The wristband has only two buttons, one for power and the other to transfer the call to your handset if your cell phone requires it. The BlueQ will be available in July for $39.95.
