Can a wearable patch detect a silent heart attack before it becomes fatal?
In short: Inventor Akash Manoj introduces a noninvasive, wearable patch designed to identify silent heart attacks. This device aims to provide critical alerts to patients, potentially serving as a life-saving intervention for a condition that often lacks the obvious symptoms of traditional heart attacks.
While many people recognize common heart attack symptoms like chest pain, arm discomfort, shortness of breath, and fatigue, silent heart attacks remain difficult to detect. Because these events lack typical warning signs, they can be particularly dangerous.
At 17 years old, Akash Manoj developed this wearable technology to address the challenge of identifying these silent events. The patch is designed to be both inexpensive and noninvasive, offering a way to alert individuals during a critical moment when immediate action could be the difference between life and death.
