YU founder Rahul Sharma today unveiled a
transformational health device that could totally revamp the way we carry out
routine medical tests. A new cassette
shaped device called HealthYU can carry out various medical tests
including ECG (Electro-Cardiogram), Skin Temperature, Blood Pressure, Blood
Oxygen Saturation, Heart Rate and Respiration rate.
This device basically attaches to the rear side of
our smartphone and then user needs to just push the 2 buttons on the
cassette for a few seconds and all the readings start showing up on the
smartphone. The readings could then be saved to your smartphone and can also be
sent to your doctor directly to your doctor at the touch of a button.
This is first such device to be launched by any
smartphone company in India, and if worked as mentioned, it could definitely be
one of the most useful devices people can have with them. And yes, it could be
a life-saver in many situations.
All data that collected remains stored in the Yu
App on the cloud of all the tests conducted previously, so user can always
refer to the historical tests conducted.
The best part about the HealthYU cassette is that
it can work with any smartphone and is based on an open platform.
HealthYU is priced at Rs. 4999/-. While
some may find the price to be slightly higher, given the kind of medical tests
it can do, I believe the price is justified.
While the device is great, the most important factor for the success of
this device will be how accurate are the test results.
Historically, smartphone based medical tests are
known to be inaccurate, however, if this new device is able to conduct tests
even with 90% accuracy, it could be one of the best devices people can own.
Imagine taking these 6 medical tests for you and
your family at any time anywhere, without any cost and without any wait time.
Yes, it is truly transformational as long as it gives realistic and accurate
results!
