Why use a phone when your heart can contact emergency response on its own?

Researchers in India say when a heart attack strikes, your heart should soon be able to send a text message to the hospital to get help.

A study published Tuesday in Inderscience's International Journal of Electronic Healthcare found a wearable "Telemedicine" Bluetooth heart device is able to send text messages to local hospitals when the heart shows signs of extreme distress.

The Bluetooth heart monitor regularly records a patient's electrocardiogram (EKG), and sends levels to the patient's cell phone, but also checks the signals for signs of sudden cardiac failure, and if a problem is detected, alerts the nearest medical center with a text message.

Thulasi Bai, a professor at the Sathyabama University in Tamil Nadu, India, told FOXNews.com the Bluetooth monitor gives patients at risk for heart failure a chance for more mobile lifestyles.

"Before, the doctor has to determine the information, but with this, everything is truly automatic and immediate care can be given to the patient," said Bai, who began testing the model two months ago along with her senior professor S.K. Srivatsa.

The difference between this wearable heart monitor and other previously developed ones is that this device not only transmits information to the doctor through Bluetooth, a wireless network used to transfer information, but it is also designed to read the EKG levels carefully enough to know if the heart is actually suffering an attack before sending the message, Bai said.

Not only would this offer the patient more mobility, said Bai, but it would save the doctor time in analyzing the levels him or herself.

The scarcity of doctors available in densely-populated India is what inspired her project, she said.
