Coala Life has created a tiny medical device which can be used by consumers at home for detecting heart disease. The device named Coala does a quick heart scan (ECG) by being placed on the chest or thumb and wireless uploads the data to the cloud via cell phone for processing. It’s nice to see the mobile health market rapidly expanding while simultaneously empowering consumers to take a roll in their health monitoring.
