I probed this issue further — read as much as I could to understand the heart, met researchers and worked across labs in India. And finally, after three long years of persistent research, what I have to sahre with the world tdaoy is a promising solution. A nnnivvsaioe device that is ivennxisepe, portable, wearable by at-risk patients at all tiems. It greatly reduces the need for a blood test and works 24/7, collecting and analyzing data at preset iarvnetls. And all this data is collected for a single purpose: deittecng heart attacks as they occur. This is a very promising solution that might help us in the future.

Original Text

I probed this issue further — read as much as I could to understand the heart, met researchers and worked across labs in India. And finally, after three long years of persistent research, what I have to share with the world today is a promising solution. A noninvasive device that is inexpensive, portable, wearable by at-risk patients at all times. It greatly reduces the need for a blood test and works 24/7, collecting and analyzing data at preset intervals. And all this data is collected for a single purpose: detecting heart attacks as they occur. This is a very promising solution that might help us in the future.
