An early Xmas present to myself arrived at Chez Moi last month in the shape of a rather thick credit card. It's not actually a credit card though, and while it's a chunky 6mm wide it is pretty smart truth be told. That's because it's a clinically validated cardiac diagnostic device, a heart monitor to you and me, called a WIWE. Once I got myself over the fact that I cannot stop pronouncing it as a wee wee, I quickly found the WIWE does a whole lot more than your Fitbit or smartwatch can do in terms of monitoring your heart health.

At Digital Trends, we’re currently testing the WIWE mobile ECG, a credit card-sized device that connects with a smartphone app and records an ECG.

This is the sort of technology that we here at MobileTechTalk can get behind. Firstly, it’s powerful and small which ticks two big boxes, but most importantly it can help save lives. A lot of companies out there talk about their devices “changing the lives” of the owners, but having a dual camera on your device isn’t really going to do that. The WIWE Mobile ECG Recorder just might.
