Statement of the problem
In the 21st century, diseases associated with abnormal heart rhythms are on the rise. The lifestyle that most people are living in is a significant factor that has mainly contributed to the increase in this problem. The causes include overweight and obesity, drug abuse including excessive consumption of alcohol and smoking, and poor diets and unhealthy foods. Other factors are beyond human control and are factors to do with nature. People who are likely to have abnormal heart rhythms include people from families known to experience heart problems, people with diabetes, people who have undergone heart surgery, and people with low potassium and other electrolytes (Sulivan, 2013). It is known to cause sudden cardiac deaths.
However, the devices that are available in the market and hospitals are not entirely reliable. Technology has tried to discover methods that can measure blood flow in one’s skin, therefore, estimating the rate of heartbeats. Most devices provide inaccurate data and provide information when it is too late. The sensors are not enough and are weak. Others are too heavy for the victims to carry around every time. In case spillage of fluids or water, the devices would crash because they are not waterproof. Despite all those disadvantages, most of them are very expensive to purchase.
Market
The new device for monitoring abnormal heart rhythms can overcome all the problems associated with the devices that are currently in the market. Therefore, the new device stands a perfect place in the market. The people who offer an exchange for the device are people who are associated with abnormal heart rhythms. The people diagnosed with the disease should buy the equipment. Government hospitals, pharmacies, and health centers should make sure they stock the new device. The people who have the risk of getting the disease should also buy the device to monitor themselves. These people include persons who come from families who are known to have a history of heart complications, people who are recovering from heart surgeries, and people who are severely injured. Obese and overweight people should also secure themselves with this device because they have a high probability of getting abnormal heart rhythms.
