Cinterion, TZ deliver arrhythmia monitoring device
Cinterion and TZ Medical have launched Aera-CT, a mobile health cardiac arrhythmia monitoring device.

The Cinterion-enabled Aera-CT provides the ability to detect heart arrhythmias during normal day-to-day activities and over long periods of time. The device is placed on the patient with as few as three electrodes.

Cinterion’s module enables communication of detailed diagnostic data via cellular networks and the internet, providing patients and their physicians with 24/7 monitoring and improved detection and visibility of arrhythmia events, according to the Munich-based provider of cellular machine-to-machine communication modules.
