A cell phone developer in Singapore is taking a leap in medical technology with a cell phone that can check your pulse and send an ambulance if needed, Agence France Presse reported. The new EPI Life mobile phone comes with a mini electrocardiogram device. The phone can take a users pulse by pressing fingers on a built-in receptor, then sends the results to a medical call center that is working around the clock. “We think it’s a revolution. It has clinical significance,” EPI medical chief Dr. Chow U-Jin said at the mobile industry’s annual conference in Barcelona. “Anywhere in the world you can use it as a phone but you are also able to transfer an ECG and get a reply.”
