Bioflux is a mobile cardiac telemetry device made by Biotricity that can be worn by cardiac patients at home. The aim of Bioflux is to monitor high risk cardiac patients in the home setting to allow for early intervention if serious cardiac anomalies are detected. Patients are monitored using a holter and three leads. Real time data is sent from the device to a call center that can check on the patient if the data suggests serious issues. The call center can then ask the patient to go to the doctor or they can send help if immediate response is required. Physicians can also keep track of their cardiac patients through the application associated with the device.

1. Wearable at home
2. HIPAA compliant
3. Early detection and intervention
4. Real time monitoring
5. Ease of use/user friendly
6. Mobile app with open physician-patient communication

1. Requires wearing a holter that can impede in some activities of daily living.
2. Must be charged daily.
3. Not all cardiac patients qualify to use the device.
4. Limited to three leads.
5. Depends on the ability of the user to answer phone calls upon detection of serious anomaly.

I love the idea of this technology. Being able to monitor cardiac patients at home with early detection/intervention will be a huge leap forward in preventing major cardiac deaths. I believe there is still more development to be done as it is still a new concept in the health community. There is already additional technology developed to mitigate some of the cons of this product. Biotres, another monitoring device made by Biotricity, uses a lot of the same technology as Bioflux. Biotres is a minimized version of Bioflux that minimizes discomfort and is designed for more long term use in low risk cardiac patients. This will help extend the availability for cardiac patients to be approved for home monitoring of cardiac rhythms. I believe that the use of these two devices are a great start to cardiac monitoring of patients at home. I am excited to see the progression of this technology and the incorporation of them in patients' lives.

My top 5 strengths are competition, deliberative, focus, relator, and responsibility. Competition will help by comparing our team project to other projects to ensure that our innovation becomes adopted. Deliberative will help by anticipating the needs for the innovation to be accepted. Focus will help keep the project on track and see it through. Relator will help by keeping the team together. Responsibility will help by showing the commitment to the innovation and standing by the product.

My team will consist of Andrew, Carter, Emily, Faith, and Matthew. Andrew is and activator who can get the innovation started. Carter has the strength of communication that will come in great need during the presentation of our project. Emily has empathy which can help our team develop a personal connection with the facility we are attempting to start our innovation at. Faith has the futuristic strength which will help show the facility the possibilities of what could be if they adopt our innovation. Matthew is a maximizer which will help make everyone perform at their highest potential.
