Cardiovascular disease is the number one leading causes of death in the world today, and it can be prevented by utilizing a more healthier lifestyle (World Health Organization, 2018). AliveCor is one of the few innovative technologies that have emerged to assist people in being able to capture an ECG in 30-seconds, by utilizing SmartRhythm monitoring that can be easily attached to a smartphone, FitBit, or Apple watch. SmartRhythm monitoring uses an autoregressive, deep neural network that can learn the normal relationship between heart rate and activity, and notify you when it sees an unexpected pattern(AliveCor, 2018). The Kardia program is designed to detect a cardiac arrhythmia and will prompt abnormalities such as atrial fibrillation, as well as indicating if the analyzed rhythm is unreadable, unclassified, or normal (Jung, 2018). Atrial fibrillation is linked to cardiovascular disease with an increase in death and stroke and one of the most common complications after surgery (American Heart Association, 2016). ]]> 2018-10-02 21:39:29 UTC https://padlet.com/tmarkssmith/2ujfhzvzeaxz/wish/288393161 KardiaMobile tmarkssmith https://padlet.com/tmarkssmith/2ujfhzvzeaxz/wish/288393223 See how it works.]]> 2018-10-02 21:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tmarkssmith/2ujfhzvzeaxz/wish/288393223 Source Details tmarkssmith https://padlet.com/tmarkssmith/2ujfhzvzeaxz/wish/288393268 AliveCor.

2. Generates reports and keeps track of all analyzed rhythms for reporting to your physician. 
3.Allows voice recording while analyzing to describe what the person may be feeling or doing (ex. palpitations, sweating, physical activity).
4. Small and discreet making it easy to use.
5. Does not require major setup or pairing, ready to use out of the box.]]> 2018-10-02 21:40:26 UTC https://padlet.com/tmarkssmith/2ujfhzvzeaxz/wish/288393328 Cons tmarkssmith https://padlet.com/tmarkssmith/2ujfhzvzeaxz/wish/288393360 1. Single lead tracing is used and this can lead to missing cardiac events such as myocardial ischemia.
2. Limited research has been done, therefore the accuracy of the equipment was only tested on a small sample size.
3. Product is only capable of single-lead ECG tracing, and can not identify a serious life-threatening arrhythmia.  
4. Requires a paid subscription to AliveCor.
5. Decreases battery life and activity functions of the Apple watch and requires more frequent charging.]]> 2018-10-02 21:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tmarkssmith/2ujfhzvzeaxz/wish/288393360 Opinion and Rationale tmarkssmith https://padlet.com/tmarkssmith/2ujfhzvzeaxz/wish/288393520 The use of this current innovation that is found in many smart devices has been a benefit for me and the lifestyle I live. I tend to utilize many functions of my Apple watch such as monitoring my heart rate, counting the number of steps that I take, and also my caloric intake. AliveCor has added a feature that I believe would be beneficial depending on the medical history of a person, for example someone with minute health risks or none at all. If this particular technology can indeed detect atrial fibrillation, this could reduce a person from having a stroke In my opinion I would not recommend any device that could put a person at risk for serious health concerns, however in a person with no health issues this could be beneficial in prompting follow-up with a doctor. Technology will be forever changing  and at some point will become the way of the future. No matter what the situation may be in any circumstance it is more important to understand that most of these limited technologies are only available as sheer resources, I recommend always getting advice from a medical professional before putting your life at risk. ]]> 2018-10-02 21:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tmarkssmith/2ujfhzvzeaxz/wish/288393520 Using Strengths tmarkssmith https://padlet.com/tmarkssmith/2ujfhzvzeaxz/wish/288393635 My top five strengths: Relator, Learner, Responsibility, Woo, Communication.

Team Selection
1. Alice being the achiever would be my first choice, as she would be great at hitting the ground running due to her strong work ethic, even with  a flaw of being over committed.
2. Fernando has focus and can take direction with follow through, he's a person that would organize and structure the flow of the innovation. 
3. Faith would be an ideal person as she is futuristic, strategic thinking. Because she can see both sides to a situation and can arrive at a consensus she would be great at assisting in facilitating the innovation. 
4. Matthew the maximizer is an asset as he can influence the group and keep us heading in an appropriate direction with his perfectionism. 
5. Sheila is strategic and will be able to identify the potential risks of the innovation and help to target potential losses.]]> 2018-10-02 21:42:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tmarkssmith/2ujfhzvzeaxz/wish/288393635 KardiaBand tmarkssmith https://padlet.com/tmarkssmith/2ujfhzvzeaxz/wish/288395061 See how it works.
