The Livelong Battle That Emerges To A Life-Saving Discovery
As an orphan, Lisa was left with nothing but became an inventor of a life-saving device.
“I am proud I could make a difference in people’s lives and impact those who are dependent.”
At a young age of 11, Lisa Goodwill lost her mother to one of the deadliest things to mankind – Heart Attack.
Orphaned and lost, she was shown love and provided by the orphanage despite them not being blood related. Lisa became inspired by the kindness shown and have decided to contribute back to society.
At 30, Lisa successfully established a seniors care home for those who have a history of, or have battled a heart attack.
The Hidden Enemy
Until one cold, quiet night, the unexpected strikes. A heart attack made a move on someone whom Lisa cares for.
And he is only 34.
“I’m in shock. I am aware that it can happen to anyone, but he’s always active and never drinks nor smokes.”
Jack, a night shift nurse was found dead on the outdoor compound. CCTV footage previewed that Jack collapsed abruptly. He wailed and called out for help but was too weak to conjure much of an attention. This led Lisa to her devastation, thinking she is doing everything she could.
The Conquest To Defeating Heart Attack
Surging with determination, she was moved with a new devotion.
“NOT on my watch. Never again.”
She decided that the only way a victim can be saved, is to track their heart activity and alert them of early signs of heart attack. In that way, the victim can act before it is too late.
Lisa studied to a great degree to understand the heart, met researchers from Germany and worked across various labs to produce a promising solution.
A heart attack is akin to that of a road closure – it leads to an unwanted bottleneck that results in heavy traffic. Long term blockage can permanently damage the heart.
She discovered that before the heart goes into shock, it starts contracting faster. A hormone known as cortisol rises and causes a surge in blood pressure. This may very well be the answer to detecting an impending heart attack as these changes in heart activity can be tracked.
Invisible But Not Invincible
After 3 years, Lisa uncovered the right technology to perform just that.
She successfully devised a non-invasive, inexpensive, portable, and wearable device known as the Helfer™ smartwatch. It is a medical grade heart monitor that collects and analyses data periodically, which will then be measured to indicate the vitals of the wearer and signals before heart attacks occur.
“If only I had this technology 20 years ago, my mother could be saved.”
The Impact Begins
Lisa made it a practice that everyone in the care centre should be wearing the device. Weeks after, an elderly was alerted of an incoming heart attack. The early signs of the deadly affliction were detected and was sent to an emergency ward to receive immediate treatment.
“That device of yours is nothing I have ever seen before.”
“It literally saved your life! There will be nothing we can do to save you, if it was 2 minutes later.” – local heart surgeon
This was music to everyone’s ears, especially Lisa’s.
“I’m welling up with tears of joy! I am finally making a significant impact in people’s lives!” – Lisa
Dr. Issac, a cardiologist veteran caught wind of the news on Helfer™ and reached out to Lisa to conduct several experiments on his patients. Dr. Issac determines that Helfer™ not only detects incoming heart attacks, but monitors the user’s blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels with impeccable accuracy.
“Even if they do get to hospital by chance, they might have to go through one or more of the set time-consuming, expensive tests such as the electrocardiogram (ECG).”
“The probability of survival decreases by 7 to 10 percent for every minute that a victim stays in a life-threatening arrhythmia. When it comes to heart attack, every second counts.”
“This makes Helfer™ the best solution by far as it detects anomalies in the wearer’s bloodstream and heart activity.” – Dr. Isaac
Heart Attack Monitor Cum Smart Watch
With a push of a button, the wearer can be notified if they’re safe or if a medic’s presence is required. Its water-resistant properties means that showering and swimming with Helfer™ will be worry-free. This allow users to keep it on at all times!
Helfer™ is developed to be compatible with any smartphone, both Apple and Android OS. Equipped with a user-friendly interface, it is suitable for the non-tech savvy.
Significance Of Helfer™
“I was given a second chance, thanks to you and your device.”
– 57 year old baker
“I intended to get the smartwatch just to track on my burned calories.”
“Recently on a hiking trip, I received a warning from my smartwatch. Initially I brushed it off, thinking it was just an abnormality. I felt a little tired but was feeling pretty energized so thought I could go on.”
“Then I remembered you don’t always feel the exact symptoms. My wife dialed 911 and a CareFlight helicopter was dispatched and just when it arrived, I went into cardiac arrest. Luckily the paramedics managed to stabilize my heart.”
“Honestly, without the heart monitor function, I would not be here today to tell everyone about this.”
Awakening
Nearly 8 million people lost their fight to heart attack every year. If you experience chest pain, arm pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, you’re at a higher risk of heart attack.
If treated late, stroke can be a plausible outcome…
And any later entails death.
Statistics have proven that all heart attack cases occur 90% of the time at night. This dictates that most seniors wake up in sheer agony and dies in pain and shock.
Many are left to die alone in the dark.
Senior users report worrying less and feel safer about their health security.
“The watch really takes the stress away.” – James M
“I don’t feel as vulnerable anymore knowing I’ve got an eye on my heart.” – Clara P
“It’s like having your very own personal nurse on standby at all times!” – Kiera L
Heart Attack Is Like A House Fire, The Longer It Takes To Put It Out, The More Structural Damage Is Done
If you have come this far in the video, do consider…
Whose lives really matter to you, and what are the things you can do for them?
When we look at our progress at cardiac health care today, it is more of sick care than preventative self-care and technology. We should NOT wait for heart attack to occur and pour a vast majority of resources into post care treatment.
Do it for your family. Do it for yourself.
In support of the Woman’s Heart Foundation, the first 300 units will be given out at a premium offer as heart attacks are generally more severe in women than men.
