Thanks to the electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as the EKG, countless lives have been saved. And although the ECG was invented in the early 1900s, it has evolved over the years into a highly efficient and sensitive smart piece of medical equipment used throughout the world. Today, there are even portable models that provide a whole host of health and convenience benefits, a few of which are listed below.
The Comfort of Home
Some days, you just don’t feel like leaving the house, even when you need to get a checkup or get readings from an ECG machine. Fortunately, you can now ditch your plans of having to go to the doctor regularly to get an ECG reading. Because they are now portable, you can relax in the comfort of your home and get the precise ECG readings you need.
Portability
So you like to get around and don’t always like sitting around the house. With a portable ECG, your life on the go won’t be inhibited one bit. These machines are hand held and quite easy to use. They’re also compact and easy to stash in numerous places in your car, purse or office.
Cost Savings
A portable ECG machine will ultimately save you money in the long run. And upfront, your costs aren’t as prohibitive as you might think. Quality portable ECG machines can be had from between $50-$300, not a lot of money compared to the savings in gas, hospital visits and hospital stays you’ll enjoy over time.
