There are a number of EKGs out on the market today. Here are images of just a few (click to enlarge the images):
What our device offers that none of these do is the ability to access and make changes to the EKG circuit in the event of product failure. In addition, we are toying with several additional features, one of which is temperature-sensitive paint that can warn of a circuit blow out. Both of these aspects make our EKG more practical for use in low-resource settings, and we believe that this fact makes us a good candidate for a patent. Many of the patents that have been given on the US Patent website are adjustments to similar models of the standard EKG (similar to those shown above). We are trying to approach design of this device from a totally different angle.
