• have any conditions that are risk factors for heart problems, such as
diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, obesity or high cholesterol
• have already had a heart attack
• regularly experience symptoms suggestive of poor heart function e.g.,
dizziness, palpitation, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, weakness
or excessive sweating. Please note that anyone experiencing any of
these symptoms should first discuss them with their GP.
Even if the user does not fit into any of these categories, the Medick Personal
Heart Reporting Service can give peace of mind, secure in the knowledge that
any potentially serious problems may be reported enabling the user to take
appropriate action.
The MHM 100 uses intelligent neural network technology to assess the heart.
This means that the MHM 100 has a level of accuracy that compares with the
standard ECG (electrocardiogram) monitors used by doctors. We must point
out, however, that no ECG monitoring device can claim to detect all heart
irregularities. However, the MHM 100 is as good as current technology allows.
Finally, although the doctor’s approval is not necessary to use the Personal
Heart Monitoring service, it is always a good idea for the user to inform him/her
of their decision, particularly if they have a heart condition or a disease that
puts them at higher risk of heart problems. This is more a matter of courtesy, as
the report may suggest that further tests may be necessary.
