Executive Summary
Israeli company RS Medical Monitoring has developed a device to monitor patients for early signs of pulmonary oedema, a potentially fatal complication associated with acute heart disease. The monitor, which measures changes in the active resistance in the lungs caused by an accumulation of fluids, gives an audio-visual signal if the fluid level exceeds or falls below pre-set levels.
