Cinterion, TZ deliver arrhythmia monitoring device

Cinterion and TZ Medical have launched Aera-CT, a mobile health cardiac arrhythmia monitoring device.

The Cinterion-enabled Aera-CT provides the ability to detect heart arrhythmias during normal day-to-day activities and over long periods of time. The device is placed on the patient with as few as three electrodes.

Cinterion’s module enables communication of detailed diagnostic data via cellular networks and the internet, providing patients and their physicians with 24/7 monitoring and improved detection and visibility of arrhythmia events, according to the Munich-based provider of cellular machine-to-machine communication modules.

Several key trends were evident at the Radiological Society of North America 2024 meeting, including new CT and MR technology and evolving adoption of artificial intelligence.

Ron Blankstein, MD, professor of radiology, Harvard Medical School, explains the use of artificial intelligence to detect heart disease in non-cardiac CT exams.

Eleven medical societies have signed on to a consensus statement aimed at standardizing imaging for suspected cardiovascular infections.
