CES 2017 will begin next Thursday, but January 5 is the official date on which the event will begin. Many companies take advantage of the days before to get ahead of the competition and start talking about their products before others. This is what Qardio has done with QardioCore, a kind of chest band to control our heart and perform other medical measurements that was presented two years ago now as the first wearable ECG monitor.
With QardioCore, the user who wears this chest band you can check your cardiovascular health without having to carry cables with their corresponding patches. Although the design differs a lot, this device reminds us a lot of sports heart rate monitors, those that are worn around the chest and that are much more reliable than any bracelet, including the Apple Watch, because it is closer to the heart and, whatever more importantly, move less.
QardioCore, the first wearable ECG monitor now available for pre-order
The QardioCore has been FDA approved and uses sensors to store accurate EKG, pulse, pulse rate, respiratory rate, temperature, and activity data. This data can be shared with medical professionals or synced with the Apple Health app via Bluetooth. Data can also be synchronized with the app Qardio.
As to its autonomy, Qardio assures that this chest band can last a whole day of continuous use on a single charge via USB-A, but you haven't specified other details such as how long it will take to charge. It will be during the CES in Las Vegas that will begin next Thursday when they provide more information about QardioCore and other devices of the company, such as the QardioArm smart blood pressure monitor, the QardioBase wireless scale and body analyzer and the medical dashboard.

What we do know is that it is already available for your reserve for a price of € 499, a price that may seem high from the point of view of someone who does not need it, but that is not so high if we think that it can save our lives. At the moment I, who I think I'm not bad, I keep my Apple Watch.

Hi, Ema. As health is not played and I do not know what all these derivations could be, I would recommend that you contact them from here https://www.getqardio.com/es/about-us/#contact and that they answer all the questions.
They advertise it as yes, that it is quite a portable ECG, but I cannot know if it has any important deficiencies.
A greeting.
