The iHeart was initially developed to fulfill a promise Dr. Jess Goodman made to his Tai Chi teacher, a Taoist monk. While he was terminally ill, the monk asked Dr. Goodman to do him a favour to show people the health benefits associated with stretching the part of their bodies in-between the heart and the kidneys.
In order to fulfill his promise, Dr. Goodman began his research, to find that stiffness of the Aorta predicted risk of death from many proven causes. Factors such as stress, lack of exercise and an unhealthy diet lead to stiffness of the Aorta and that the Aorta acts as a measure of stiffness along the spinal axis and as a measure of core mobility. The relationship between Aortic Stiffness and the risk of death from these causes, demonstrated the truth in Dr. Goodman’s Tai Chi teachers intent.
Thus, iHeart was created as a tool to help people measure Internal Age and Aortic Stiffness and therefore realize the personal power they have to change their health and wellness. It was developed to give people an ability to monitor their bodies, encouraging behavior to feel well, avoid illness and live long lives.
Dr Goodman explains “Until now, you needed equipment costing thousands of dollars to accurately measure a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease and dementia. iHeart costs less than £150, clips on your finger and provides results in 30 seconds.
Hugh Sheridan CEO of Wellnostics “We’re very excited to launch the iheart product as it is the next stage of fitness trackers and we recommend it to anyone who is serious about getting healthy and reducing their risk of cardiovascular disease or illness. “
“This revolutionary technology is just another technological advancement that is helping to provide life without limits. We are constantly searching for solutions that we believe make people ‘Healthsmart’ and this device is absolute testament to this belief because it will lead to more people having better lives”.
