Heart attack is an unexpected incident causing a sudden death. However, with the new iBeat tech, it can help minimize the risk of heart attack.

iBeat, is a latest wearable technology, it functions as the typical fitness tracker, but at the same time helps to lessen deaths due to cardiovascular disease.

Early sign of heart attack can be detected through the newest iBeat smartwatch which utilizes microsensors to calculate users' heart rate for any deviations from the normal range. The new smartwatch also contains a built-in radio, microphone and GPS.

According to Fox News, "there are many devices on the market, including diabetic monitors, heart-rate monitors, and other health monitoring solutions, but all these devices only passively monitor you," Ryan Howard, founder and CEO of iBeat, said in a news release.

"None of them actively monitor and analyze your heart health around-the-clock like the iBeat Life Monitor."

The iBeat vibrates to alert the user during a pre-cardiac arrest event. It suggests users to tap the tiny monitor to check the status of their emergency requirement.

If "no" is the answer from the watch's screen or no reply within 10 seconds, users joined emergency contacts and iBeat's 24/7 heart dispatch squad will receive a text, email or phone information indicating the users' location and the level of emergency they needed.

Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening incident, and patient has 90 percent chance of dying if without management, Howard said in the release.

Having a constant supervision and rapid intervention can mean the difference between life and death in emergency circumstances, Howard added.

The smartwatch costs $150 and a monthly fee of $17 for the surveillance service and be can be ordered at iBeat.com.  

As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in every 43 seconds, almost 735,000 Americans have a heart attack annually. Heart disease which is a risk influence for heart attacks, is causing one in every four deaths in the U.S.
