Nearly six million die and another five million are left permanently disabled. The harsh facts also show that stroke is the second leading cause of disability (after dementia) worldwide.

Then you open up the WIWE application and after a couple of logical steps, you will be able to start a new recording. You have to push the two metal sensors on the WIWE device, which will record your ECG, blood oxygen level and pulse in the next 60 seconds. The company claims that the algorithm is 98 per cent accurate, which I have not had the chance to verify yet, and I know that it is quite a little statistical sample, but my data was in line with the previously measured parameters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The results do not appear on the device itself, they are transmitted wirelessly – through Bluetooth connection – to your smartphone or another smart device, to the WIWE application. It is available both for iOS and Android. Thus, if you would like your elderly parents or grandparents to have WIWE as their guardian, you don’t even need to explain them any technical details: they just push the two metal sensors from time to time, and you will have their results on your smartphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"463\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F12\u002Fhow-to-use-wiwe.jpg\" alt=\"How to Use WIWE - WIWE review\" class=\"wp-image-14634\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F12\u002Fhow-to-use-wiwe.jpg 870w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F12\u002Fhow-to-use-wiwe-768x409.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F12\u002Fhow-to-use-wiwe-512x272.jpg 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F12\u002Fhow-to-use-wiwe-458x244.jpg 458w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>How to read your data?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>WIWE is able to analyze the ECG data itself, and it is able to dive into the details about your vital signs.
