Obviously, the number of visits is reduced, because new technologies will help people decide to modify their physical condition. One of the applications: AROS is getting such a future, a system of verification of the heart, the graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of technology.



Significant advantages of this system is that it is based on an ordinary webcam-the patient should not wear any additional sensors or donate analyses.
