Galway researchers developing new technology to prevent heart attacks

Galway Bay fm newsroom – A team of Galway researchers are developing sensors which alert people to ‘triggers’ which may lead to a heart attack.
Triggers such as anger, stress, and high blood pressure are known to cause a rupture in the narrowing of artery walls in people prone to cardiac illness.
An NUI Galway research team is developing a medical device that can monitor “trigger” activities electronically using wearable sensors.
