Shenzhen, China-based Viatom Technology got FDA’s clearance for its Checkme Pro portable health monitor. Said device can perform one-lead ECG recording, pulse oximetry, temperature measurement, and movement sensing. Moreover, it also includes a cuffless systolic blood pressure meter which supposedly works accurately, though it requires calibration.

With all this, Checkme Pro should provide quick health evaluations that can be performed even by the patient himself/herself, and then reviewed by a physician from a remote location.

Checkme Pro is deemed ideal for telemedicine purposes, providing a “convenient bridge between doctors and patients.”The ECG provides QRS duration, ST segment, and rhythm analysis for basic cardiac monitoring of patients, while the pulse oximeter module can detect the oxygen desaturation and save up to 10 hours of measurement data.

The device is deemed ideal for telemedicine purposes, providing a “convenient bridge between doctors and patients.” On the other hand — in Home mode — users get to benefit from the Daily Check function to check their health at routine time.

There are no information when or even whether Viatom will bring the Checkme Pro to the U.S. The device also got EU’s CE mark and is at least legally ready to hit markets across the Western hemisphere, provided it finds an interested distributor.

Meanwhile, we have Scanadu and Zensor competing in the same space, hoping to create a universal tricorder people will want to use. We’re not sure the market is ready yet, though.
