Researchers found no difference between the enhanced and standard self-monitoring

Narrowed arteries in the neck – a major risk factor for stroke – could be flagged using smartphone video to detect blood motion.  Research conducted in Taiwan could help experts to develop a non-invasive, early screening tool for detecting blockages in the carotid arteries that can lead to strokes. "Between two per cent and five per cent [...]

According to to new research, smartphones could help to discover a risk factor of stroke through video recordings.  The way this catalyst can be discovered is through motion analysis of the recorded video. By analysing the motion of the video, the researchers were able to detect narrowed arteries in the neck, which are a risk [...]
