Indian healthcare equipment vendor Maestros Mediline Systems Limited has launched a mobile ECG application that can enable doctors to receive real-time heart data of patients from their Blackberries over the Vodafone network.

The system, called eUNO R10, has patients with a special set of wrist electrodes connect to the eUNO BlackBerry app, which records and uploads cardiac data to the server. From the server, the data is automatically pushed to the BlackBerry of a doctor (who need not be in the hospital), to analyze the data.  A diagnosis whether the patient is having a heart attack (or a more mild incident such as an angina), and quickly prescribe the appropriate medicines and/or courses of action—all far more quickly than could be done previously.

For now, the service has launched with one hospital (Mumbai’s Nanavati Hospital), one carrier and with one smartphone platform. We bet other hospitals, carriers, and smartphone makers will jump in as well in coming months.
