There are quite a lot of competitors already designing this type of device. One of the common ones is SecuraFone app from Apple that is already being widely used. However, other competitors are in the process of improving this device. For instance, Fortify VR is a defibrillator implanted in this patient's chest, and it has alarm system that will warn people of possible heart attack hours before it happens. Yet it is still only used in patients with heart attack and they plan to improve it in order to offer the device also for people who are prone to the disease. | There are quite a lot of competitors already designing this type of device.
