>How many ECGs can you sell vs how many other snake-oil products?
replyA lot, probably. You could sell people on the idea that it should be a part of your yearly health screening.
"And if you really care about your health you should do them every 3 months to catch problems early!"
or some such.
This will work short-term sure, but after about lets say, 3 years of no adverse findings, the average person will not take it seriously anymore.
replyHuh? I get a blood panel every year and 90% of the things it looks for are normal year after year. But there is always 1 or 2 things flagged that I need to pay attention to.
replyAn ECG if it was just part of the normal yearly panel of things that get looked at I don't think ppl will stop doing it just because it doesn't find something right away
> the average person
replyI do not consider the average HN commenter to be average.
What does that have to do anything. The recommendation is to do a blood panel every year I don’t see anything worse about adding ecg to that
replyNobody said anything is worse. Half this thread is satire. But on a serious note. ECG is really time prohibitive, drawing 3ml of blood is relatively quick, and doesn't require specialist training like an ECG does.
replyWhat’s the latest on better ecg tech? Can’t an Apple Watch basically do it but they can’t call it that because it’s not approved.
reply“You’re waiting 3 months between ECGs?”
replyWhistle: Hope you didn't burn those arteries there mate :)
replyYou can still sell snake oil that's purported to improve ECGs.
replyWe should talk, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em :)
