In medicine, when one combines remote monitoring with machine learning, the resulting service goes further traditional healthcare. Farasha Labs identified this opportunity and, since 2012, it has been creating a set of e-services to prevent cardiovascular diseases.

E-cardio is the name of Farasha’s virtual cardiologist and the backbone of a global strategy to democratise cardiovascular prevention. Partnering with drugstores and pharmacies around the globe, this company is planning to give free heart check-ups to anyone willing to take five minutes to take care its heart.

What is it?

E-cardio is the door to access Farasha services. It works as a Chat-Operated “assistant” available 24/7 that offers users a full cardiovascular check-up based on Machine Learning and FARASHA Smart Medical Devices’ captures. Following a first analysis, E-cardio will advice either to consult a cardiologist, to use the cardiovascular prediction solution or to access a bank of training sessions.

How to get a free check-up?

By november 2018, an experimental phase of the commercial strategy will be tested in France and the United States. Once the strategy is validated, stand-points (see image) will be deployed in pre-selected countries and users can have access to a free check-up in minutes at local drugstores and pharmacies.

And then…

As it has been said before, E-cardio is the door to a whole universe of services. After the first check-up, anyone can visit Farasha.Care platform and benefit from tele-consultation services, e-diagnosis, analysis of data and more.

The differentiating element of this solution is that it is entirely hosted in the blockchain to ensure a safe transfer and storage of the data. The team foresaw the use of FLB coins, their cryptocurrency, as the only payment method to guarantee fast & easy access to a cardiologist 24/7, reduced transaction costs and no exchange rate for international payments.

A practical case

Let’s take the example of Claire. She goes into a pharmacy and tests E-cardio on a stand-point. Assisted by Care Up or Heart Up, she measures her blood pressure and receives in her e-mail a first cardiovascular check-up and a set of recommendations according to the results.

Claire can either buy one of the smart medical devices to remote monitor her heart activity, or access directly to one of the services offered by the Farasha Ecosystem: prediction of heart pathologies, tele-consultation, e-diagnosis…

What was at the beginning a simple visit to the pharmacy, opened Claire to a ground-breaking platform of services that will ultimately make her more conscious of her heart health.
