Re:Launch HN: SafeBeat Rx (YC S21)- At-home ECG software to ... by ttcbj on Tuesday August 24, 2021 @02:51PM (#28293215)
My 72 year old mother was just in the hospital for 5 days with AFib (not her first). We had an escalating series of interventions and procedures, none of which proved effective. By the end, I suspected she had been substantially over treated, at high cost to medicare and with high risk of complications.

So, I think this is a great idea.

She is currently waiting for an ablation, which was a close call vs leaving her in it, but she wanted to try it.
