What can we do? There are electronic devices available that can be worn like a necklace. Pushing the button on them summons help. Two brands are Life Alert and Lifefone. That works if you have some warning of a potentially lethal event. What happens if there is no warning or you don't recognize it? We need a device that detects the absence of a heartbeat and automatically summons help. Implantable cardiac defibrillators could be modified to send an alarm when a heartbeat becomes too irregular or stops. I suggested this to some local bioengineers. The technology is available to automatically monitor your health it just takes someone to develop it.
