GPS Used to Test Peripheral Artery Disease
Athletes use GPS receivers to track their speed, distance and more. Now, doctors are using it to test for the extent of peripheral artery disease. The normal test uses a treadmill to track how long a patient can walk until pain stops them. The treadmill can measure quite a few things at one, but since the test is done only once, there’s no way to average over a few days. Using GPS and letting patients stroll in the park offers what might be better data.
