Enhancing Mental Health Patient Care: Using Handheld ECG Devices

This webinar addresses the complexities of antipsychotic medication management, emphasising how handheld ECG devices can improve care for mental health patients. It highlights the benefits of using AliveCor's technology, including quick and accurate ECG readings, increased accessibility for detecting cardiac abnormalities like prolonged QT intervals, and reduced stress for psychiatric patients by allowing tests in familiar settings. This approach enhances both patient comfort and the efficiency of psychiatric services.
