An apparatus and method for predicting potentially fatal arrhythmias up to twenty four hours in advance of the event by employing formulas indicating either too little or too much heart rate variability. A number of these formulas have both predetermined upper and lower limits, which if exceeded for a period of time are a predictor of a potentially fatal arrhythmia. When a patient's ALARM condition is predicted, whether the patient is indoors or outdoors, conscious or unconscious, a redundant protocol is utilized to relay that ALARM condition to a central monitoring station. The central monitoring station informs the patient's doctor, and then uses what ever means are available to transport the patient to the nearest emergency room for treatment. An apparatus and method for pacing the heart in a natural way, once a potentially fatal arrhythmia has been predicted is also disclosed.

The present invention is directed to the development of a biosensor based on the immuno-chromatographic method that can provide an assay speed and convenience required for point-of-care (the doctor's office and emergency room) testing or home-version diagnosis. Though certain physical symptoms, such as pregnancy and ovulation, or bacterial infection may be identified by a qualitative analysis for the presence of indicating substances, most analytes for clinical investigation demand their concentrations known in specimens. Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have developed a novel biosensor by combining the immuno-chromatographic method and the electric conductivity detection technology so that on-site quantitative determination at the points of care or at home may be carried out.
