to a silent heart attack.
심장마비로 돌아가셨습니다.
shocking was that at 75,
당시 75세였던 할아버지가
healthy and energetic,
건강하고 활력이 넘쳤다는 거예요.
너무 고통스러워서
against this deadly killer
싸워 보기로 결정했죠.
the results of recent studies
of nearly eight million people
when arteries get clogged,
in the heart muscles start to die.
세포들은 점차 죽기 시작하죠.
symptoms of a heart attack:
증상은 알고들 계실 거예요.
of breath, fatigue, et cetera ...
호흡 곤란, 피로감 등이 있죠.
that is quite common,
조금은 다른 유형의 심장마비가 있어요.
because the symptoms are silent.
발견하기가 어렵죠.
just don't realize what's happening,
몸에서 일어나는 일들을 느끼지 못합니다.
to receive the treatment that they need
꼭 필요한 치료를 받기 어렵다는 거에요.

they are struck by a heart attack,
병원을 찾게 된다 하더라도

위험 환자셨던 거죠.
to understand the heart,
최대한 많은 자료들을 읽고
and worked across labs in India.
다양한 연구실에서 일 했죠.

3년 간의 끈질긴 연구 끝에
is a promising solution.

and analyzing data at preset intervals.
정보를 수집하고 분석합니다.
for a single purpose:
오직 한 가지의 목적으로 수집됩니다.
that might help us in the future.
매우 획기적인 해결책입니다.
your heart really is.
얼마나 똑똑한지 모르실 겁니다.

우리 몸에 많은 신호들을 보내려 해요.
통해서 말이죠.

that are SOS messages --

오직 이 데이터에만 의존합니다.
biomarkers are found

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Akash Manoj - InventorAkash Manoj developed a novel technique that can non-invasively detect and alert at-risk patients of a potential asymptomatic heart-attack.
Why you should listen
Akash Manoj lost his grandfather due to a silent heart attack when he was thirteen. Silent heart attacks strike at-risk patients who are affected by nerve damage. Unlike most teenagers, inspired by the intricacies of the problem, Manoj translated his emotions into social motivation and, eventually, into action. At the end of three years of research and experiments funded by the Government of India at various labs across India, including SRISTI-BIRAC, he developed a novel technique that can non-invasively detect and alert at-risk patients of a potential asymptomatic heart-attack. His method involves transcutaneously isolating, identifying, spectroscopically analyzing, and sensing elevation in the levels of a cardiac biomarker called h-FABP in realtime -- a process that significantly establishes a path to preventative cardiovascular healthcare.
Manoj was awarded at the Intel ISEF 2018 and was conferred with the nation's highest honor (National Child Award for Exceptional Achievement | Gold Medallion) by the President of India.
