With 6-figure Dr. Oz Investment, iBeat Launches Heart-monitoring Watch
Health tech startup iBeat launched the pre-ordering phase of its heart-monitoring watch on Indiegogo, giving the company time to build out a commercial market and establish the device, iBeat Life Monitor, as a tool for preventing sudden death from cardiac arrest or stroke. Backed by Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of the “Dr. Oz Show,” and founded by former Practice Fusion CEO Ryan Howard, the iBeat Life Monitor aims to build upon previous technologies like Life Alert to provide a 24/7 dispatch team in the event of a major cardiac event. The watch continuously monitors heart rate and oxygen uptake, and if the wearer’s metrics go outside a healthy parameter, it contacts the wearer, asking if they are ok. If they have the capacity to respond “no” by pushing a button, or if the wearer cannot respond at all, the dispatch team then notifies emergency responders as well as family and friends.

A recusation demand submitted by arrested Iranian-Turkish businessman Reza Zarrab’s lawyers against his case’s judge has been rejected for “lacking merit,” despite the defense’s attempts to validate the demand by quoting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Southern District of New York judge Richard Berman rejected the Aug. 30 demand from the defense for his replacement, saying that it lacked merit, adding that the defense did not appeal for such a demand during the first hearing of the case on April 27, even though it had been announced by the judge himself that he attended a panel in Istanbul in 2014 and made critical statements about the Turkish legal system, an incident which later formed the basis of the defense’s recusation appeal.
