Detection Of Heart Defects With Xbox 360

Some medical studies conclude that too much playing video games can be harmful to health. But now one game console that was popular the Xbox 360 Video Games can be used to save a life.

Computer scientist at the University of Warwick in England has found a way to detect heart defects and prevent heart attacks by using the Xbox Console 360. This new tool has more potential than the medical devices currently used, because this instrument can detect faster, better and cheaper than a computer system that is currently used to perform complex heart research.

The system used is based on a video game created by Simon Scarle on two years ago. Scarle change a chip in the console resulting graph is not a game. From the results it can provide data on how the electrical signals in the heart of a useful move to see if there are heart cells are damaged. In addition, this tool could allow physicians to identify defects or patients heart condition.

"It is very clever to accelerate the calculation of heart rhythm that is usually done within hours, can now be done in seconds," said Denis Noble, Director of Computational Physiology at Oxford University, as reported by TIME, Tuesday (29/9/2009).

Scarle find this idea from a game of "little shooter game" ever developed by him, which in this game players try to shoot down the enemy with is in this tool is meant heart. Developments of these tools do at the University of Sheffield in England.

Xbox 360 is not the only device that can be used for scientific research. At the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth in the United States, researchers using a Sony PlayStation to simulate black hole collisions in solving the mystery of space. But the difference between the Xbox Video Games developed for research related to health and save a life
