Wearing your heart on your sleeve: Google explores cardiac wristband

Google is testing a new wearable that can take an electrocardiogram and assess environmental stressors, according to a CNN Money report.

The cardiac wristband would be an avenue for physicians to remotely monitor patients' health. The technology in the device measures the heart's electrical pulses and skin temperature. Additionally, the band can detect changes in mobility, possibly opening the door for Parkinson's research.

Google X labs developed the cardiac wrist band, according to the report.
