1. A portable system for remotely monitoring a cardiac condition of an individual, comprising:
- a portable electrocardiogram apparatus that is configured to be physically connected to the individual and to physically accompany the individual, the electrocardiogram apparatus includes a main branch having;
a main module that is configured to perform activation functions of the electrocardiogram apparatus for monitoring the cardiac condition of the individual;
an ECG module that is configured to carry out ECG exams evaluated by algorithms provided by a DNA module for checking cardiac intercurrences;
the DNA module that is configured to detect cardiac intercurrences via a probabilistic neural network;
a GSM module that is configured to perform a two-way communication between the electrocardiogram apparatus and a monitoring center via GSM/GPRS;
a GPS module that is configured to read GPS data from the electrocardiogram apparatus and retrieve latitude and longitude coordinates;
an XYZ module that is configured to read and evaluate coordinates of an accelerometer for fall detection.

Abstract
A method, a system and an apparatus for remotely monitoring a cardiac condition in an individual in which there is provided a non-invasive, mobile and portable solution including hardware, software, and a back-office application allowing an autonomous and smart remote monitoring. Two-way communication is provided between the cardiac monitoring apparatus and a monitoring center, which allows sending of data of the patient being monitored to the monitoring center, as well as allowing the monitoring center or a clinician to request a new exam on demand.
