The pocket size tool was a Kardia.

I don't know what that man did to have the karma to have a heart attack on a plane with a cardiologist carrying a 12-lead and a full pharmacy, but he should keep doing it.

Seems like a glorified ad for Kardia. The article also states
When he got to a hospital he was diagnosed with no heart attack and it the article never specifies what condition they had if any.
