Is there a devise that will monitor your heart rate and send a signal to help if your heart rate slows or stop

Answer 1

a pacemaker

Answer 2

A pacemaker monitors the heart for slowing continuously and emits an electrical impulse to stimulate the heart to contract if the heart slows below a certain set point.

Some of the newer pacemakers, but not all, can send messages to physicians. Most of the newer monitoring by a pacer and the message sent concerns indicators of decompensation of congestive heart failure, and not cessation of cardiac activity.
