With such a great focus on early detection & management of atrial fibrillation, most clinicians are turning to the long term continuous wearable Holter patch such as the ZIO Patch or the EZecg Patch as the first line of monitoring. From improving your fitness and performance to managing your heart health and stress levels, there are plenty of beneficial reasons to use a heart rate monitor. And medical staff is evolving to this method of monitoring due to the ease of application and easy to explain the simple event button for elderly or challenged patients.įrom a clinical utility point of view, most physicians are now focused on monitoring methods that are easier for the patient to wear for extended monitoring durations. Feeling an irregularity in your heartbeat is a scary experience but patch monitors can aid your doctor in diagnosis. Most clinicians now report a significant increase in patient compliance with wearable patch monitoring as most patients say they actually ‘forget’ that they are even wearing a monitor. A chest strap remains the most accurate way to track your heart rate for exercise, putting an EKG sensor closest to your heart. Further, the wearable patch is much preferred by patients since there are no lead wires, no need to remove the monitor to shower (water resistant) and the simplicity to report a symptom. The Development of a wearable sensor that can monitor a heart rate and body temperature based on ESP8266 NodeMCU microcontroller is proposed in this project.

Much of the clinical evidence has concluded that there is substantial clinical value in detecting abnormal cardiac arrhythmias with 3-14 times more ECG data than traditional 24 hours. Your heart rate is measured with the optical heart rate sensor on the back of your wearable device, which measures the blood flow changes in your wrist by.

Traditional 24 hour Holter monitoring has evolved substantially in recent years due to the advent of a wearable 3-14 day long term continuous monitoring or long term Holter monitoring patch.
