Wearable Heart Monitor Patch

Due to the development of a wearable 3-14 day long-term continuous monitoring or long-term Holter monitoring patch, traditional 24-hour Holter monitoring has significantly changed in recent years.

A large body of clinical research has found that using 3–14 times more ECG data than the standard 24 hours can effectively detect aberrant cardiac rhythms. Patients also much appreciate the wearable patch because there are no lead wires, you can take a shower with it on thanks to its water resistance, and it's easy to report symptoms.

Since most patients indicate they really "forget" they are even wearing a monitor, the majority of doctors now report a considerable boost in patient compliance using wearable patch monitoring. Due to the simplicity of use and the ease with which elderly or physically challenged patients may understand the basic event button, medical personnel are transitioning to this technique of monitoring.

Most doctors are currently concentrating on monitoring techniques that are simpler for patients to wear for prolonged monitoring periods from the perspective of clinical value. The majority of doctors are using long-term continuous wearable Holter patches like the ZIO Patch or the EZecg Patch as their first line of monitoring because of the increased emphasis on the early diagnosis and management of atrial fibrillation.
