Summary:

«Continuous heart health monitoring is infinitely more useful than the single readings typically generated during a visit to a doctor’s office. Continuous monitoring for longer durations lessens the chance of missing heart rhythm problems. We’ve written about continuous ECG monitoring devices such as the Zio Patch since 2016. I’ve used a Zio Patch twice, for 3 days and for the device’s maximum 14-day duration. Current wearable patch devices typically collect a single type of measurement for a limited time.»

«Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia are developing a multifunctional, continuous ECG wearable heart monitor for longer than current duration limits. Thanks to the National Institutes of Health, the research team has funds to take the development much further.»
