Potable Mobile ECG Monitor | Records a Cardiac Rhythm Strip using a Smartphone App
A wireless electrocardiography (ECG) device is a type of ECG with recording devices. It uses wireless technologies, such as bluetooth, smartphone, and other types of remote monitoring devices. These devices can be used for the continuous monitoring of patients suffering from CVD and for the detection of heart-related problems.

Availability of portable and home‐based electrocardiography (ECG) is an important medical innovation, which has a potential to transform medical care. We performed this review to understand the current state of out‐of‐hospital portable ECG technologies with respect to their scope, ease of use, data transmission capabilities, and diagnostic accuracy.
We conducted Mobile ECG and Internet searches for “handheld” or “wearable” or “patch” electrocardiography devices to enlist available technologies.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are leading cause of mortality worldwide, accounting for 17.3 million deaths per year, a number that is expected to grow to more than 23.6 million by 2030.
Early recognition of cardiovascular manifestations such as angina, dyspnea, palpitations, and syncope is emphasized, and patients with such symptom need to visit their doctors for evaluation. Performing electrocardiography (ECG), a modality that can detect life‐threatening conditions (such as ventricular or atrial arrhythmias, or ischemic changes in the ST segment), is used in healthcare facilities for initial assessment of such symptoms. ECG is useful as in the presence of acute chest pain as ST‐segment elevation suggests myocardial ischemia in more than 90% instances,and ST depression in more than 60% instances.In addition, ECG changes also suggest abnormalities in cardiac chambers, serum electrolyte levels, and certain drug toxicities.Evaluation of cardiac rhythm for extended periods of time is rewarding for detection of arrhythmias. The diagnostic yield is increased by 15% to 39% by a 24‐hour recording.
Innovations in sensor technologies have made it possible to record electric impulses from heart in the absence of conventional ECG machines. Many such technologies are wearable and can record cardiac impulses for extended periods of time. This advancement has a potential to enhance utility of this technique in out‐of‐hospital settings such as within households, endurance trainings, sports training, and public places.
