A heart rate monitor (HRM) is a personal monitoring device that allows one to measure/display heart rate in real time or record the heart rate for later study. It is largely used to gather heart rate data while performing various types of physical exercise. Measuring electrical heart information is referred to as electrocardiography (ECG or EKG).
Peloton Interactive was founded in January 2012. [5] "Peloton" is a cycling term, meaning a large group of riders bunched together. [6] The company raised $400,000 in seed money in February 2012 and another $3.5 million in December 2012. [7] Peloton sold its first bike on Kickstarter in 2013 with an early bird price tag of $1,500. [8]
There are also devices which use similar technologies to monitor heart rate from the ear, forearm and chest, using a chest strap. [2] All of which still use similar mechanisms to provide unobstructed biometric data for individuals. One study compared the use of a pulse watch device and a forearm device in detecting heart rate during physical ...

The ILR monitors the electrical activity of the heart, continuously storing information in its circular memory (hence the name "loop" recorder) as electrocardiograms (ECGs). Abnormal electrical activity - arrhythmia is recorded by "freezing" a segment of the memory for later review.

A medical monitoring device displaying a normal human heart rate. Heart rate is the frequency of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions of the heart per minute (beats per minute, or bpm). The heart rate varies according to the body's physical needs, including the need to absorb oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide.
