Newer devices such as cell phones or watches can be used to display and/or collect the information. Some devices can simultaneously monitor heart rate, oxygen saturation, and other parameters. These may include sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and GPS to detect speed, location and distance. [ 3 ]
Atrial fibrillation recorded by a Holter monitor. Older monitors used reel-to-reel tapes or C90 or C120 audio cassettes, moving at a 1.7 mm/s or 2 mm/s speed to record the data. The recording could be played back and analyzed at 60 times the recording speed, so 24 hours of recording could be analyzed in 24 minutes.
AFIB Technology (sometimes referred to as Microlife AFIB Technology) is a feature in sphygmomanometer devices that is designed to detect and monitor the incidence of atrial fibrillation in patients.

In a randomized controlled trial conducted in the UK, patients given an AliveCor EKG device to use at home were significantly more likely than control group patients to receive a timely and correct diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF). The 500 treatment-group patients recorded 60,440 EKGs at home throughout the study, and 76% of these were ...
The Watchman procedure helps those with atrial fibrillation (AFib). Medicare covers the surgery for eligible beneficiaries. AFib is a common heart rhythm disorder consisting of rapid and irregular ...
The Fitbit Classic was a small black and teal device that could be clipped and worn 24/7. It uses a three-dimensional accelerometer to sense user movement. The Tracker measures steps taken as well as user data to calculate distance walked, calories burned, floors climbed, and activity duration and intensity.
