As part of the integration, Fitbit users can now download the Cardiogram app and use it to monitor heart rate and sleep tracking. Users will also have access to Cardiogram detection technology, which has been validated to identify hypertension, sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation. KardiaMobile is a portable electrocardiogram (ECG or ECG). It can detect a wide range of cardiac arrhythmias, which can be an early sign of atrial fibrillation, heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes.
The sooner arrhythmias are detected, the easier it will be to control them. If the condition is not detected early, serious complications can occur. In the study, when possible atrial fibrillation was detected, the subject completed a telehealth consultation with a physician and then received an electrocardiogram (ECG) patch to use for one week in conjunction with the physical activity tracker. Therefore, the goal would be to use the physical activity tracker during sleep, when it can best track irregular heart rhythms.
You're counting your steps, tracking your workouts and measuring your sleep with your portable activity monitor. The first results have been revealed from a massive study that tested a new algorithm designed to detect irregular heart rhythms using data from smartwatches and physical activity trackers. Conducted by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), the study recruited about 455,000 users of physical activity trackers in the United States. He is also the chief tester of fitness trackers and running watches, treadmills and exercise bikes, and training headphones.
After meeting with the telehealth doctor, participants were given a one-week electrocardiogram (ECG) patch monitor to wear along with the smartwatch or fitness tracker.
