Cardiac Arrhythmia Telemetry; Conventional vs HeartWatch
Sponsor: HelpWear Inc.
Summary
Heart rhythm disorders are common and significantly impact the lives of those affected and their families. The main problems can be categorized as: a) atrial fibrillation or AF and atrial flutter, b) supra-ventricular tachycardia or SVT, c) excessively slow heart beats (i.e., bradycardia or pauses) and d) ventricular arrhythmias. These problems can be difficult to detect with currently available monitoring options as they are all worn for shorter terms or are an invasive implantable option. The HeartWatch is a longer term monitoring system that is worn on the upper arm, allows users to create a tag and pairs with an app on a smartphone allowing for correlation of symptoms.

HeartWatch
The HeartWatch is indicated for the extended diagnostic evaluation of patients with symptomatic and transient symptoms such as light-headedness, syncope, and palpitations, as well as patients at risk for arrhythmias, but without significant symptoms. It is an armband consisting of the main body of the device with an additional sensor located on the band. It is worn around the upper left arm to obtain heart electrical signals. The device is paired with the HelpWear application on a smartphone where the signals are stored and then will be uploaded to a secure network for analysis.
