Hello Members,
Heart rate monitors are part and parcel of smartwatches and fitness trackers now, but electrocardiogram (ECG) is the new sensor in town.
It helps people keep closer tabs on their heart health and can even be used to help identify atrial fibrillation (Afib) a serious medical condition that is leading cause of stroke.
How it works ?
In watches, have optical heart rate monitors inside them. This monitor uses flashing LEDs to penetrate the skin and detect blood flow. When light is reflected off the flow of blood, it captures by the sensors. The algorithm then gets to work to turn that into an estimation of your heart rate. Rather than measuring blood flow, its designed to measure how well your heart is working.
Why you buy an ECG smartwatch ?
ECG smartwatch can detect if you have atrial fibrillation, a condition that causes an irregular heart rate, and is a leading cause of strokes.
Taking an ECG reading on your watch can tell you if you have a health heart rhythm - Very important in today's busy life.
