The Equivital LifeMonitor measures ambulatory heart rate and breathing rate, which can be stored on its board memory for later download or transmitted in real-time to be viewed and analysed.
The heart rate is available every 5 seconds, 15 seconds or even beat by beat. Alongside this, the raw ECG waveform sampled at 256Hz is also stored and can be transmitted. Two leads of ECG is used to calculate heart rate and reduce noise, resulting in more accurate heart rate data during high activity. Unlike other heart rate monitors that simply measure the pulse, the LifeMonitor measures and stores the whole QRS complex which allows more detailed analysis. Read more.
