Accordingly, at least seven electrodes must be attached to the patient, and the information collected must be displayed on the Holter screen with a minimum error. So scientists say they are researching a small ZIO device like a piece of tape, sticking it on the patient's chest, both less annoying and providing more accurate information.

The heart rate monitor Zodiac patch was developed by iRythm Technology, headquartered in San Francisco (USA). The ZIO is a small, water-resistant heart rate monitor that can work continuously for up to two weeks. Patients can still work comfortably and not be dependent on the current flow meter heart rate.

UPI conducted a study of 146 patients over 14 days, indicating that the ZIO works quite well, if the analysis of the data that the abnormal sense of the machine sends Information for both patients and physicians.
