Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

Background:

Wearable devices offer significant potential for health behavior awareness and chronic disease management.
A lack of standardized guidance exists for researchers selecting wearable technologies for studies.
This study addresses the need for a systematic approach to evaluating consumer-grade wearable devices for research purposes.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a framework for the rapid, systematic evaluation and selection of consumer-grade wearable devices for research studies.
To guide researchers in choosing technologies aligned with specific study objectives, target populations, and contextual factors.

Main Methods:

A wearable evaluation framework was developed using existing literature and expert experience.
The framework was tested using case studies for aging-in-place and gestational diabetes research projects.
Prioritization of criteria was informed by target population knowledge, research goals, and project requirements.

Main Results:

The developed framework comprises 27 distinct evaluation criteria across user experience, device functionality, and research infrastructure.
Ten devices from four vendors were evaluated using the framework.
The Withings Steele HR, Garmin Vivosmart HR+, and Garmin Forerunner 35 were selected for further user studies.

Conclusions:

A novel framework facilitates the rapid evaluation of consumer wearable devices for research suitability.
The framework aids in systematically narrowing down device options for specific research projects, rather than identifying a single best device.
Further refinement of the framework is planned through its application in diverse research settings.
