The 28-day HeartBug monitor is a wearable ECG device designed to detect intermittent or infrequent heart rhythm abnormalities over an extended monitoring period. It continuously records the heart’s electrical activity and allows patients to trigger recordings during symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, or fainting, significantly improving diagnostic yield compared to shorter-duration monitors.

This form of long-term ambulatory monitoring is particularly valuable for capturing arrhythmias that may not be detected with routine testing. The device is discreet, lightweight, and designed to be worn comfortably throughout normal daily activities, including work and sleep. Data collected is reviewed by a cardiologist to identify clinically significant rhythm disturbances and inform further management.
