The days of keeping a patient in the hospital for cardiac monitoring are over. Many patients cannot afford to spend the night in a hospital because the costs are too high. Additionally, most patients have no need to spend the night in a hospital since they are only having their heart monitored. With modern technology, it is possible for doctors to monitor cardiac activity while allowing patients to live their lives in a normal way. There are a variety of advancements made to the cardiac monitor that are highly beneficial to doctors and patients. Real-Time Activity The problem with old-fashioned cardiac monitoring was that the results had to be downloaded from a mobile machine. A patient would have to wear a monitor for 24 hours and then go into the doctor’s office for the results to be seen. Now, doctors can either schedule the results to be sent or patients can hit a button to send the results. All of the numbers can be seen in real-time, ensuring that cardiac monitoring is done properly. Wireless There is no need for patients to be strapped to the bed for cardiac monitoring anymore. While patients will still have wires on them and to the machine, nothing has to be plugged in. Many are able to wear a monitor and go to the grocery store and even work so they can proceed through the day as normal. New technology has provided batteries that last longer and are lighter so that patients can have a more productive day – and have their heart monitored outside of hospital walls. Mobile Mobility is a huge benefit as a result of modern technology. Computer chips have gotten smaller and new materials have been used in order to provide a mobile cardiac monitor. The primary benefit is that doctors can learn about a patient’s cardiac activity while they do day to day tasks. The secondary benefit is that the data can be sent over a wireless connection so that doctors have more mobility as well. There are many doctors that work in their own practice as well as in a hospital. If they have a patient in the hospital for cardiac monitoring, it would be impossible to spend time at their practice. Now with mobile monitors, doctors can essentially be in two places at once. With the other benefits to the mobile monitors, doctors can get alerted if there is a problem with a patient so they know what location they need to be in. Alerts Alerts can actually be sent to the doctor when cardiac monitoring shows something that could be troubling. This will ensure that a doctor can call the patient and find out what they are doing or order them to come into the hospital if there are unusual rhythms or a high/low pulse situation. Doctors are able to monitor more patients when they can receive alerts, making it possible for more patients to get a higher level of healthcare. eCardio Diagnostics provides an array of cardiac monitoring solutions designed to optimize patient care, increase patient compliance and decrease the time required to diagnose an arrhythmia. eCardio partners with physicians nationwide to provide leading-edge cardiac monitors and heart monitoring solutions for faster, more accurate arrhythmia monitoring and diagnosis.
