The Zio monitor is a long-term cardiac monitoring device that measures ECG data to detect cardiac arrhythmias. By miniaturising the electronics and optimising power consumption, the device is 23 per cent thinner, 62 per cent lighter and 72 per cent smaller than the previous model, which significantly improves wearer comfort. The asymmetrical adhesive surface ensures a secure hold in everyday use. The system employs AI analyses to enable precise diagnoses. Patients can monitor their symptoms via the MyZio app.
