Mobile ECG Devices Selection: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death across the globe. Therefore, it is critical to detect them at an early stage, while an electrocardiogram (ECG) presents a widely used tool for making diagnosis. There is a large number of ECG devices on the market, with different features that suit a wide range of users, but simultaneously it poses a problem for the end user because they have a difficulty in selecting the appropriate device for their exact needs. Current trends in the usage of contemporary mobile ECG devices are identified and analyzed. In this study authors reviewed numerous mobile ECG devices with either FDA approval or CE mark that are currently available on the market. All listed devices are presented with all technical features that could be found. Furthermore, an interactive sunburst diagram for the selection of mobile ECG devices is created, and published, to help everyone easily make a selection.
