Manufacturing Components for Wearable Stick-to-Skin Cardiac Monitoring Devices
Wearable cardiac patches and extended-wear ECG monitors are ultra-thin, flexible devices that adhere directly to the chest for continuous arrhythmia detection, heart-rate variability tracking, and remote patient monitoring. These single-use or short-term devices (typically 7–21 days of wear) combine medical-grade adhesives, stretchable electronics, and wireless connectivity in a skin-conformable format.
Holter and Event Monitors These small, adhesive patches with built-in electrodes continuously record your heart’s electrical activity (ECG/EKG) for days or weeks. Standard Holter monitors capture data non-stop, while event monitors can either be triggered by the patient when symptoms occur or automatically detect and save irregular rhythms. Doctors commonly prescribe them to diagnose intermittent arrhythmias that might not show up during a short in-office ECG.
Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillators (WCDs) For individuals at temporary high risk of sudden cardiac arrest, devices such as the ZOLL LifeVest are worn directly against the skin under regular clothing. The vest constantly analyzes heart rhythm and, if it detects a dangerous arrhythmia, can deliver an immediate life-saving shock—no bystander intervention required.
Multi-Parameter Monitoring Patches Next-generation adhesive patches go far beyond basic heart monitoring. Cutting-edge designs developed by research teams can simultaneously track heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and even analyze sweat for real-time levels of glucose, lactate, alcohol, and other biomarkers, offering a comprehensive picture of your health from a single wearable device.
Flexible & Stretchable Electronics Modern skin-worn devices use ultra-flexible, stretchable circuits that move naturally with your body. This advanced technology ensures superior signal accuracy and all-day comfort, even during exercise or daily routines, while reliably measuring ECG, breathing patterns, temperature, motion, and more.
