Health Awareness To Drive Wireless Ambulatory Telemetry Monitors Market

Posted On: September 9, 2019

Ambulatory telemetry monitors imply use of lightweight, portable equipment for recording the patient’s heart’s electrical activity without disturbing his/her routine. This monitoring could go on for several days/weeks. The basic objective of an ambulatory telemetry monitor is that of checking if factors like chest pain, fainting, dizziness, or shortness of breath are caused by disturbance in heart’s rhythmic functioning.

Telemetry monitors have been used since long to monitor 1-2 parameters of heart patients. However, technological advancements of late have rendered these devices empowered for monitoring 3-4 parameters on an average. Wireless ambulatory telemetry monitors are generally found in stroke units, cardiac units, step down & step up units, and coronary care units.

To be taken care of

•    Let the monitor and communicator be kept in each other’s vicinity. If this distance happens to be more than 15 feet, an alarm would beep.
•    Keeping the entire equipment dry would help in avoiding electrical conduction.
