When it comes to remote cardiac monitoring, also known as remote ECG monitoring, choosing the right external cardiac monitor is crucial for effective heart health management. Devices that offer real-time data transmission and reliable connectivity can make all the difference in catching issues early. This blog post discusses how to choose the right device and why cellular-enabled heart monitors are becoming the preferred option.
What to Look for in an External Cardiac Monitor
When selecting an external heart monitor for continuous remote cardiac monitoring, consider factors such as:
- Battery Life: A long-lasting battery ensures uninterrupted monitoring.
- Comfort: Since the device is worn for extended periods, comfort is key. Devices like Biotricity’s Biocore are versatile and can be worn in two different positions by patients, ensuring their comfort is maximized to improve study compliance.
- Connectivity: Devices with built-in cellular technology ensure reliable data transmission without relying on an external device like a cellphone.

The Role of Remote ECG Monitoring in Early Diagnosis
Heart disease is difficult to diagnose because symptoms occur intermittently (or randomly) and patients can be asymptomatic (without symptoms).

Real-time data transmission from cellular-enabled monitors ensures that healthcare providers are immediately alerted when abnormalities are detected.
