Is there any such thing currently, or in the works, as a wireless Holter Monitor?
Question : Is there any such thing currently, or in the works, as a wireless Holter Monitor?
I think that’d be pretty nice. :) I’m not sure if it’d be possible/desirable, though, since it’s probably like a heart rate monitor (for exercising) and has a slight chance of interfering with another and messing them all up if you get close enough or whatever. I was just curious, and kind of hoping that there is a wireless one instead of having to have two bazillion catchy wires and this clanky bulky box thing…

Telemetry in hospitals where they monitor the the patient’s heart is wireless and it would be a simple matter of increasing the strength of the signal for greater distances. They monitor astronaut’s hearts in space continuously.
