Electrocardiogram (ECG)

Wearable Sensing’s DSI ECG are dry electrode sensors that have a wired connection directly to the DSI-24, DSI-7, or DSI Flex system. The sensors can be placed on the chest, and used to detect the electrical activity of the heart.

Introduction

ECG, or Electrocardiogram, is a technique for recording and interpreting the electrical activity of the heart. Electrodes are typically placed on the chest, near the heart, which are used to detect the small electrical changes that are a consequence of cardiac muscle depolarization followed by repolarization during each cardiac cycle. ECG can be used to measure the rate and regularity of heartbeats, the size and position of the chambers, presence of any damage to the heart, and other types of conditions that affect the heart. 

DSI Electrode Types

Wet Electrodes

DSI ECG can be equipped with snap-on sticky electrodes that can be easily placed anywhere on the body

Dry Electrodes

DSI ECG can be equipped with snap-on dry electrodes that can be secured on the body with a provided velcro harness
