Continuous 24 hours ECG (heart rate) monitoring is of great help for everyone, for example, patients with high risk of heart diseases, patients under long-term care, and personnel in critical environment like firefighters. However, current technologies failed to give comfort to the persons under ECG (heart rate) monitoring. Besides, ordinary activities cause serious motion artifact that spoils ECG (heart rate) signals; therefore, most persons who need to be monitored refuse to do it. Ming Young Biomedical Corporation developed a novel ECG (heart rate) electrode fully made by ordinary textile material to give comfort to the wearer of ECG (heart rate) shirt. Its patented slide structure makes it keeps closely contact to the wearer's body while walking or running, without sacrificing its comfort. It is washable and durable as well, and looks like an ordinary shirt. Thus, comfort and signal integrity can be realized and hence continuous 24 hours ECG (heart rate) monitoring can be done. By our ECG shirt, the emotion and respiratory rate of the wearer can also be analyzed by heart rate variability and ECG derived respiration tech, respectively.

The wearers are recommended to choose various size of ECG shirt to have suitable tightness for different daily activities to have both comfort and signal quality.

Heart beat signals

Standing still

walking

running

While walking and running, although the signals are interfered more or less,

It is still in the range that heart beat can be analyzed.

The ECG shirt is granted US, China, and Japan patents titled "Cloth comprising separable sensitive areas".

The ECG shirt is now patent pending.
