We're working a single lead ECG patch which we would like test in home environment for a long term period. What particular ECG electrode brands would you recommend for long term use (2-3 weeks)? What is the feedback you have heard from test subjects on comfort and usability with the same electrodes?
I am currently using foam based Ambu White sensor electrodes.
These monitoring devices are already on the market. The preferred leads should be I, II and V1. Each gives a different type of information. As far as feedback, obviously they are very convenient as long as the patient does not develop allergic reaction to the adhesive.
The other possibility might be to use those devices with a belt going around the chest. Electrodes are hidden in the belt itself; therefore, they give a non-standard signal. There is another problem, to wear any belt day and night might be at least annoying or it can cause some breathing difficulties.
