The study also showed initial MCOT monitoring achieved almost eight times lower costs, reducing total cost per patient by $189,909 compared to only monitoring with ILR. It also helped reduce secondary stroke risk from new anticoagulant use in patients with MCOT patch detected AFib. It has wires with silver dollar-sized electrodes that attach to your skin. BodyGuardian for patients The small, wearable monitor that lets you get on with your life while collecting data your physician will need to make a diagnosis. A powerful remote ECG device that delivers the data physicians require. The device is the size of a small camera. BodyGuardian remote cardiac monitor A comfortable, waterproof heart monitor that patients can wear 24/7. ![]() ![]() The study showed 30-day continuous monitoring with Philips’ BioTel Heart MCOT patch followed by an implantable loop recorder (ILR) improved atrial fibrillation (AFib) detection rate, spotting 4.6 times more patients with AFib than ILR alone. A Holter monitor is a battery-operated portable device that measures and records your heart’s activity ( ECG) continuously for 24 to 48 hours or longer depending on the type of monitoring used. This is another portable device used to analyze the hearts signaling. Philips released new research evaluating mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry (MCOT) for first-line diagnostic ambulatory monitoring of 1,000 post-cryptogenic stroke patients for a year. Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (MCT or MCOT) is an advanced cardiac monitoring device that automatically monitors, records, and transmits the abnormal heart rhythm. An event monitor is very similar to something called a Holter monitor. ![]()
