Review -As a young adult, it is very scary to be told that you have heart disease. I was diagnosed with tachycardia during a routine checkup. This means that my heart beats randomly for no reason. I also have no symptoms, so I didn’t even notice when it happened. It has become very important for me to accurately monitor my heart rate. I need something more complex than what my smartwatch can provide, and this is how I found Wellue ECG/EKG Monitor. It allows me to monitor my heart 24/7 without interfering with my daily activities, and it is discrete enough that no one around me will notice it. It also allows me to download all data from the device and analyze it through artificial intelligence so that I can pay close attention to my heart condition. If something goes wrong, I can send the data to my doctor for more in-depth review. For me, this is a great way to monitor the condition of the heart, without the need for frequent doctor appointments and the use of large machines.

Design and features
The design of the display is simple. It has an “R” on the front to indicate which side should be on your right side when wearing it, and there is also an LED indicator. The LED goes out when it is out of power, turns yellow when charging, and turns green when fully charged. It will also flash according to the mode the device is in. A yellow flashing indicates that the battery is low, and a green flashing very slowly indicates that it is in standby mode. The green flashing is synchronized with your heartbeat when you wear it. There are two electrode buckles on the back and power contacts for charging and data transmission. The gray part in the middle is very flexible, allowing the device to fit your body more comfortably.
There are two ways to wear the Wellue ECG/EKG monitor: chest strap or electrode. I personally prefer to wear it with electrode stickers, but I am allergic to prolonged contact with adhesives, so I alternate between chest straps and stickers. The sticker is fabric with a small metal snap button in the middle and conductive gel on the back. The chest strap is soft and elastic, with snaps to attach the display to it, and has a classic bikini fastener, suitable for those of us who know what they are. The inside of the strap is a plastic-like strap that needs to be moistened before putting it on to achieve the best conductivity.
Since this is not That For that kind of website, I didn’t take any photos of me wearing the device, but it’s very simple to use. The chest strap fits tightly to the end of your breastbone. It does not need to be very tight, but it cannot slip off either. I found it took some trial and error to adjust it, but once I set it up, it was so comfortable to wear, I hardly even noticed it. I can even sleep with a chest strap, and it doesn’t move or slip off.
The electrode stickers are a bit difficult to use at first, but they don’t need to be fiddled all day long. The right electrode is placed a few inches below the intersection of the collarbone and the neck, while the left electrode is placed down in your armpit at a 45° angle. I found that the easiest way is to place the correct electrode first, then snap it to the monitor, and then align the second electrode that is slightly peeled off on the back.
After determining the wearing method, buckle the display with the “R” on the right side of your body. The device will vibrate to let you know that you are properly connected to it, and it will start flashing in sync with your heart rate. The display can store up to 30 hours of data before starting to overwrite the oldest information, so it is recommended to download the data every day to prevent any data from being deleted.
software
The software to download and analyze data from the monitor is easy to set up. You create an account for them and fill in some general information about yourself. After finishing all the settings, all you have to do is to connect the monitor to the computer with the power/data cable, and then select download data in the upper right corner. After importing all the data, you can let the AI system analyze it or view ECG.
The analysis can take a considerable amount of time, so don’t expect immediate results. However, once the data is analyzed, it will provide you with a very clear report.
The report summarizes all the events that occurred and the highest and lowest heart rates. I had a supraventricular heartbeat that it recognized several times, and then it also showed its electrocardiogram. This is a great report that can be sent to your doctor along with the original ECG for them to analyze and make sure everything is in order.
