How Wearable ECG Patches Are Catching Hidden Heart Issues

Lucas and Luna explore how wearable ECG patches are detecting arrhythmias that standard checkups miss. They discuss the landmark Apple Heart Study that screened over 400,000 participants, the shift from 24-hour Holter monitors to 14-day continuous patches, and real-world cases where a patch caught atrial fibrillation in people with zero symptoms. They also unpack the regulatory landscape—how the FDA cleared these devices and what the data actually shows about false positives. Finally, they touch on the affordability gap: prescription-only patches vs. over-the-counter consumer wearables with ECG capabilities. A focused look at how sticking a sensor on your chest for two weeks might save your life. #WearableECG #HeartHealth #AtrialFibrillation #AppleHeartStudy #HolterMonitor #CardiacMonitoring #FDA #Arrhythmia #WearableTech #HealthTech #MedicalDevices #ContinuousMonitoring #FitnessTrackers #Smartwatches #DigitalHealth #PreventiveCare #Technology #FexingoBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
