Tuesday and Wednesday weren't fun with my first atrial fibrillation experience. Zero stars, would not recommend. I WOULD recommend the Samsung Watch... it identified what was going on. After 5 hours in the ER, I'm feeling better. I'll be wearing this heart monitor for 14 days, and I have more doctor appointments ahead, but I'm okay. Thank you to the doctors and nurses at St. Vincent's / Intermountain Health!

I got a heart monitor put on today. I have to wear it for 48 hours. It is not to bad to wear except that the big sticker in the middle if my chest itches like crazy. None of the other stickers itch. So, idk. #health #heartmonitor #heart #pots #cardiology
I packed up and returned the #HeartMonitor today. That annoyance is out of my life for now, anyway. I had another symptomatic episode today after the monitor was gone. I used my Smartwatch and performed an ECG.
The algorithm classifies results as sinus rhythm, #AFib, or "inconclusive." Of course this one came back inconclusive. That's also what it said on the ones that put me on the monitor in the first place. So, I sent the report to the cardiologist.

It may be sensitive to body position. It started working again almost immediately after I sat up straight to do something. Then I leaned back in my desk chair, and almost immediately got "poor skin contact" again. To test that theory, I sat up bolt straight again. Yes, it started monitoring again. No relaxing for me this weekend? 🤷♀️
No sooner did I post this, then 2 minutes later, it went back to monitoring. 🤷♀️
This thing is really frustrating.
It seems like I will be going off the heart monitor this morning, until the new supplies I have requested arrive on Monday.
The "poor skin contact" notification is now apparently continuous. The customer support for the monitor told me that if that continues for one hour, to go ahead and remove it. It's not doing any good at that point.
I'm fairly certain that it's already past that hour, but I'll watch it more closely for the next hour.
Oh this is interesting. Among the risk factors for atrial flutter is "women". That and "older age" seem to be the only listed factors that I currently qualify for.
"Women". A risk factor for a heart issue. You'd think they could have come up with a better way to express that.
I got a call a little while ago from the cardiologist. Two days ago, the monitor recorded an episode of AFib and atrial flutter in the evening. So, I guess it was worthwhile going through the discomfort from the skin irritation.
It's official. I have AFib. My stroke risk is currently considered low (1% / year). He's referring me to an electrophysiologist, so he's concerned. That's a type of specialist I'd never heard of before.

Sew-able Carbon Nanotube Thread Could Spin a Lot of Awesome
Plenty of people just plain dislike wearing jewelry, even (or especially) smart watches. Nevertheless, they'd like to have biofeedback like everybody else. Well, we watch-less ones have something to look forward to, because a group of graduate students at Rice University have created extremely strong conductive thread woven from carbon nanotubes, which can be sewn into standard athletic clothing and used as electrodes, antennas, or simply as ballistic protection.
At 22 microns wide, the original carbon nanotubes were too skinny to use as thread. Instead, the team braided together three bundles of seven 'tubes each using the type of machine that model boat builders use to make tiny rigging. Then they zig-zag stitched the threads into a shirt, which gives the stitches added flexibility. This thread maybe as strong and conductive as metal, but the fibers are soft and flexible, and most importantly, machine-washable. Between its strength and conductivity, this thread could have a long list of applications from military down to civilian. Check out the introduction in the video after the break.
For now, the shirt has to be pretty snug, but future garments could easily have higher concentrations of nano-threads in order to get a better signal. Good thing, because we're still carrying around our COVID nineteen -- aka the weight we've gained since the longest March of anyone's life, and never liked tight shirts anyway.
What else can carbon nanotubes do? Plenty, like keep 3D prints from delaminating.

An LED Heartbeat Display You Can Wear On Your Sleeve
There are a few different ways to take a person's pulse, with varying utility depending on the categories said patient fits in to. [Nitin Nair]'s method doesn't really have a medical application, but it's certainly a neat example of what you can do with modern sensors.
The build combines an EmotiBit sensor platform with an Adafruit Feather and accompanying Charlieplexed LED module. The EmotiBit packs a PPG, or photoplethysmogram sensor, otherwise known as a pulse oximeter, which uses optical methods to detect changes in blood volume beneath the skin. From this data, a pulse rate can be derived, and the LEDs flashed with a heart graphic in concert with the rhythm of the wearer's heart. The benefit of the PPG in the EmotiBit is that it can be worn on the wearer's arm, or other location with suitable vascularization. This allows the wearer to place the sensor on the arm, and thus wear their heart on their sleeve.
It's a cool concept, and we'd love to see it neatly packaged with a smoothly animated fade as a sports accessory. It'd be an easy way to signal how fast your heart rate recovers on a run with friends - the device could brag about your fitness for you. Alternatively, if pulse oximetry isn't enough for you, go ahead and build an ECG instead!
