# Noninvasive Heart-Tracking Devices The 'Heartsense' Monitor Replaces Traditional Holter Devices By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-09-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartsense-monitor References: [cam.ac.uk](https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/low-cost-ai-heart-monitor-developed-by-cambridge-start-up) & [cambridgeheartwear](http://www.cambridgeheartwear.com/) Getting an accurate reading of a persons heart traditionally requires a holter to be worn for 24 hours or longer which can be quite inconvenient, so the 'Heartsense' monitor has been developed as an alternative for healthcare professionals to utilize. Developed at [Cambridge University](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portioniq), the unit works by being worn on the chest and keeping an eye on how your heart is working thanks to a three-point ECG. The unit will also measure blood oxygen saturation as well as body core temperature to provide a detailed analysis of how the patient is by taking multiple data points into consideration. The 'Heartsense' monitor is presently being commercialized under the [Cambridge Heartwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-popup) brand and is likely to cost far less than traditional devices. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Noninvasive Heart-tracking Devices:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: The development of noninvasive heart-tracking devices provides a convenient alternative to traditional holter devices, allowing for continuous heart monitoring without the need for extended wear. - **Wearable Health Monitoring:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: The advent of wearable health monitoring devices, such as the 'Heartsense' monitor, opens up new possibilities for healthcare professionals to remotely monitor patients and gather real-time data for analysis and diagnosis. - **Healthcare Technology Advancements:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: The use of advanced technology, such as three-point ECG, blood oxygen saturation measurement, and body core temperature monitoring, in noninvasive heart-tracking devices paves the way for more accurate and comprehensive patient assessments. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Healthcare Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: The development and commercialization of noninvasive heart-tracking devices create opportunities for healthcare technology companies to improve patient care and enhance medical diagnostics. - **Wearable Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: The integration of heart-tracking capabilities into wearable devices opens up new possibilities for the wearable technology industry, allowing for personalized health monitoring and remote patient management. - **Medical Devices:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: The emergence of noninvasive heart-tracking devices disrupts the medical device industry by offering a more convenient, affordable, and accurate alternative to traditional heart monitoring devices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [ECG-Monitoring T-Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viscero-vest.md) - [Headphone-Shaped Vital Signs Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vital-signs-monitors.md) - [Advanced Heart-Tracking Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultrasound-patch.md) - [Smartphone-Connected Heart Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mfine-1.md) - [Vital Sign-Monitoring Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xk300-sensor.md) - [Wearable Ultrasound Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-ultrasound.md) - [Pebble-Like Heart Health Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-stethoscope.md) - [AI Heart Health Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faceheart-cardiomirror.md) - [Virtual Heart Rate Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-listener.md)
