I get the JO on this one!

Already hooked a Howler Monkey Ignor-ant.

This tech has existed and has been used for years.

I’ve had one for a couple of years. It’s about the size of a AAA battery split in half. If I feel anything funny with my heart, I put my little fob up next to it, press a button and it “marks the spot” on the recording and the doc can zero in on that time on the recording to see if there was anything to be concerned about.

It was implanted at the end of en EMG procedure on my heart.

Understood.

This chip supposedly needs no intermediate device and again, “supposedly”, can detect a wide range of abnormalities that the person wearing it may not be at all aware of.

Sort of an early warning system for the heart and its functions including fluid buildup of which the wearer may not know Of is beginning to occur.

I am familiar with the type that you have.

I have one too,to watch for afib.

Are you taking any meds for the a-fib ?

Mine was for tachycardia and PVCs. Meds are controlling everything. Haven’t had an episode in quite a while.

Good news for the meds doing what they should.

I had a pre-op physical before this knee replacement and was found to be in afib and never knew it and had no indications beyond the EKG they ran so Xeralto is the daily thing now

Do they make one for a brain transmitter? You know to remotely let you know you’re being a clam?
