Movesense ECG Recorder Update 2.1 Adds New ECG Reports to the App
We have just released the version 2.1 of the Movesense ECG Recorder. The update adds two new analysis reports to the application and an automatic Wi-Fi backup. It also enables the integration of 3rd party ECG analysis services to the app and introduces many technical and usability improvements for managing and sharing the ECG data recorded with the Movesense MD sensor. For new users, the app includes a sample ECG file that allows studying the app features without a sensor.
The new version also takes steps towards the next update, where some of the application’s advanced features will be packaged into a premium subscription version.
The Movesense ECG Recorder app is certified as a class IIa medical device as part of the Movesense MD sensor. The app is available free of charge in app stores for iOS and Android devices. Please note that you will need a Movesense MD sensor for recoding data with the app.
ECG Report Provides an In-Depth View of the ECG
The Movesense ECG report is a detailed printout of the first 60 minutes of an ECG recording, presented on the commonly used millimeter grid.
The header info boxes of the report summarize the patient details and the recording’s key statistics such as mean R-R interval, mean heart rate, and the pNN100 value, i.e. the percentage of successive R-R intervals that differ by more than 100 milliseconds.
The R-R and HR histograms and the R-R Poincaré plot tell you at a glance whether the ECG data is normal, or whether it should be examined more closely for possible arrhythmias.
Full timeline plots of heart rate and R-R intervals, supplemented with a pNN100 graph, show where potentially abnormal data is found in the recording.
The report collects sections of interest for closer inspection into high-interval-variability ECG segments. These segments are 10-second periods that contain at least one R-R interval pair where the difference between consecutive intervals is more than 100 ms.

Movesense HRV Report Studies Heart Rate Variability Statistics
The Movesense HRV report provides a heart rate variability-based view of ECG data. The time domain analysis includes the key HRV parameters such as SDNN and RMSSD and their comparison to reference values. Timeline plots such as R-R intervals and the difference between successive intervals give a useful overview on the data.
ECG sections with the highest and lowest heart rates, SDNN, and RMSSD, may reveal interesting details about the data and potentially detect anomalies that deserve closer investigation.
The frequency domain analysis of the report focuses on visualizing the power spectral density of the data and lists numeric values of the most important power values and their reference brackets.
The non-linear analysis uses the Poincaré plot of the successive R-R intervals and the standard deviations of both axis of the plotted figure.

Healthcare Use Improved – Looking for Pilot Projects
The Movesense ECG recorder and Movesense MD sensor form the CardioRTHM cardiology solution, which can be used for single-channel ECG recording both at home and in healthcare settings.
The new version is particularly suitable for use where the patient records an ECG on their own when symptoms occur or in other appropriate situations and sends the recorded data to their own doctor for evaluation. In addition to the new reports, the application allows for simple sharing of recordings in csv, pdf and edf+ file formats.
With the new reports, the doctor can quickly see relevant information from a wide range of recordings and make the necessary diagnoses and care decisions without delay.
The sensor-chest strap combination, suitable for daily use and unobtrusive for the patient, makes ECG measurement significantly simpler and more practical than with traditional Holter monitors or symptom recorders. The autonomic use by the patient significantly reduces the need for medical personnel compared to traditional ECG measurement methods.
Intuitive file sharing makes it easy for the patient to deliver measurement data to the doctor. The possibility of repeated measurements whenever necessary increases the likelihood of detecting arrhythmias, which in turn helps to achieve better patient outcomes.
If you want to start using the Movesense MD sensor and the Movesense ECG Recorder for monitoring your own heart, order a kit at CardioRTHM. If you are interested in applying the solution to professional use, please contact Movesense at info@movesense.com. We are currently looking for pilot projects in both private and public healthcare.
