Measuring respiratory frequency, i.e. breathing rate, offers benefits in monitoring both health and disease. Determining respiratory rate is also important in sports science, e.g. in defining ventilatory thresholds and exercise intensity. There are several ways to detect breathing frequency, such as breathing gas analysis, mechanical stretch sensors, breathing sound analysis, and optical blood measurement, i.e. […]

It’s the place to see the newest medical products, trends and technologies, to connect with the industry, and to learn about the healthcare evolution in various forums and conferences. This year, the event will return back to normal after the pandemic. Nearly 100000 visitors […]
Kubios, a leading provider of software for scientific heart rate variability analysis, and Movesense, a supplier of cutting-edge wearable ECG, heart rate and movement sensors, promote the compatibility of their products to make top-of-the-line physiological analyzes accessible and practical for anyone interested in the topic. Kubios and Movesense’s products complement each other perfectly, and in […]
Clinical multi-lead ECG systems, e.g., Holter ECGs, are expensive, involve considerable participant and researcher burden and are not practical for field base monitoring in active populations.[i] The new ECG monitors with a chest strap form factor offer many benefits for monitoring certain heart parameters and cardiac health. Especially for long-term monitoring of heart rate variability […]
A scientific study finds high correlation between the heart rate variability parameters measured with Movesense Medical and a gold standard 12-lead ECG monitor. The study concludes that Movesense Medical can be used instead of a reference ECG for the calculation of HRV. According to the study, Movesense Medical represents a significant advance in both a […]
Atrial fibrillation, also called AFib or AF, is the most common type of treated heart arrhythmia. AF increases a person’s risk for stroke. Strokes caused by complications from AF are usually more severe than strokes with other causes. However, with timely detection and treatment of AF, the stroke risk can be remarkably reduced. The risk […]
