heart monitor

Pulse display device

A heart monitor is a device that tracks heartbeat rhythm and rate, used in hospitals to watch patients continuously or worn during exercise to measure exertion.

Medical monitors display the familiar peaks and valleys of an electrocardiogram; fitness monitors typically show pulse rate on a watch or chest strap.

The heart monitor beeped steadily through the night.
