heart rate monitoring

Cardiac rhythm surveillance

Heart rate monitoring is the continuous or periodic measurement of heartbeats, typically expressed as beats per minute.

Once limited to clinical settings, it now happens through wearable devices like fitness trackers and smartwatches: My watch handles heart rate monitoring during workouts.

The data helps track exercise intensity, detect irregularities, and monitor cardiovascular health over time.
