A new wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor has been developed by a team at RMIT University in Australia. The compact and lightweight device offers more comfort and less skin irritation compared to other heart monitoring devices on the market. The device, which weighs only 10 grams, could be used to prevent heart attacks for people with cardiovascular disease. It features three "dry" electrodes that are thin and can sense even the slightest signals of a distressed heart. The team has filed an international patent application and is exploring ways to translate the device into a commercial product. [Extracted from the article]
