The Need for Smarter Cardiac Monitoring in Clinics
In cardiology and general practice clinics, patients frequently present with symptoms suggestive of cardiac rhythm disturbances, yet the ECG recorded during consultation may appear normal.
Symptoms such as:
- palpitations
- unexplained dizziness
- suspected atrial fibrillation (AFib)
- intermittent rhythm irregularities
often occur episodically,making them difficult to capture during a brief clinic visit.
Traditional monitoring approaches like Holter monitoring remain valuable, but they can introduce logistical delays, patient inconvenience, and workflow complexity for clinics.
As outpatient cardiac care becomes increasingly digital, clinicians need ECG monitoring tools that are quick to deploy, clinically reliable, and easy to integrate into everyday practice.
Fibriart-I is designed to address this need. The wearable ECG patch system enables clinicians to initiate short-duration ECG recordings during consultation and generate digital reports for clinical review?without disrupting routine clinic workflows.
Understanding the Fibriart-I ECG Patch System
Fibriart-I is built around a simple concept: make ECG monitoring easy to initiate, comfortable for the patient, and efficient for the clinician.
The system consists of three components:
- A compact adhesive ECG patch
- A detachable device module
- The Fibriart mobile application
Together, these components allow clinicians to record ECG data, generate reports, and review patient recordings within a streamlined digital environment.
Wearable ECG Patch
The adhesive ECG patch is designed for ambulatory ECG monitoring, making it suitable for in-clinic assessments or symptom-triggered recordings.
The adhesive layer is splash-resistant, meaning it can tolerate sweat or light moisture during normal activities. However, the electronic device module itself is not designed for immersion in water, so patients are typically advised to remove the device before showering while leaving the adhesive patch in place if necessary.
Detachable Device Module
One of the practical features of the system is the detachable ECG module.
The module connects to the adhesive patch during recording and can be removed afterward. This design enables intermittent monitoring workflows, where the patch remains positioned while the recording device can be reattached when symptoms occur.
This approach supports symptom-triggered ECG capture without repeated patch placement.
Fibriart Mobile Application
The system operates through the Fibriart mobile application, which acts as the control interface for ECG recording and patient session management.
Clinicians can use the app to:
- create or select a patient profile
- initiate ECG recordings
- save ECG sessions
- generate clinical reports
This digital workflow ensures that ECG data can be accessed and managed efficiently.
How Fibriart-I Fits Into the Clinical Workflow
For physicians and clinical staff, the most important question is not only what a device does, but how easily it integrates into routine clinical operations.
Step 1: Patient Identification
The process begins when a patient presents with symptoms suggestive of a rhythm disturbance.
Common scenarios include:
- palpitations
- suspected arrhythmia
- episodic dizziness or syncope
- AFib suspicion
After clinical evaluation, the physician determines that ECG monitoring is required to capture rhythm activity.
Instead of scheduling external monitoring, the clinician can initiate ECG recording immediately using the wearable patch.
Step 2: Patch Placement in the Clinic
Once monitoring is indicated, the ECG patch is applied to the patient.
Typical clinical steps include:
For Patients
- Preparing the skin surface
- Applying the adhesive ECG patch
- Attaching the device module
- Initiating recording via the mobile application
Within the application, the clinician typically performs two actions:
- Add Patient
- Start Recording
This process can be completed within minutes and fits naturally within a clinical consultation.
Step 3: ECG Recording
Fibriart-I supports configurable recording durations, allowing clinicians to capture ECG data depending on the diagnostic requirement.
Common recording durations include:
- 30 seconds
- 60 seconds
- 90 seconds
- 5 minutes
In most cases, the recording automatically stops once the configured duration is completed.
Patients may perform light activities such as sitting or walking during recording, although vigorous movement should be avoided to reduce motion artifacts and maintain signal quality.
For optimal diagnostic clarity, recordings are typically performed while the patient remains relatively still.
Step 4: Data Capture and Report Generation
After recording, the ECG data is saved through the application.
The workflow generally follows these steps:
- Recording completes
- User selects Save Record
- The system generates a clinical ECG report
Clinicians can then export ECG data in several formats depending on clinical or integration requirements.
Common export formats include:
- PDF clinical report
- CSV raw waveform data
- JSON format for system integration
These formats allow flexibility for both clinical documentation and digital integration.
Step 5: Clinician Review and Data Access
Once the ECG recording is completed, clinicians can review the data through multiple access points.
Available access methods include:
- The Fibriart mobile application
- a secure cloud dashboard
- downloadable ECG reports
Reports can then be:
- reviewed by the attending physician
- shared with consulting cardiologists ]
- uploaded into the hospital EMR or EHR system
A typical clinical workflow may involve:
- Downloading the ECG PDF report
- Saving it to a secure workstation
- Uploading it into the patient?s electronic record
This ensures the ECG findings are integrated into the patient?s long-term clinical documentation.
Supporting Flexible Patient Monitoring
One of the advantages of the Fibriart-I system is its ability to support intermittent monitoring workflows.
In some cases, patients may experience symptoms that occur unpredictably. Rather than requiring continuous monitoring equipment, Fibriart allows a flexible setup.
For example:
- The adhesive patch can remain on the patient?s body
- The device module can be detached when not needed
- When symptoms occur, the module can be reattached to capture ECG data
As long as electrode conductivity and adhesive integrity are maintained, the system can continue to record diagnostic-quality ECG signals.
This workflow helps clinicians capture symptom-triggered cardiac events without repeated device placement.
Designed for Practical Clinic Use
Medical devices must fit into real-world clinical environments where efficiency, hygiene, and reliability matter.
Fibriart incorporates several practical features to support everyday clinic operations.
Reusable Device Module
The device module is designed to be reused across patients.
However:
- The adhesive ECG patch is single-patient disposable
- The module must be cleaned before reuse
Standard cleaning involves disinfecting the module with 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) according to hygiene protocols.
This approach helps clinics maintain infection control while minimizing device costs.
Device Charging
The device module uses a USB-C charging interface.
Important charging considerations include:
- Devices are typically shipped with 30?60% battery charge
- A full charge is recommended before first use
- Charging can be performed using a standard 5V USB power source
This makes charging convenient within clinic environments where USB power sources are widely available.
Data Security and Patient Privacy
Digital healthcare tools must protect sensitive medical data. Fibriart incorporates several cybersecurity safeguards to support data security.
Security measures typically include:
- TLS 1.2 / TLS 1.3 encrypted transmission
- AES-128 encryption for stored data
- Authenticated clinician login
- Role-based access control
- Token-based API access
These protections help ensure that patient ECG data remains confidential during transmission, storage, and clinician access.
Clinicians are also encouraged to follow institutional best practices such as:
- Avoiding unsecured email transfers
- Using encrypted storage devices
- Deleting temporary downloads after uploading to EMR systems
