ECG Accuracy

How to lose weight - ECG accurate heart rate

What is ECG and what does ECG accurate mean?

An electrocardiogram, ECG or EKG, is a measure of the electrical activity of the heart. This electrical activity regulates heart contraction, so an ECG measures an exact heart rate and rhythm. ECG is the most accurate, medically accepted way to monitor heart rate.

 

Is MIO as accurate as chest strap monitors?

Watches with a chest strap often rely on analog wireless transmission, making them prone to radio frequency noise and “cross talk” between units (like that between portable or wireless phones). Also, by relying on radio transmissions, chest strap monitors lag behind the true heart rate, due to the need for excessive filtering in the software to reduce reading fluctuations caused by noises and muscles.
 
MIO is a self-contained unit with built-in sensors, making it immune to environmental noises. MIO Watch is as accurate and more than typical watches with a chest strap because MIO’s superior digital filtering techniques allows it to follow your true heart rate, even as your heart rate changes. And you don’t have put up with that annoying chest strap!

I was doing some work with a television station and I was provided with a hired car with a driver. The driver’s name was John. Throughout my ride John confided in me that he had recently survived a heart attack. He was determined to seize this second change at life by improving his health, losing weight and changing his overall lifestyle! He was terrified that if he overexerted himself that he would relapse and possibly have another heart attack. While listening to this brave man’s story I realized that I could help this man! Recently a good friend of mine, Liz Dickinson had given me one of her new products that her company was launching, the MIO Beat. MIO makes strapless heart rate monitors, perfect for this individual! I told him all about the watch and offered him the one I was wearing. He was very thankful! He dropped me off at the location and I bid John goodbye.

Recently, four years since I last saw John I was doing more work with the same television station. As I stepped into the hired car, the driver turned round in his seat and said “You don’t recognize me, do you?” Slightly embarrassed I replied that I didn’t. “It’s John! You gave me your MIO watch 4 years ago!”

The transformation was unbelievable, he was like a whole different person! He told me that since I had given him the MIO watch that he had lost 70 pounds! MIO had changed John’s life, not only had he lost so much weight but he had also gained back his confidence and self esteem. He was happier than ever!
