Patient FAQs

SmartPatch is a small, lightweight, and adhesive device worn on the chest. It continuously records a patient’s heart rhythm and activity, allowing for extended monitoring in their normal daily environment.

The patch is used to identify irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, tachycardia, and other arrhythmias. It is also helpful in assessing palpitations, dizziness, and unexplained fainting episodes.

SmartPatch is designed to wear between 5-7 days to get an accurate reading of your heart’s activity.

Patients with severe skin allergies, wounds, or irritation in the chest area may not be ideal candidates for a patch. Always evaluate skin compatibility before application and talk to your doctor if necessary.

In the case of a cardiac event, alerts may be sent directly to the medical team. You should follow emergency protocols and contact your provider immediately.

Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover outpatient heart monitoring for medically necessary indications. Always verify with the patient’s insurer beforehand.  If this isn’t the case for you, no worries! We have designed SmartPatch to be affordable and are happy to work with you and your doctor.
