Discussion on Using Phone while Wearing a Holter Monitor
Hi, can I use my phone while wearing a holter monitor?
Hello! Generally speaking, yes, it is possible to use your phone while wearing a Holter monitor. The device is designed to monitor your heart's activity in your normal daily routine, and that includes using mobile devices.
Oh, I see. But wouldn't the signals from my phone interfere with the monitor?
While electromagnetic interference can occasionally occur, it's usually not a problem with phones and Holter monitors. That said, it might be a good idea to keep your phone slightly away from the device just to be safe.
Thank you for the information. What else activities should I limit while wearing a monitoring device?
You're welcome! While the monitor is designed to withstand normal daily activity, you should avoid swimming and showering since getting the device wet can cause it to malfunction. Additionally, you should avoid any high-intensity contact sports to prevent dislodging the device.
Got it, thanks a lot for your help, I understand it clearly now!
You're very welcome! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions. Take care!
