How to record a measurement using the MyWellness Connect app.
Measuring & Recording Your Heart Rate
- Open the Community Wellness “MyWellness Connect” app. Make sure the Bluetooth on your phone is activated and you have an internet connection.
- Turn on the portable ECG as described above, and then hold the metal electrodes on either end of the device against your bare skin at one of the following pulse points:
- After start-up, the device has a short pre-sample phase for a few seconds. You’ll see the ECG waveform (orange in the pre-sample phase) and heart rate displayed on the screen as shown here:
- When the waveform becomes stable, it turns green, and the device will automatically take a formal sampling of your heart rate for 10 seconds. The sample countdown on the bottom right hand corner runs until the sample is complete.
- After the sample is complete, the ECG will enter into case review mode. You’ll see a summary of the results, which includes your heart rate and notable activity, along with the start time and date.
- As long as you hold the device to your pulse point throughout the case review process, it will automatically repeat the sampling process. (Your doctor will advise how many cycles to record at a time.)
- Tap the plus (+) icon, on the ECG listing on the home screen (Dashboard).
- When the reading (or readings) is (are) complete, it (they) will display on the app’s “New Measurement” screen. Tap on “Save” to record the measurement(s).
- The saved reading will automatically be displayed on the app’s home screen (Dashboard) with the last synced time below it.
- To view the history of your ECG readings, tap on the ECG listing on the home screen (Dashboard). You can view previous measurements by swiping up and down. Please read the full directions that come with the device for detailed instructions, including troubleshooting, battery replacement, precautions, and technical specifications.
