Summary

This study checked if children aged 1 to 17 can wear a sticky heart monitor patch called Zio for up to 14 days. The patch records heart rhythm, like a band-aid with a battery. Researchers wanted to see if the patch stays on well and gives clear signals. 36 children took part, and the goal was to see if the device works for kids.
