Mike, you would love the event recorder I got hooked up with today........tech has definitely improved these things.....when I was practicing the recorder was about the size and weight of a 700 page hard bound book and you had to go back every couple of days and have it reloaded with EKG paper and new batteries installed. No showers allowed either! This one has a plastic and foam pocket that fits under my left collarbone which holds the sensing and sending device which is about 3/4 the size of my old Motorola flip phone. It sends constantly to the recorder which is small Motorola smart phone. as long as I'm within ten feet it will pick up the signals....neat thing is that if I don't want to take it with me, the sensing device can record up to 4 hours of data and then dumps it to the recorder phone when back in range. It can call my doctor and 911 if a life threatening event takes place........I can shower........all I have to do for the 4 weeks is recharge the batteries!
