clarify ECG types/appropriateness

* [[Apple Watch]] of all generations include a heart rate sensor. During normal wearing they only sample heart rate data every few minutes but provide continuous data during workout recordings.

* The [[Xiaomi Mi Band]] are a cheaper option. But according to [[User:DG|DG]]'s ([[User talk:DG|talk]]) experience with the miband6 they are still not perfect at measuring HR during exercise.

These devices make us of [[Electrocardiogram|electrocardiograms]] and are based on electrical pulses. For these to work they have to be temporarily glued on to a patch of skin, typically on the chest. As such they might be less appropriate for long-term data collection, similar to chest straps. There are a few options for this:
These devices make us of [[Electrocardiogram|electrocardiograms]] and are based on electrical pulses. Some devices are designed to only record spot-measurements, while others are designed to collect longitudinal data. For these latter to work they have to be temporarily glued on to a patch of skin, typically on the chest.
Due to their design these are more comfortable to wear than chest straps and can be used for recording data during sleep, but as they require to be stuck onto the skin with temporary glue, these might be less appropriate for continuous longitudinal data collect for more than a few days at a time.
As such they might be less appropriate for long-term data collection, similar to chest straps.
There are a few options for few/single-lead ECGs:
* [[uECG]] Open Source ($100)
* [[Omron]] KardiaMobile EKG, a small device to do spot-measurements, not continuous recordings
* [[uECG]] Open Source ($100), worn on the chest with sticky patches, records continuously
* VivaLNK

* [[Hexoskin]] ($600), includes many other sensors.

Similar to the few-lead ECG patches above but these are typically tested medical devices that are used for long-term ECGs. They are expensive and very bulky and less accessible for individuals outside the healthcare system.
