In order for an elderly person to keep track of the heart rate readings using the strapless heart rate monitors, one must first understand the functioning dynamics of these readings. These monitors are strapped onto the chest, and the strap is built in with advanced sensors that help to pick up the heart’s electrical activity. This data is then transmitted to the to the display monitor through radio signals. The chest strap with the sensors picks up continuous reading of the heart rate and keeps updating the monitor almost every 5-10 seconds.
A strapless heart rate monitor is very similar to a strapped version, only difference being their portability. Both the back plate on the watch carries a sensor, and the buttons and the metal plate found on the face of the watch also contains sensors. The sensors capture the readings and transmit them back to the heart rate monitor’s display even if the watch is worn on the wrist. The heat rate is displayed in beats per minute with the finger touch stimulating the sensor to complete the electrical loop.
