How ACT works

The small and lightweight LifeStar™ ACT  Sensor and electrodes are worn on your chest to record your heart's rhythm. Each heartbeat is transmitted wirelessly to the ACT Cellular Phone Monitor where it is analyzed. If an arrhythmia is detected, the Cellular Phone Monitor automatically sends it to one of three LifeWatch Monitoring Centers for review and MD notification, if required.
