If you’re having a bath or going swimming, take it off (but leave your stickers on). Pat your stickers and HeartBug gently with a towel to dry them. Have your shower and be careful not to scrub your stickers!. Keep everything on – it’s all waterproof. Yes, of course! You were going to go for a month without a shower? Here’s how to do it: You can also check how many days you have left by tapping Menu and looking in the red box at the top. Your doctor will have enrolled you for 1 week to 4 weeks, depending on what is required. Make sure your name is on the back of the envelope so we can check it in. At the end, post your HeartBug back to us in the return envelope. See the FAQ below for a pic of a nice spray which fixes irritation.
If your stickers are itchy or annoying, call or text us using the buttons in the app. If one of your stickers falls off, replace it with a new one.But don’t try and read the ECG (unless you’re a cardiologist yourself.) It’s also good for impressing your friends. If you want to check that everything is working properly, you can tap “See My Heart” to check the signal quality.
Choose a symptom from the list or tap on “something else” and tell us what you were feeling, then tap “Submit”.
If you feel your symptoms, open the app and tap “Make a Recording”. Spare stickers and return envelope – keep them in a safe place as you will be needing them both. Phone – keep the app running in the background – don’t quit it. Don’t take it off (except swimming or bath).
