Diplora, the client of this project, is developing a product service system that improves the quality of life for patients that require (preventative), at home, heart monitoring whilst maintaining high diagnostic capabilities. The objective of this thesis is to design a comfortable, sustainable and viable monitoring product solution that integrates into this developing product service system.

As a true testament to comfort, freedom-of-movement and mobility, the device was developed to endure sportive activities. Ergonomically relevant requirements were found and then implemented in the final design proposal.

The result of this thesis is a product vision consisting of a modular ECG device that attaches to a custom electrode patch. The device is optimized for small scale production and initial clinical testing. It is waterproof, durable and designed with minimal need for adhesives, fasteners and production steps to keep cost down whilst not compromising on sustainability, aesthetics or performance.
