Abstract
A wearable cardiac monitoring device for providing an improved fit to a body of a patient during long term cardiac monitoring of the patient is provided. The device includes a garment configured to be worn about a torso of the patient and including a flexible material and physiological sensors configured to detect a physiological signal of the patient, the physiological sensors disposed on the flexible material and positioned at one or more anatomical locations of the patient's torso. The device also includes force applicators disposed on the flexible material proximate to the one or more physiological sensors, each of the force applicators configured to be adjustable during the long term cardiac monitoring of the patient to cause a pressure in a range of 0.05 psi to 0.65 psi to be exerted by the physiological sensors onto the one or more anatomical locations of the patient's torso.
