Aim . To assess ergonomic properties of a long-term ECG monitoring device from the standpoint of its usability and reliability of data recording. Methods . Three generations of the long-term ECG monitoring device were tested. 86 volunteers (30 women) were recruited in a study. Over 100 ECG recordings were collected to estimate ergonomic properties. A set of measures to improve the ergonomic properties was recommended after each generation testing. After the upgrading, the device was entering the next stage. The overall study duration was 3 years. Results . The assessment of ergonomic properties of the long-term ECG recording device resulted in the improvement of the device case, universal electrodes, safe data transmission channel, and a user-friendly instruction manual. The software package for data processing was improved and allowed the introduction of remote data transmission to physicians. Conclusion . The device corresponds to all standards of ergonomics and usability. It received the Federal Health Care Supervisory Agency (Roszdravnadzor) approval.
