What It Involves
Records your heart's electrical activity via small sticky sensors placed on your chest and limbs - quick and completely painless, taking only a few minutes. It checks for rhythm or conduction issues that wouldn't show up on a simple blood pressure reading, and is a standard or age-triggered requirement across aviation, diving and offshore medicals.
What to Bring
Valid photo ID (passport or driving licence) (and 1 more items)
Frequently Asked Questions
The clinician needs access to your chest and limbs for the sensors, so you may be asked to partially undress - a private area is provided.
No - the sensors just stick to your skin and record electrical activity; there's no current passed through you.
Health questionnaire
If your clinic requires a pre-visit health form, we'll email you their link. You complete it directly with the clinic — we never see or store your answers.
