Wireless Serial Plotter?

I have a project where I'm trying to track some wearable sensor data over a short period of time. These sensors, their controller and power source need to be portable and low-profile, so I can't have my Arduino connected directly to a computer. However, I need to visualize the data in real-time.

I've tried Arduino IoT Cloud with an MKR Wifi 1010 board, but it's shown to miss some important data points by only being able to update every 4 seconds. The closest I've found to what I'm looking for is an UNO solution I'm hesitant to use because of the need for portability: Arduino - Web Serial Plotter - Arduino Project Hub

Are there any other solutions to getting serial data plotted wirelessly in real time I may not be aware of?

What's your concern for the Uno - would a Nano address that concern? They're pretty much the same at the code level, but the Nano is a nicer form factor. And yes, there are other options.

Bluetooth serial comes to mind.

The Uno would need a shield for the linked implementation, and it's already too big/heavy to wear on its own + a battery. My project requires a small footprint of all the devices used.

Bluetooth serial sounds doable! I will try it.

well, yes, that's why I was suggesting you NOT use an Uno, but use a Nano instead.

Bluetooth Graphics Terminal

Is this an app? If so, is it for Windows?

No, it is an app for Android. I mention it because you seem to be working in the field and I assume Windows isn't such a great idea. You may find this mother-of-all-threads has something about using Bluetooth. PLX-DAQ version 2 - now with 64 bit support! (and further new features)
Also, the DataStream macro for Excel may have a Bluetootth facility. Further, any windows terminal programme should receive Bluetooth, and you can then transfer its file to Excel at leisure.
