AliveCor - KardiaMobile Personal EKG Monitor - Black

There’s a learning curve involved but once you get it it’s easy and it’s goid to see if there’s a change in heart rhythm.

My husband and I have been using this device and we like it. What I like about it is that you can use it with iPhone or Android phones. So we each downloaded the app on both phones. It's a relief when you see the results being normal. And the fact that this device is very accurate, makes me feel more confident.

I bought this for my parents but my brother was who ended up keeping it. My father has too many other health issues and the product couldn't pick up a good reading from his finger. The oxygen monitor he uses on his finger also has problems occasionally getting a good reading. He just has a lot of issus on top of heart. But my brother, who had a heart attack last year, was able to get a good reading and ended up keeping it for his own monitoring. My only issue was all the phones had to have the cases removed in order for the product to get a quality signal to get a good reading. So that is going to be an issue having to remove the phone case every time you want to get a reading.

I purchased this as a gift for my aging parents, and they liked it! The first EKG they took was automatically sent to a specialist who reviews the results free of charge. They told me they like it. The only drawback is, it is essentially the same EKG (single lead) that you can get with the Applewatch, so if you’ve got one of those, buying this may be redundant.

I am 57, an age that I take seriously the condition of my heart. This addition to my self-health check-ups became very important. I love the quality and fast certified diagnosis. A must have along with the Blood Pressure check. The App is very simple, yet professionally done.

Handy little device to take a 30 second EKC whenever you feel there might be something (flutter, odd feeling in your chest, etc) you want to check out. It's default settings send you a lot of little notifications which can be annoying (like reminder to take an EKC, take your medication, etc.) but they are easily turned off in the settings. You do have to have your phone right next to it in order for the app to take a reading.

As a former AFib sufferer, this device has proven to be an invaluable tool for monitoring and detecting both normal and irregular heart rhythms. The associated Kardia iPhone app records measurement results locally which enables the information to be conveniently presented to your cardiologist or GP during routine visits. An optional subscription facilitates storing of the EKG measurements in the cloud. The only criticism, in terms of usage, is that a firm/heavy pressure must be applied and maintained to the electrodes during the 60 second measurement period. Placing the device on a table or firm surface is mandatory to avoid miss-reads.

Very helpful, beneficial and i can see how potentially life saving this little technological wonder can be. Its a great instrument to have for anyone with potential cardiovascular concerns or for anyone interested in the health of loved ones or even your own. As a purchase it ranks up there as one of the most practical and meaningful ever done. Very pleased. So far no complaints .
