AliveCor - KardiaMobile Personal EKG Monitor - Black

We live in a very stressful world and life isn't getting easier. I've been to the ER more than once because of episodes of tachycardia, shortness of breath, elevated BP, a sense of imminent doom: those of us past middle-age and many younger people know the routine. Each time I was there, an EKG was part and parcel of the standard tests they ran to rule out a heart attack. Now, I never had a heart attack that they could find or even a mini-stroke. But I worry a lot and that's just the way I am. When I heard about Alive Cor's device, I was curious but held off because it was being promoted as a tool to help those afflicted with diagnosed AFIB. And my physicians have never found AFIB. So, it seemed logically contradictory and also a waste of $99 to buy one. But I did. And I this is only the second day of owning it, but I feel better. Aside from having a family history of stroke and sleep apnea, worrying about the possible scenarios and consequences just made me feel bad, even though nothing was really wrong. What the KardiaMobile provides me with is the assurance that I can check if I feel a little "off" to see if I have a normal EKG or not. I can have a history of my normal EKG's on file to compare with any future ones and while the device isn't for self-diagnosis, it can help me to decide whether or not I need to seek further medical assistance. The best part is that the test is quick and you can take as many "snapshots" as you want. Alive Cor has changed their policy so that you can save your tests for yourself at no additional cost. The only fault I found seemed to be based in the newest version of Android software. I was unable to record any voice notations. All I got was a loud hiss and jumbled words. So I turned that "feature" off until they fix it. But be assured, being able to rule out AFIB, which can affect anyone or to just be able to check for a "normal" EKG goes along way in helping affected people or worriers like me feel better. Well worth the small investment.

I am an employee of Best Buy and work on our Health Team. One of the best parts of my job is playing with new health products we get to review. I had the opportunity to use the Kardia Mobile device for a month and I was very impressed! Super easy to use – just hold your fingers on the plates for a few seconds and you get a “clinical grade” EKG reading that is reviewed (remotely) by a licensed Cardiologist. Thankfully, everything was normal when I received my readings and as a father of two young kids, the peace of mind (just knowing) is so incredibly reassuring!

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.

It’s unbelievable how technology has come so far and so much over the years . Also it’s incredible how this small device can do what it’s designed to do but it does with amazing accuracy ! A small price to pay to track your health . If you don’t have your health not much else matters ! This purchase was a need and not necessarily a want as far as I’m concerned

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.

If you have heart problems or think that you do, this is convenient for catching afib or other intermittent issues. It easily attaches to your phone case. There are other ways to carry around with you too. It is fairly thin, light and relatively inexpensive. App allows you to send the 30 second EKG off to your doctor for viewing.

Fast,Accurate,Nice Size,Good Price But to charge 9.99 a month to save the recordings and unlimited storage is an outrage not to many people can afford I didnt sign up!!!!!!! They could do better on this ! This is the reason of 4 stars instead of 5

After 5 days in the hospital for A-fib, I bought this as a carry along backup. Was very easy to setup, app loaded with no problems. First recording went fine. 24 hours later I was able to take a reading anytime I want. You can other people.s ekg also because it ask you if this you or some one else.
