AliveCor KardiaMobile 6-Lead Personal EKG Monitor – Six Views of The Heart – Detects AFib and Irregular Arrhythmias – Instant Results in 30 Seconds – Works with Most Smartphones

Clinical-use EKGs. Get the 6-lead – there’s no good reason to get the single lead.
Clinical-use EKGs. Get the 6-lead, there’s no good reason to get the single lead. Having a 6 lead is an order of magnitude better than just a single lead. If you have any cardiac issues, get this! No debate. Nothing to think about.It’s a fantastic, easy-to-use, reliable and CLINICALLY ACCEPTED 6 lead EKG and a very inexpensive price. The battery lasts around a year or more and is easily replaced. It’s the CR2016 (same size as the CR2036 but thinner, and may not be as easily found in stores as the more common CR2036 so best to order some online and keep them as back up. The store for like 10 years…)You upload Kardia software to your iPhone/Android and it syncs easily with the device. There’s a section for “notes” which you can use the phone’s dictation option to dictate notes.Better: buy two. Keep one at home in the medicine cabinet or wherever you store items for quick access, and another for your purse/pocket for when you’re traveling or out and about.I’ve been in the clinical medical device industry for 40 years- this is a great product, that works well, and delivers clinically-valid results to your doctor; it is inexpensive and well made. No reason not to have one if you are dealing with any and all cardiac issues.You don’t have to sign up for their service if you have your own cardiologist or GP. The software works with or without a “subscription” (which is really only about having access to a cardiologist who will “read” you EKG and give you a determination.) The software will make a “possible xxx” diagnosis for you. The main point is that you shouldn’t be buying this “for the heck of it” or to “see if I’ve got anything.” If you suspect you are having cardiac issues, you should already have gotten you derrière to a doctor, preferably a cardiologist.If you already have consulted with your physician/cardiologist, then you already know – or suspect – what’s going on, and you would be following your cardiologists advice from here on out and this is merely gathering additional data for further clinical analysis/study. In either case, the Kardia-generated “possible diagnosis” should confirm what you and your cardiologist already suspect, or at least provide more data for your clinician to make a more accurate diagnosis.

Cannot Use with a Pacemaker
CON: My husband purchased this for me as I am recuperating from injuries and cannot leave the house. We used it and my Pacemaker went crazy. An important message like this should be prominently displayed on the front page. No clicking.PROS: for those who do not have a Pacemaker this is a great product. It was simple to use and produced a good result. Where he took it to our doctor and the nurse looked at it thoroughly she said do you know you cannot use it with Pacemaker? Oops! Or packaging mail for a return and I guess the nice case we also purchased it isn’t here yet. It’s a shame the south because my pacemaker can be used with an MRI, you just have to turn it off which which has to be done by a professional at the MRI center.

Overall a good unit
It’s pretty straightforward and easy to use, certainly less expensive than an Apple Watch, which was my other option, but then again the watch can tell time. The drawback to this is, of course, it’s not as accurate as the fancy ones at the hospital, so when the unit indicated I had Atrial Fibrillation it turned out to be something different. Still, it’s pretty amazing for the price. Overall a good little unit.

Ich bin begeistert. Selbst Ärztin habe ich lange überlegt, ob ich diesem Gerät eine Chance geben soll. Ja, es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall, ist besser, als manch mir vorgelegtes EKG und auf jeden Fall hilfreich zur Rhythmusanalyse. Natürlich fehlen die Brustwandableitungen, aber für den Hausgebrauch ist es völlig ausreichend. Ein Abo braucht man nicht, um damit etwas anfangen zu können und auch der PDF-Export an den Arzt ist ohne Probleme ohne Abo möglich. Die Handhabung ist denkbar einfach, das Gerät bis dato uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert. Ob man sich auf die Analyse – kein Infarkt – verlassen sollte? Im Zweifel natürlich nicht! Klinische Symptome kann das Gerät schließlich nicht in die Betrachtung einbeziehen. Ob es hilft, sich sicherer zu fühlen, z.B. bei Panikattacken oder als Biofeedback-Tool? Auf jeden Fall. Und sollte das kleine Ding “Infarkt” behaupten, dann sollte man es tunlichst erst nehmen und einen Arzt aufsuchen! Sehr gutes Gerät! Toll, dass es so etwas gibt
