EKG at home for tracking and accuracy
This product was a life saver for me. My Cardiologist suggested I purchase Kardi on Amazon. To record when I felt afib. Thank gosh I did and the results showed afib. Cardiologist performed ablation surgery and I’m feeling great. Great product highly recommend easy to navigate and accurately record your EKG from the comfort of your own home.

Easy Setup and Works Great!
This was very easy to setup, worked as advertised and quickly. We’ve used an Apple Watch with similar capabilities but found those would disconnect or restart and wanted something with this dedicated purpose instead. Really small and easy to keep in an area where you can use it frequently. I’m a fan!

Good product, bad battery door
Using it for my dog. A little sanitizer gel makes it work well.But VERY frustrating battery door! Not bad to pop off. But putting it back on is almost impossible. You can consult their video, where the person effortlessly presses it back into place, but that’s not at all possible. My tip: put the small tab in, then try to press the other side in. While pressing that side hard, take a small screwdriver and press each of the two tabs that stick out.

Easy but I always miss my palpitations
Easy to figure out and works pretty well. My biggest complaint is that I can’t capture my palpitations because by the time I get my phone, open the ap, and record my ekg, the event has passed. But it is at least helping me to record how frequently and when I am feeling the palpitations to share with my doctor. Even if I haven’t successfully captured an event yet.

Versatility on the go.
The item was pretty good. Super simple to use, small and convenient, connected to my phone okay. The only thing that I kinda didn’t like was that if. I was some what close to a TV it would show incorrect readings. If your are just planning to check a EKG or heart rythm on the go this one is good. Though the fact that you have to pay another 76 dollars a year to see Pvcs afib and vtac is crazy to me though it would have been included. Honestly if you already have a cardiologist just stick with them and schedule a appointment unless your already having Pvcs and afib I would get it and if not just save your money. Anyways that my review and personal opinion if it works out better for you that’s great. 👍

Worth the peace of mind.
Exactly as described, as accurate as Apple Watch. Very easy to use and the app records for free.

does not reveal arythmia or tachycardia
— originally purchased April 2018 and when I first got it the device would note arythmia or tachycardia. Now it does not do that. Now it simply says that my heart is behaving in a non-normal manner (or words to that effect) and to either submit to them ( you must pay them 100 bucks a year for that service) or submit to your doctor.Well seriously? what good does it do me to submit to my Dr when what I need to know ASAP is how fast my heart is beating so I can figure out if I need to go to emergency asap or not.These people are not trying to help us. they are trying to get subscriptions and make a buck. I’m sticking with my other device which does tell me when Im in arrhythmia and DOES tell my my heart rate. And all with no hassle, no login, no subscription, and no readings held hostage.Skip this device. there are two other cheaper (small palm size devices) on the amazon market that do not require use of your phone and can be plugged to your computer (or smart phone) to easily send readings to a doctor. they are small enough to fit in your pocket, require no subscription and give accurate readings on the spot.Without the ability to show ME what my heart is doing this Kardia device has become useless. I can only hope they put it back the way it used to be.What I like about it:– Made in USA.– small and compact. Feels well made– WHEN the app works I can easily email my readings to myself or my doctor– Can tell you when your heart rate is abnormal (but not what your heart is doing)– device can be stickied to the back of your phone which would make it more like a standalone device, (However, if you stick device to your phone you will not be able to use a wireless battery charger with your phone).—They make an iphone case that holds the device to your phone (but only for those with horizontal camera not vertical camera. ie not for the newest iphone like XS).What I really do not like about it:– Not a standalone device. Requires smart phone so you are juggling two devices not one.– the app no longer tells you if you have arrythmia or tachycardia. Simply says to send your reading to a doctor. totally inconvenient!– app wont work if it cant connect to kardia servers even when you do not have a subscription. no access to app means no reading can be taken. at one point I could not use the device for nearly a week because the app could not connect to kardia. unacceptable!– you have to have a paid subscription (another 99 bucks for a year) to get your pulse or any other basic reading that you can get free from a $20 dollar oximeter.– First time use the app requires one to OPT IN in order to use it. Right out of the box your first reading is held hostage for TWENTY FOUR HOURS while they claim it has to be viewed by a real cardiologist. They claim its the law. its not. Its them taking time to set up your account and verify your email address. All things they need for that OPT IN. And for that reason Im giving it 4 stars instead of 5.– Its too wide to stick to the back of my iPhone. I have an iPhone XS MAX. I could put it on horizontal instead of vertical but I like using the kind of battery charger that I just set my phone on when I go to bed. And if the Kardia device is on the phone then I can’t lay the phone on the charger. This would not be a problem if I only used the plug in kind of device but I had a problem once with a different brand phone—the plug in socket on the phone became unusable which is how I got started with a charging pad.What I do now / Comparison to other deviceI purchased an Emay Handheld Portable ECG Monitor — which I use at work. I use the Kardia device to confirm the reading if the Emay device registers a problem. May device does not require a subscription. I have to connect Emay to the computer to email a reading which is more of a hassle than saving the Kardia reading to my phone and then using my own email account to send to my Dr.I DO prefer the Kardia for use at home. I prefer the Emay device at work only because with the kind of job I have its difficult for me to be pulling things out of my bag and getting set up and then restored quickly. In addition my company forbids the use of a phone during work hours. Which is asinine INMHO but that’s not Kardias fault.What I wishIf I could figure out how to apply the Kardia to the back of my phone without interfering with the phone charging pad I would give it 5 stars and keep the Emay device for backup.As long as the app remains stable, and as long as I can email my readings or save to my phone Ill keep using this.RantINMHO: A subscription should only be required if you wanted to store your readings on their servers. I do not. If it were not for the companies greed in requiring a subscription for what other devices/apps give for free Id probably give it 5 stars.WARNINGBE AWARE, while signing up you are informed that you can opt out at any time. This is NOT true. You can only opt out of third party companies via the gov opt out and by setting your own internet PHONE services up to block spam.Im hoping someone with a lawyers degree comes along and calls them on this business of forcing you to opt in. You really cant use the app unless you do.No medical device should hold you hostage to a paid subscription service. Especially not one as expensive as this. My thermometer and my blood pressure devices don’t require a subscription to save my readings to my phone. they also dont require me to OPT IN to third party marketing. Neither should this.

Doctor said it’s a good way to keep an eye on your heart issues
My husband asked his heart doctor about this, thinking it was probably just a gimmick. The doctor said “ No! It’s a good device to have especially if you have afib. and don’t always feel it” he told my husband this one because it’s a decent price for what you get. We both recommend it but talk to your doctor before buying it. There are different ones that record different things , by checking with your doctor first you will get what’s best for you and not waste money getting the wrong one.

Das Gerät funktioniert auf Anhieb mit meinem Iphone 6S und Android Nexus 7 2013. Die Installation der App über den jeweiligen Store hat auf Anhieb funktioniert. Da Kardia über das Mikrofon des Smartphones/Tablets hochfrequente Töne empfängt, ist auch keine weitere Verbindung notwendig. Einfach neben Iphone legen und “EKG Aufzeichnen” drücken. Dabei wird gleichzeitig die HF genau angezeigt. Die durchschnittliche HF während der 30 Sekunden EKG Messung wird ebenfalls ermittelt. In der Messkurve ist dann das gemesse EKG genau zu sehen. Die App fragt dann ob es die eigene Messung war oder ein “Gast” gemessen wurde. Bei der eigenen Messung geht das Ergebnis in den Cloudspeicher und in die Chronik. Somit sind alle vorhergehenden Messungen verfügbar. Egal ob man eigene Messungen oder andere Leute gemessen hat, ist der Email Versand als pdf super einfach. Aus der Kontaktliste seiner Kontakte im Iphone nur auswählen, senden drücken und schon geht die EKG email mit angehängter pdf Kurve zum Empfänger, egal wo der sich befindet.Zusätzlich kann man auch noch Ruhepuls, Gewicht, Medikation, Aktivität und Gefühlslage von Hand eingeben. Die Bedienung ist somit super einfach. Bei allen Leuten, bei denen ich das Gerät getestet habe, hat es auf Anhieb funktioniert und gute Ergebnisse gebracht. Alle haben gestaunt vorallem wenn sie weniger Sekunden später die Messung am Computer sehen konnten. Auf einem großen Computerbildschirm sieht man natürlich mehr als auf dem Iphone.Aufgefallen ist mir, dass bei etwas feuchten Fingern die Trendkurve noch genauer wird. Wenn man warme, feuche Hände hat sieht das Signal super genau aus. Bei trockenen Händen kann es Artifakte geben. Deshalb feuchte ich meine Finger leicht an vorher.Die automatische Auswertung erlaubt nur das Erkennen von Möglichen Vorhofflimmern. Hier kann man mit der Apple Watch und dem anderen Gerät noch mehr erreichen.Nachteilig ist das nur bis 100 Herzfrequenz gemessen werden kann. Ich habe das Gerät im Fitnessstudio getestet und musste immer warten bis meine HF unter 100 gefallen war. Somit kann eine stärkere Belastung beim Sport nicht erfasst werden.Trotzdem gebe ich 5 Sterne weil das ganze System sehr innovativ ist und sicher noch optimiert wird. Wir stehen mit solchen Technologien noch am Anfang und Maschine Learning Algorithmen, welche auch hier verwendet werden sind sehr innovativ.Kann das Gerät für alle Leute empfehlen, die regelmäßig eine Routinekontrolle machen wollen. Wer richtig herzkrank ist sollte sich lieber in ärztiche Behandlung begeben aber wer erstmal EKG Kurven regelmäßig monitoren möchte, ähnlich wie Blutdruckmessgeräte, ist hier richtig.

Como vou usar esse aparelho Alive Cor se preciso instalar um aplicativo no meu celular (Android) e a Play Store disse que o aplicativo KARDIA não está disponível no Brasil? Sem esse aplicativo não consigo usar o Alive Cor.Parece que preciso instalar outra “loja” de aplicativos chamada Aptoide no meu celular para conseguir baixar o KARDIA. Mas o Google logicamente impede eu baixar essa loja Aptoide.Faço o que sem o KARDIA instalado ? Tentei no celular Android e Notebook sem sucesso.Se não conseguir , vou devolver esse aparelho.

But better to go newer models with more than single channel measuring. And beware you can’t download the app from certain countries app stores. UAE App Store have the necessary app.
