KardiaMobile 6L EKG Monitor, Medical-Grade, FDA-Cleared Heart Monitor, 6 Views of The Heart, Results in 30 Seconds, Unlimited Recordings, Works with Smartphones, HSA&FSA Eligible, Pocket-Size

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.

This is a very good tool to monitor your heart rate with. It's more accurate than the Apple Watch because it can do a 6-lead trace. The add-on servcies also add a good resource and value to the Kardia, too. The ability to record a high resolution 6-lead trace that you can forward to your doctors is very valuable. I like the size and battery life of this device. I can tuck it into my backpact and take it with me just about anywhere. I also apprecate that it's mostly a metal construction so it feels better and that it will last for better than other devices.

This KardiaMobile 6-Lead EKG Monitor works really well! It’s simple to use, just open the app on your phone, place the device on your thigh, and it gives a full 6-lead EKG reading. It’s convenient, quick, and gives me peace of mind knowing I can monitor my heart health anytime. Highly recommend for personal use!

I bought the AliveCor KardiaMobile 6-Lead with my FSA funds, and it’s amazing! It provides six views of the heart in just 30 seconds, helping detect AFib and irregular rhythms quickly. Works seamlessly with my smartphone, and the results are easy to understand. A reliable, convenient tool for heart monitoring.

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.

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.

Seems to work well! I had to turn off multiple marketing messages on the device and via my email, which I hate, but at least I could turn them off. It doesn't always complete a scan if you move it at all or if your leg has muscle movement. It can take multiple tries to make sure all the sensors are touching the right way, especially on the leg. Other than that, it's fast and easy and I keep track of the scans on my phone.

This is an excellent device that helps to monitor heart conditions; however, it might be slightly difficult to use for older patients. KardiaMobile encourages additional subscriptions for the best experience with this device, especially if the user does not have a cardiologist who participates with the KardiaMobile program. The subscriptions can add up and become quite costly. Nevertheless, the device does provide accurate EKG data, and for $99 per year, a board-certified cardiologist will interpret results periodically. There are other options to consult with their doctors for $79 per session. I don't mean to scare anyone off because the product is fantastic, but I wanted to warn potential buyers that there are other potential costs involved with this product, which I would like to reiterate is a product that might be somewhat challenging for older patients to program and use.
