Very helpful tool to keep a check on your heart rate, which can be sent to your doctor or cardiologist. Easy to use with a smart phone.
5.0 out of 5 stars A really well designed device and app
Kardia Mobile was recommended to me by my cardiologist. It's not yet available on the NHS, but at £99 it's a no-brainer for diagnosing and managing paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (AF). It arrived quickly and works brilliantly. The hardware communicates with the app flawlessly and the app itself is very simple to use. I needed to buy a new phone case because my old armoured case wasn't totally flat on the back. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and went for a JETech case which is perfect for sticking the attachment plate to. I also bought a Gorilla Glass screen protector so I could put the phone face down as I don't want to damage the ECG pads. I'm currently on the free trial of the premium service but will settle for the free basic service after 30 days. As long as I can save the trace as a PDF and email it to my cardiologist I'm happy. In a follow-up with my GP it turned out that she'd just been on an AF course and the surgery was about to be sent one to trial, so I ended up giving the GP and nurse a demo!Update (26/11/2017):Yesterday evening was my first AF episode since buying Kardia Mobile. The app had no trouble capturing the ECG many times during the 3 hours it lasted, and each time diagnosed AF at between 135 and 165 bpm. My free trial of the premium service has now ended, so on the basic free service you need to choose to save each one, but it's easy to save a PDF (either attach to an email or, as I did, save to Google Drive). My only criticism is that the 'Email EKG' button should really be called 'Share EKG' given the number of options available. I'll be calling my cardiologist on Monday and emailing him the files, so I'll post another update when I get his feedback.Update (6/12/2017):My cardiologist agreed with the Kardia Mobile diagnosis based on the emailed traces. I'm now waiting for an appointment to discuss treatment. Without Kardia Mobile I would still be undiagnosed...Update (3/6/2018):Everything is still working like new and the ECG pads don't seem to have suffered any wear. I've had one further AF episode, and again Kardia Mobile worked perfectly. I've had several cardiology appointments since my last update, including an echocardiogram to check the structure of my heart. I've now been prescribed Flecainide, to take when I have an episode.Update (3/9/2018):The battery ran out last week after 10 months. Not as good as described but not the end of the world (at least the batteries are cheap). I don't use it very often so I guess I'm activating it by holding my phone which drains the battery. The biggest problem was removing the battery compartment. It's very stiff, and despite being really careful both little clips snapped off when I removed it. I emailed AliveCor and they responded very quickly by sending a replacement battery compartment (and a spare). Great customer service! It still seemed a lot stiffer when refitting than the AliveCor video suggests so we'll have to see what happens in next time the battery needs replacing...
5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and convenient if your doctor requests it, but with limitations
Using this at my consultant's request, as they need to see ECG during a heart arrhythmia event.The app installed very easily on my Android phone, and is easy to use. It does store historic readings, which you can access through the app, and email to your consultant (or print as a PDF for later use). I chose not to take out a subscription which provides additional diagnostic info and other features.Using the device is really easy, so long as you are aware of a couple of things. The device communicates with your phone via high-frequency audio (inaudible to human hearing). So you need to have a working microphone on your phone/tablet, and allow the app to access it. You will need to take readings in a quiet place, and make sure that the phone microphone is unobstructed. I found that wearing a synthetic-fibred fleece interfered with the signal, (presumably it rustles at ultrasonic frequencies!) but once I'd taken that off, I can now get reliable good quality signal. Not being a cardiologist nor having a second ECG to compare against, I can't vouch for "accuracy", but the device is certified and two cardiologists have requested I use it, so they must find the results useful.Included in the package is a little holder for the device that sticks on the back of your phone / case, so that you can keep it with you at all times should you need it.
4.0 out of 5 stars Small and easy to use
I already have a small portable ECG/EKG device and it works well, picking up tachycardia and bradycardia.The reason I bought the AliveCor device is that it also detects atrial fibrillation, with which my wife has just been diagnosed.It arrived within 24 hours on Prime. It is smaller than the other device I have, but it links directly to the iPhone, which my other one doesn’t (the latest version of that one does though).Setting up the account is easy. We both want to use it so we set up two accounts though the main benefit of that is that reports are correctly annotated. We won’t be paying a subscription so all records are deleted from the app on each sign out.I keep the ECGs by mailing them to me from the History part of the app before closing it down. They come out as PDFs and can then be stored on a laptop.Main thing to note is that the device needs to be close alongside the phone, otherwise a reading simply isn’t taken. This confused us as we thought a couple of feet away would work. It doesn’t.Overall, a convenient device and not having a subscription is no problem for us.At the local NHS Arrhythmia Clinic they were very interested in my other monitor and asked me for full details. I will also tell them about this one.Recommended.Update: the downside to this monitor is the requirement to sign into the app to use it. Sometimes you want a quick ECG, and faffing around first before you can get the reading isn’t helpful. We wanted to get a reading just now and finally opted to use the original device we had, where you can get a reading, then sign into their app to download it. It is the difference between an ECG device having some intelligence and memory of its own, and having this simple finger pad that needs an external brain. So, not as highly recommended.
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant device and useful.
I started having issues with palpitations in 2021 but whenever the surgery or hospital did an ECG everything was normal, when I had an incident I wasn’t being monitored. I bought this little device, so neat it fits easily into a handbag pocket and I can keep it with me so that when I ‘have a funny turn’ I can monitor what is happening and the results are recorded to show my GP or consultant. Excellent piece of equipment and well worth the money as I am now able to get help to control these symptoms and get the problem under control rather than risking a heart attack or stroke.
Ready to use within seconds
EKGs can be very frustrating because you have to catch irregularities “in the act.” This device has been marvelous. When I feel a heart flutter, I can have it ready to take a measurement within seconds. It gives the time and date of each episode and has a diary function to tell the circumstances of the irregular episodes. My cardiologist was thrilled that I had it and said it was helpful to him to help him see what I could not adequately describe with words. I am so grateful for this convenient and inexpensive device that is helping me and my doctor visualize what is going on with my heart!
Excelente producto

Quick Set-Up
This monitor was recommended by my Nurse Practitioner and I must say, it was easy to use. Once you download the app, it can be used within minutes.Instructions are brief, but clear, especially in outlining what it should and shouldn’t be used for. It can record your results , which is great for tracking purposes.If your healthcare professional recommends this type of monitor, this particular product works great.
O aplicativo KARDIA não está disponível no Brasil
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.
