This thing is incredibly small, you could fit it in in a purse or wallet. More importantly it produces a lovely reading in leads I, II, III, AVR, AVL and AVF. I have spent 37 years looking at ECGs in intensive care units – just not my own usually. I can clearly see my ST elevation dropping every day. It is simple to export PDF’s so you can send them over to a GP or cardiologist. It takes a 30 second reading and will give basic arrythmia warnings. Most GP surgeries can’t do ECG’s so if you want avoid a trip to the hospital then this could be a lifesaver. It is really simple to use and Amazon was the best price I could get.

I bought this to have this diagnostic capability at home and in the field. I bought the Kardia unit specifically because it was the only FDA cleared device I found and because I read multiple reviews from cardiologists who liked it. It is easy to use and so far has seemed accurate.
I like the capability of doing 6-lead readings, and the potential for field adaptability is huge. However there are a few caveats… One, you must be in a comfortable and relaxed position for an accurate reading. If you are having to actively hold the unit in place or are pressing down on the pads, it will pick up a lot of muscle artifacts just like any other EKG would. Two, if you have mobility, joint, or other range of motion problems it can be difficult to get in a position that allows you to be comfortable and relaxed while simultaneously reaching both fingertip pads and your ankle.
I did a few test runs with this unit and shared them with a paramedic and critical care nurse. Both said the quality looked good and agreed with the device’s assessment (normal rhythm). I then took it to my next doctor’s appointment. The EKG tech looked at it and thought it was pretty cool and seemed to be accurate. Finally I ran this unit at the exact same time the tech ran a full 12-lead on me so I could compare, and the output was a match. So I would say this device is very accurate.
I was leery of the app and how much access to the data I would have based on some previous reviews, however I found that it does almost everything that I need without an expensive prescription. I can record my tests and keep a log, export (email / print) the ekg graphs, and the note feature is nice.
There are some analyses it does not perform without the subscription, which I find kind of silly – its already in the software and just not enabled, and if something like that is going on with my heart I definitely want to know and not have it withheld. I’m sure its great for some people but I don’t need the quarterly cardiologist review, and I don’t want my app dumbed-down just because I won’t buy a subscription that I don’t need. Perhaps Kardia would consider a one-time upgrade to enable the additional rhythms without subscribing to the doctor review.
The biggest issue I have is their app constatly berates you to upgrade and buy the subscription service. Its almost difficult to use the app because the in-app advertisements and misleading pages that keep pushing the service on you even after you’ve told it “no”. I really wish they would fix that. Its very frustrating and I almost returned the unit because of this, vut ultimately decided to keep it.
I live and work in a remote area, and really bought this device to give me more diagnostic capability in the field. After talking with a few seasoned paramedics including some who do maintenance and repair on professional fire/ems EKG units, I will likely be modifying my Kardia unit to accept standard snap-on EKG leads. I plan to solder button snaps onto each pad, which will allow the limb leads to be placed much more easily and on patients who can’t get into the necessary position for whatever reason. More importantly, the third lead can be moved around and although it is one slice at a time I can get a more complete picture of the heart when nothing else is available. I will do a lot of testing afterwards to see if there is any impact to the quality, and yes I know it’s not FDA certified for this modificiation etc. but the possibility here is amazing.
Kardia if you’re reading this: A version of this device that accepts actual wire leads and ideally has more total leads, and which is aimed at professional responders such as myself would be a game changer. For rural areas where volunteers are used extensively this could make a huge difference. I rarely have the fire truck there when I get on scene, and often we’re way back in the woods where lugging the equipment over rough terrain is difficult. Most of my gear is self-purchased and I don’t have a $20k Physio-control LifePak with me. But I would gladly buy a $200 or $300 portable unit like this out of pocket if it had these features. I would spend another $50 even on this unit if it just had detachable wire leads.

Simple to operate and accurate (I am a medical provider). Takes some fiddling and more pressure than expected to achieve sufficient contact of the left leg sensor with the skin for the device to detect that lead. Overall a very handy, compact, quick, very basic heart rhythm monitoring device to have available in the field. Obvious limitations since only 6 leads, not 12 but useful nonetheless within its limitations.

Saludos, les quiero compartir mi experiencia con respecto a este dispositivo de AliveCor.
Debo admitir que al principio tenía mis dudas, casi no hay reseñas en español, y algunas reseñas desfavorables en inglés con las que me encontré, me generaban cierta incertidumbre.
Sin embargo, al final decidí animarme, y adquirí el producto. Felicito a los vendedores, el envío fue extremadamente rápido, llegó antes de lo esperado y el producto cumple con todo lo que promete ser.
Tengo exactamente un mes, probándolo. Y hasta el momento todo sigue funcionando de maravilla. Funciona muy bien en el IPad de 7a generación, bien optimizada la aplicación. También funciona en iPhone, y he tenido la posibilidad de probar en otros dispositivos con Android, como Motorola y Realme. Es de gran utilidad para los pacientes que padecen de alguna afección cardíaca, ya que el dispositivo les brinda la autonomía para que ellos mismos puedan monitorizar su frecuencia y ritmos cardiacos.
Es verdad que a muchos les desagrada el apartado de la suscripción, ya que para tener la opción de recibir el diagnóstico definitivo por parte de un cardiólogo primero deben contratar la suscripcIón pero bueno, cada quien invierte en su salud y en la información que desea recibir. Sin embargo, esto no debería causar que al producto le den una menor calificación de lo que se merece.
Yo considero que lo básico que incluye el servicio gratuito es más que suficiente en la mayoría de los casos, para que las personas lleven una monitorización de la actividad de su corazón.
A mí me ha parecido de verdad muy útil este producto. He podido identificar ritmos normales, fibrilacion auricular, taquicardias sinusales, e incluso observar si hay desviaciones del eje cardiaco que pudieran representar la presencia de algún otra enfermedad más grave.
Es un dispositivo que va más orientado a un tipo de medicina “preventiva” y está enfocada primordialmente para las personas con afecciones cardíacas y no tanto para el público en general. Aunque como les mencioné hace un momento, depende de cada persona y que tanto quiera cuidar su salud.
Obviamente si quieren más precisión acudan al hospital, o cómprense una máquina de más de 2000 dólares. No le pidan milagros a Kardia 6L.
Saludos.

O produto é muito bom, mas o aplicativo não está disponível para o Brasil. Para conseguir usar, tive que acessar a conta Google do meu irmão que mora em Portugal para baixar o app no celular. Ele funciona muito bem e faz o ECG em 6 derivações.
Só não vai ganhar 5 estrelas por essa dificuldade de baixar o app.

Ich habe mir den AliveCor Kardia Mobile 6L EKG-Monitor gekauft und bin absolut begeistert. Das Gerät ist Smartphone-kompatibel und ermöglicht 6-Messungen, die äußerst präzise und zuverlässig sind.
Ich bin besonders zufrieden damit, dass das EKG meine doppelten Herzschläge (Extrasystolen) problemlos erkennt. Die Genauigkeit der Messungen gibt mir ein hohes Maß an Vertrauen in die Ergebnisse. Es ist beruhigend zu wissen, dass ich meine Herzgesundheit so einfach und bequem im Auge behalten kann.
Die Anwendung des KardiaMobile 6L ist sehr einfach und benutzerfreundlich. Das Gerät lässt sich problemlos mit meinem Smartphone verbinden und die EKG-Aufzeichnungen werden direkt in der App gespeichert. Die Darstellung der Daten ist klar und verständlich, was die Analyse meiner Herzaktivitäten erleichtert.
Ein weiterer großer Vorteil ist die Portabilität des Geräts. Es ist kompakt und leicht, sodass ich es überallhin mitnehmen kann. Dadurch bin ich in der Lage, jederzeit und überall ein EKG durchzuführen, was mir zusätzliche Sicherheit gibt.
Alles in allem bin sehr zufrieden. Es ist ein zuverlässiges, genaues und einfach zu bedienendes Gerät, das mir hilft, meine Herzgesundheit besser zu überwachen. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen, der nach einem praktischen und effektiven EKG-Monitor für den persönlichen Gebrauch sucht.

This little gadget provides peace of mind, EKGs that can be reviewed by a cardiologist, can help you understand why you feel “iffy” at anytime. Great purchase. Don’t hesitate. it is accurate, fast, easy to use, so simple a caveman can do it ;).

I’ve owned a few low cost home EKG devices, and this is by far the best, but there are some drawbacks…
Pros:
– Device and app are easy to use to take an EKG.
– Creates a nice 6-lead reading that can be saved in a PDF and sent to doctors (several have said this is useful and helps).
Cons:
– Requires a paid subscription if you want it to tell you about more than the most basic results (it will ignore and not tell you certain things unless you pay).
– Requires a phone/app to use it.
– Not marked for orientation which can be a problem if you don’t use it often and remember (have to remember their company logo and which way is up, which isn’t obvious).
– To avoid the paid subscription, you have to go through extra steps to save the results/PDF of each reading.
– The paid subscription is a money grab which forces you to buy services you may not need so you can also unlock the full result reporting in the app, which other devices provide as part of the purchase cost.
– Very often doesn’t sense/read well so skin almost always has to be moistened in some way (never had this problem with other competing devices).
This takes an EKG by holding the device with two hands (thumb/finger holding each side of it) and placing the back of it on your leg just above the knee, and holding for 30 secs. The app is easy to start and indicates if it is reading and the progress. Then shows the results, allows you to add notes, and you can also save/export it as a PDF.
The results are very useful and good, though I found we often have to dampen the skin to get good contact and a good reading. The device is small enough to carry with you, and you can also use your ankle instead of your leg/knee for a 6 lead reading, or just your hands for a simpler 2 lead reading (like the lower cost model of this device).
I definitely recommend it, and it is great for catching those events that only occasionally happen, so you can them send/show them to the doc. It’s also useful for things like eliminating false worry, or recording things and adding notes, for them to be reviewed by your doctor. I don’t like they way they limit the app function (reporting certain detected conditions) unless you pay a monthly subscription fee to keep in unlocked, but it will report the most basic ones, and if you just send/show this to your doc for review, the subscription isn’t really needed.

OK, I’m not a Dr. so I can’t comment on the different lines. But it’s easy to use and it will tell you if there’s any abnormalities. At first I had problems with dry skin but a bit of saliva cured that. I also tried the tiniest dab of some Spectra 360 electrode gel and it REALLY liked that connection! After 30 seconds the test is done and it gives the results. It confirmed what I suspected, that I was still alive and yes, I do have a working heart. More than that is beyond me. I see my cardiologist next week and I’ll bring my phone with the recorded graphs.
If one wants to subscribe to a service there’s more data to be had. Or there is a place in the app to get a cardiologist to look at it for a fee.
I don’t intend to go overboard with testing but as a heart patient I think it might help answer questions I have once in awhile and look at things in the long term. If not from the built in diagnostics then if I share the traces with my Dr.
I think it might be a valuable tool to monitor the heart after different activities, such as before, during, and after the gym. EKGs can be labeled.

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.
