John DesMarteau –
I got the EMAY 6L because I was having intermittent runs of PVCs. I’ve had PVCs all my adult life but lately they were coming a bit more frequently at times. I wanted to see if their morphology had changed from previous medical ECGs I had had. I am a retired physician with a lot of experience reading ECGs. Fortunately, there was no change.
To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much. Was I ever pleasantly surprised. The device is easy to use, very accurate if you allow the directions, and produces a standard single or 6 lead ECG. The directions come in two parts: Part I: Device and App, and Part II: PC Software (Windows and Mac). Unlike many things made in China (Emay, Inc. is located in Hong Kong), where the English-translation leaves a lot to be desired, the instructions are clear and make sense.
The device itself has all the functions you need, including the ability to easily review in the device any ECG you’ve taken.
The iOS app is likewise easy to use. Once connected via Bluetooth, and the “Connect” button tapped, any new ECGs are downloaded to your phone. Selecting the “Edit” button allows you to “Print”, “Share” or “Delete” ECGs you’ve chosen.
Tapping on a specific ECG without the “edit” button selected, and then tapping “Report”, and then “Share” gives you the option of sending the ECG as a PDF or saving it as an Image to your phone’s photo album.
I took a quick one lead recording just before writing this review, which you can see here.
A friend started having a premature beat arrhythmia and dizzy spells after I got the EMAY. It made it easy for me to determine his premature beats were not ventricular but atrial. He was able to go to his physician armed with a 6 lead ECG. This shortened the time for his doctor to arrange for him to wear a Holter monitor.
I did get a Kardia 6L to compare but sent it back. The things I didn’t like about the Kardia were: 1) Having to use my phone to use the device, and 2) the necessity of a subscription to get anything other than an atrial fibrillation determination.
The computer app (I use a Mac) is not as robust, in my opinion, as the iOS one. But is does allow you to delete any recording(s) you choose. It would be great if the iOS app allowed you to do the same. There is no specific share button. To share you have to choose “Print” and then “Save as PDF” or “Send in Mail,” if you use Apple Mail as your email client.
A couple of tips:
1) If your skin is very dry, or oily you might not get a good recording. If it’s dry, a little saliva to just moisten the tips of your thumbs and the place on your leg if you’re going to do a 6 lead recording works well. If, oily, wash your hands and the place on your leg. Some people buy ECG gel, but I don’t thinks that’s necessary.
2) If you’re having trouble keeping still, and can’t get a 6 lead, you can still get a good single lead by sliding the crook of your thumb and index finger against the edge of a table (a computer desk works really well) as far as you can until your index fingers point away from you. Then place your index fingers gently on the EMAY and rest your other fingers on the table.
All in all, this is a very well-made, and quite well-thought out product.

I already own two other portable ECG devices that I order 2 years ago and 1 year ago.
Neither are the “famous” advertised brand – because I knew people that had that companies products.
When I saw this was capable of 6 lead readings, I was very excited. I have had issue with my heart for a number of years, and only going to see the doctor every “n” months, means they are not around to observe intermittent issues.
There is another “famous” company that makes a 6 lead product, both of these seem to have some out since I last looked.
My decision on ordering the EMAY versus the “the other one”, in particular:
1. No subscription to get all features.
2. No cellphone REQUIRED to use.
3. PC and cellphone interface for downloading and studying data.
It was quickly delivered and works like a champ. Unlike some device, the bluetooth wireless connection worked find first time – although later I learned that if you have it in setup mode, it will not connect.
Have it at the record screen and then it works quickly.
You can review data on the device, the cellphone screen, the computer screen, or email/etc from the cellphone or print/pdf from the computer. Hard to ask for more than that. So easy to get a copy for your cardiologist. And the files are so small, I can keep them on my computer for later comparison.
The filter is quick good for getting out noise.
I do advise getting some “electrode gel” – available at fitness stores, etc. This helps with dry skin to get a good contact.
The diagnosis part seems to work well on at least the conditions I have (MUCH better than the prior units).
Besides PVC’s, PAC’s, I am sometimes in Atypical Atrial Flutter. This is an unusual condition – which only shows up in some people after heart surgery. But it is easy to distinguish that on the graph once you know what to look for. The unit diagnoses it as Atrial Fibrillation – which it looks quite a bit like.
I have attached an example of my flutter. My wife’s ECG looks like text book.
I had to scan the printout ! because Amazon does not accept PDF attachments!

The monitor is easy to carry and easy to use. The results are very accurate and helpful. It gives a detailed report on the phone. I highly recommend to buy this and the price is reasonable, too.

I purchased this portable EKG monitor following a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation. My cardiology team said it is very useful and were very impressed with how well it worked. It gives peace of mind to know how my heart health is doing using this monitor. And after about twenty five uses I still haven’t had to charge it! Very impressive. I also love that it connects with a phone app and computer and that the results are shareable as well via email. Nice and compact for easy portability.

It’s a little tricky to get a good reading. Just follow the directions, and it will read accurately. The most difficult thing to do is to stay absolutely motionless during a 30 second reading. My wife and I both tried it, and got the exact readings that our doctors get in the office. You have to be very careful of even taking a deep breath during a reading…depending on how you are resting your arms while the device is on your left knee. When you get it right…this thing is great. You might think a little pricey. I didn’t think so. The screen is big enough to read all by itself. THERE IS NO SUBSCRIPTION!!! You can download their app, and sync it to the device. Upload your EKG, and turn it into a file to email. ALL FREE!! It also has the ability to add users to keep the readings separate. I just had open heart surgery to replace a valve, and I am constantly monitored while running in cardiac rehab. The readings they get are exactly what this shows.
