KardiaMobile 6-Lead Personal ECG Heart Rate Monitor - Detects Atrial Fibrillation, Trusted by the NHS, Results in 30 Seconds, Works with Most Smartphones, Supporting British Heart Foundation

Not a bad little device tbh, although some what awkward to use if you want to use the hands and knee/ankle function if your out and about but you could just use the single hands function, however i think its prone to interference( to close to wires or computer etc) if its at all noisy in or out including if its windy out which is when i need to use it sometimes as that is when i get symptoms that i need to monitor. i think its a great device and easy to use plus it does give quite a detailed ecg reading although i think it will give you a brief version of the results unless you pay for the a 12 month plan which includes 4 yes only 4 readings per 12 month as I read it OR you pay for individual readings £5 each as and when you require them which is what i have done but not always necessary as it does give you some results like "possible atrial fibrillation" so no need to send your report off but its probably an idea to contact your doctor or indeed hospital if you feel the need , i do believe its fairly accurate and i have seen data online to say it is also although the the medical field probably wont take the devices info over theres as i found out but i still argued my case with it and im glad i did as it has indicated a number of issues i have AF, Bradycardia and heart rate below 35 bpm, it will register things like unclassified or unreadable which i believe is just because it falls outside there parameters but you still get the ecg and can save it which i have done as those are the ones with the greatest heart faults on. its also got a function that you can add your own notes and symptoms to a recording bp etc plus choose other items from a list, i had looked at watches and sent one back before getting this device as it was useless tbh and totally incorrect, would i recommend this item ....simply yes i would for the money £150 for the 6 line one, my doctor recommended it to me and i have emailed the data over to them. It is CE approved on the item, i dont go anywhere without this item now im very pleased with it.

This might literally be a lifesaver. I have been able to catch episodes of afib on this NHS NICE approved device and send to my cardiologist, so he takes me seriously. It means I am now being prescribed medication to prevent stroke etc. It's incredibly easy to use and the free account does all I need.

After having a trip to A&E with a very slow pulse that would jump up to 130 then down to 40, I thought I'd try this. In hospital they did a 2 minute ECG but nothing showed up, and I was told the wait for a 24 or 48hr wearable monitor cod be a week and several weeks to diagnose the results, so I bought this 6L version as that's all my phone can use ( they are all different so check compatibility ). Within 3, 30 second checks, it picked up the missing beats and the app actually diagnoses the problem, mine being Premature Ventricular Contractions. As this is my heart and possibly my life on the line, I've signed up to the £9.99 monthly deal and sent of the ECG reading to a cardiologist for a proper human diagnosis for a £5 and it came back agreeing with the app. You can also enter blood pressure on the app and add notes to everything. You can even pair a BP monitor to the app. Everything was really straight forward, clear instructions and one happy customer. It's also sold by the British Heart Foundation, so it's not some rubbish of the internet that has no real medical benefit. Worth every penny. Just going to add an obvious bit of advice. If you think your having a heart attack or serious medical episode, then just call the emergency services first as every second counts with heart attacks.

It works, and would work well on those with certain conditions. The monitor is as simple to operate as is possible, and is light enough not to be a pain if having to keep in one's pockets all day. It doesn't come with any kind of display. One has to download the Kardia app onto a smartphone. That's the first problem - not everyone has a smartphone, or one with a reliable bluetooth connection. My issues with it stem from 1) the short time it records for - this was no good for me AT ALL. My problem is very infrequent, rather than an every other beat issue. And 2) the time it takes to connect it and start recording makes it unusable for cardiac events that have a short duration. One needs to unlock ones phone, scroll to find the app, open the app, set it to the 6-lead trace, then take the monitor out from whichever pocket and holder it's in, roll-up one's trouser legs or pull down tights etc, place it against the leg and then put the fingers on it - all before it can start recording. If they made this is such a way that it was worn as a pair of rings/bracelets/wriststraps, with a patch that could be worn continuously on the leg, and if it could be set to record continuously, as with a 24+hr tape, then I would have found it of use. As it is, I returned it. The other issue to keep in mind is the need for a subscription to their service if you have anything more than e.g. tachycardia. That is nothing more than gross American capitalism if you ask me. This is literally trying to help people save their own lives and yet they require you to pay as much for a year's subscription as they do for the device. Fair enough, most people should be able to get a reasonable diagnosis of what's ailing them within a couple of months. But if that's the case, just increase the price of the device by £20 and stop scrounging for more money! It gives you the option to save the trace/report, to export it as a PDF, and to change the level of detail included. Every time you try to export the PDF, it will remind you that they can't be responsible for securing your information if you download it. But tbh, with the amount of business hacking going on these days, it's safer downloaded to your device than in their data storage anyway. So this isn't knocking it - for many users, this will be a game-changer. For some, like me, it is inconvenient and simply not able to do what's needed. I will also say that the returns process for me was very simple. No quibble refund from Prime.

While one lead devices provide rhythm information, the extra lead gives some extra valuable insight to where the rythm is originating. I am not sure about the full ECG biew as it is extrapolated but I would not expect to replace an ECG machine with this. The key thing is that you can detect the P waves for those that have problems such as atrial flutter or similar. I was a bit puzzled in the beginning but the device works perfectly well without a subscription. It is very easy to use and if you have e problems a tiny bit moist at the skin contact points can make any difficulties go. I am not sure about the automatic diagnosis. I am a doctor with baseline ECG traning so for me it is enough. It usually gets the sinus rhythm right but it misses a bigeminy that lasted 15 seconds and it had some hard boundaries about what it considered tachy/bradycardia. I am very happy with the purchase a d I would definitely recommend this over the single lead version.

I bought this to keep tabs on an arrhythmia I know I have after it being recommended by my cardiologist. These items are now being used by NHS Scotland for similar reasons so thought I was in good stead. First device started disconnecting itself randomly after about 2 weeks and was returned for replacement. Second unit seemed ok and detected an abnormal rhythm (showed as “unclassified”) which my cardiologist instantly put me off work when he saw it and put me through more tests. These have taken over 2 months to complete and all have been negative including an exercise stress test that I exceeded the requirements of. I have been convinced since I took that reading it was a misread but obviously not going to argue with a Cardiologist as he knows much better than I do and he remains adamant it was a clear reading. After about a month this second unit started to show problems, needing about 8 to 10 attempts to get a full 30 second ecg reading usually cutting out during the test stating “Interference detected” “electrical interference” or “connection interrupted”. I also tested this by trying to get a reading, having multiple failures then using a friends Apple Watch which read instantly, followed by more failures by the Kardiamobile device. This got so bad that the device has now been returned for a refund and I will go back to my original intention of a smart watch with ECG capability. All in all my experience has been very poor with this device, has ended up in 2 returned units and my being off work for 3 months due to it (self employed so no sick payment either!)

Very easy to set up and use.

I have used the KardiaMobile Monitor for several years now. I have also paid a yearly subscription for the advanced determination. The standard KM worked well as long as I had a Normal Sinus Rhythm. But problems began a few months ago when it started reading Atrial Fibrillation. I submitted the reading to Advanced Determination", and atrial fibrillation was confirmed by the cardiac technician. However, when I showed the rhythm strip to my cardiologist he read "Premature Atrial Contractions." This is an extremely important distinction, as far as treatment and prognosis is concerned. There is no point in having the KM if it gives false positives. HOWEVER, I looked at all other available monitors and decided on the KardiaMobile 6-Lead Monitor. It costs £50 more, and is worth every pence of it. It is simply much more reliable., than the basic KM. It reads NSR when the basic KM reads AFib. (And the cardiologist reads NSR.) I therefore highly recommend the KM 6 lead. I have found the standard single lead KM to be useless. Too many false positives. Sending the strip at £10 a shot for a further reading is also useless. They cannot distinguish PAC from AF. To be fair AliveCor does recommend that a cardiologist read the strip. But why buy a product which gives incorrect readings? Even the Advanced Determination couldn't provide the correct reading.

Kardia mobile 6-lead device is better than the single-lead version as it gives a clearer picture of the ECG trace for heart arrythmias. However, the associated Kardia app is not downloadable in Singapore to Android users and the device is useless without the App. The solution is to "sideload" the Kardia app via APK from a number of sites, eg. APKPure. After installing the app, everything works perfectly.

The item seems to be very good quality and it works well, but you need to pay a subsciption to get more features from it.

Nao esta dando certo usei as explicacoes manuais ontenet ate agora insatisfeita se pudesse devolveria . Agora consegui fazer funcionar deve se usar o aplicativo de Micromed para ele funcionar . Agora está perfeito .

La differenza più grande tra un dispositivo KardiaMobile e una semplice frequenza cardiaca tracker, è che in realtà acquisisce un ECG, un'immagine del proprio battito cardiaco. Questo è molto simile all'ECG che si riceve dal proprio medico, solo una versione semplificata. Kardia Mobile utilizza l'ECG per identificare una fibrillazione atriale. Entro pochi secondi, il dispositivo può inviare una risposta automatica per farci sapere se il ritmo cardiaco è normale o se siamo in fibrillazione atriale. Le immagini o le strisce che il dispositivo registra ci appartengono. Se lo si desidera, si può anche inviare una copia delle immagini al proprio medico per un'ulteriore revisione. Kardia Mobile è lungo circa 3 pollici, abbastanza piccolo da poter essere facilmente portato in tasca o addirittura attaccato al retro del proprio smartphone. Sul dispositivo è presente un punto dove appoggiare le dita se si avvertono sintomi. L'accessorio trasmette quindi all'app Kardia sullo smartphone per fornire i risultati dell'ECG, che in genere richiede circa 30 secondi. Nella versione 6L che ho acquistato è possibile eseguire un ECG a 6 derivazioni del ritmo cardiaco, che è molto più accurato dell'ECG a derivazione singola disponibile sul Kardia Mobile originale. Ha dimensioni simili all'originale Kardia Mobile. Il vantaggio delle 6 derivazioni è quello di avere un quadro più accurato del ritmo cardiaco e una migliore capacità di diagnosticare un ritmo cardiaco anomalo. Avere 6 derivazioni significa che il dispositivo può osservare il ritmo cardiaco da 6 diverse angolazioni. I dati clinici supportano una precisione del 95%; con il Kardia Mobile, si ottengono ECG di migliore qualità appoggiando il sensore su un oggetto fermo, come un tavolo, e appoggiando poi le dita. Non tenere MAI il dispositivo tra le mani. C'è anche un servizio di abbonamento opzionale disponibile per chi possiede un prodotto Kardia come me; nell'opzionale servizio di abbonamento, si ottiene archiviazione cloud illimitata di ECG, un rapporto mensile personalizzato inviato a casa propria e monitoraggio dei farmaci. Ci sono molte fantastiche funzionalità comunque nell'app come l'analisi istantanea dell'ECG e l'invio illimitato di ECG via e-mail. CONCLUSIONI: Nel complesso, ritengo che il Kardia Mobile e Kardia Mobile 6L sono ottimi prodotti per il monitoraggio domiciliare della fibrillazione atriale di un paziente. Come ho affermato sopra, poiché la fibrillazione atriale è una condizione a lungo termine, è ottimo per i pazienti avere qualcosa a casa per monitorare i loro sintomi a lungo termine. Eventuali limitazioni dell'attuale algoritmo Kardia possono essere risolte chiedendo al medico di esaminare le strisce ECG ottenute dal dispositivo. Quando si tratta di monitoraggio di fibrillazione atriale, ritengo che i dispositivi Kardia siano i migliori monitor ECG domestici disponibili per i pazienti.

Funciona extraordinariamente bien. Antes usaba un smartwatch de Samsung y este dispositivo le da mil vueltas por facilidad de uso y calidad del resultado. El interfaz de la app en el móvil es un poco lioso y muy orientado a que te saques una suscripción, pero con no hacer caso, asunto arreglado. Este modelo cuesta poco más que el básico y tiene mejor funcionalidad, además de funcionar con bluetooth. El básico creo que no soporta BT, aunque podría equivocarme.
