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... Review: The perfect, portable ECG device to take charge of monitoring your HEART health!!! - Well, we all become complacent about our heart health until it becomes problematic. This is why I bought this device as given a recent discovery of an issue with my heart, I needed to monitor both my BP and whether there were any anomalies occurring with extra arterial or ventricular beats. I chose this device, as it was compact and reasonably priced. I received the device quickly, however the seals on the box were broken. This was reported back to AliveCor, who quickly despatched a replacement. IN THE BOX -------------- 1. The Kardia Device 2. Phone Attachment case with 3M Sticker to attach to your phone* 3. Free Trial Access to 30 days of the Premium service. The premium service costs £9.99 per month (or £99.99 per annum as a 20% discount is offered). 4. Instruction card to allow for quick set-up including registering your account with your personal details. * I am mentioning the phone attachment case, which is about £10, as I did not realise this, was included and nearly ordered it as well, so please note you get it included. Personally, I feel the case is probably the extra piece of kit that most would prefer to be included, as it offers the option of carrying the Kardia device with you, and using more securely on a table or desk, given the sensitivity to movement of the device. The case retails at about £24.99, which is quite expensive. HOW IT WORKS _______________ You simply download the app from the App Store and pair your Kardia device and phone via Bluetooth. ON-APP WELCOME SCREEN --------------------------------- There are currently the following sections for tracked data: - 1. Electrocardiogram (EKG) - History, Last recorded EKG and button to 2. SmartRhythm Monitoring (which requires an iWatch AND Premium service to utilise). 2. Blood Pressure (History + ability to add blood pressure readings at your will) 3. Resting Heart Rate (History + add Resting Heart Rate - but this is a premium feature) 4. Weight (ability to add your weight) 5. Medication (Ability to add your medications and monitor how these impact on your heart health - but this is a Premium Feature!) 6. Insights (Premium Feature??) PROS ------- 1. This device is compact and simple to use. 2. Easy to take a reading on the go, and more importantly when these issues occur you are armed unlike when employing a device loaned from a hospital or cardiology service. 3. This kit is medical grade, which means it's accurate and your cardiologist will accept the results as being accurate. 4. EKG report instantaneously reports whether the reading is normal or not, and a graph is produced for download and retention. 5. Can be linked directly to your doctor or cardiologist via a code. 6. You can request a comprehensive analysis by a cardiologist of any reading at the click of a button on-screen and at a cost of £5.00. 7. Notes and voice recordings can be added to each EKG reading, so you can add symptoms, to provide a history or just to understand when you might have a future issue. 8. The cost is very reasonable for the accuracy and ability to run real-time EKGs for yourself. 9. There is a lot of additional information in the App, like Heart Education and access to external heart related resources/institutions. 10. The phone attachment is included, so the device can be clipped ono the back of your phone for use on the go. 11. The Colour-Coding of reports and data to show GREEN = Okay, YELLOW = Above Normal is a great and simple feature. 12. US customers can get the device replaced for $19.99 if lost/stolen with Premium Membership. CONS ------ 1. There should be a manual, even if small to explain the basic features. For example it is possible adjust the length of the EKG recording in the settings from 30 seconds to 1, 2, 3, 4, or even 5 minutes. 2. Many of the features are Premium, which means it becomes costly to access these services, like medication and resting heart rate. 3. The reports could be more detailed, especially given all the potential this device has and information collated. 4. Too sensitive to movement, as my cardiologist discounted some anomalies as slight movements. 5. I did one Clinician Review and it is returned as "UNACCEPTABLE- Baseline noise makes it difficult to do an accurate analysis; consider repeating study”. However, what noise does this refer to and why charge £5.00 if they state this? 6. Explanation of reports is too basic, and unless you have a little knowledge or real concern about symptoms, the device does not alert follow up. 7. There is no reduced price replacement device for Premium UK members! CONCLUSION ---------------- Well, overall this is a very handy device, which allows you to take charge of your health. However, I would say you do need to read up and learn a bit about EKGs also to understand how to read them yourself a bit, to accurately be able to monitor whether there is movement affecting the readings. The App could be much stronger, integrating the features and allowing a longer trial period. The 30-day trial period is not enough to understand all the features and evaluate the device's worth. Clearly, most are repeat customers if they gain value from something, and will have no qualms about investing in their heart health. I do think that a short manual would be ideal with this device, as there is a lot in the App and much to understand. You will note the Analysis Report above in the images states "no symptoms" but I do not always note the symptoms, as I want to see whether the report will come back with an issue. I did not realise that written notes could be added later. The phone attachment although seemingly good to allow access to the App on the go, may be problematic. It is perhaps better to be sat at a desk with the device flat, rather than in the air where movement can affect the readings. Personally, I would have preferred the snap-shut case to carry with me, rather than the phone attachment, which is not so easy to remove the device from. RECOMMENDATION ----------------------- Well, having learned a bit about how to read EKGs, I do have peace of mind about my heart. This device is worth the price, especially as it is medical grade to know your heart is functioning properly!!! ## Features - EKG ON THE GO: Take unlimited medical grade EKGs anytime, anywhere.
