This is a great health tech supplement. Since heart disease is the silent killer, this should be a great addition. So far, the single lead EKG is easy to run and see. I am still working to figure out the 6 lead version.
They don't tell you that you need the membership to see the rest of the report for a 6L Kardia Mobile. I didn't find that out until I bought the thing and tried to see everything. So they get you coming and going. I'm hoping this thing is accurate, but I've already seen discrepancies with my Apple Watch with heart rate. I can be in full blown tachycardia and this thing says normal (so there's a 5-10 bpm difference at times by the time the reading happens). It seems to average the heart rate at the end, which in my view doesn't give my doctor the full scope of what was happening during the event. I make notes, but you'd think this thing would say 95-105 bpm so you know the range that was going on while you were taking the reading. I'm not happy I have to pay extra for the membership. My doctor asked me to get this thing. Yeah you can use your HSA card, but its still coming out of my pocket. And I couldn't use the HSA for the membership, that's linked through your Apple ID and card on file.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I received this as a Christmas (2024) gift. I've yet to get a clear EKG reading! It's always a graph that is scribbled across my display! I've tried moving away from computers, electrical outlets, etc. with no luck. Hard to move away from my phone when I need it to take the EKG.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

bought it several months ago and I have found it useful to monitor events of my atrial fibrillation (quiet one). For such money, it is really good small assistant.
Pros: Accuracy, Easy to use, Mobile App (Kardia), Comfort, Durability
