KardiaMobile Card Credit-Card Sized EKG, Medical-Grade & FDA-Cleared Personal Heart Monitor, Bluetooth Enabled, On-The-Go Check-Up Anywhere, Compatible with Most Smartphones, No Subscription Required

The KardiaMobile credit-card sized device is practical and easy to carry anywhere. You simply place your fingers on the sensors and, through the compatible app, get a reading within seconds that can be saved on your phone. My husband has been using it for the past two months and is happy to have it. He likes that it’s simple to use and that he can check his heart rhythm when he feels the need. It’s also reasonably priced for the peace of mind it provides. Compact and convenient to keep on hand.

I’ve been using the KardiaMobile 6-lead for about 4 years and am very happy with its abilities. I just purchased the KardiaMobile card and have started using it when I don’t have access to the 6-lead. The setup was easy. Just follow the prompts in the app to get established. To turn on, just squeeze the on button between your thumb and index finger and feel the click. To keep the device on, you have to touch the two electrodes with your thumbs within 10 seconds, or it turns off. I would have liked a longer time for this disconnect, as I usually am trying to look at the screen on my iPad/iPhone and need an extra finger to select my options. Still, once you get used to it, this becomes less of an issue. Holding the card between your fingers can result in a great deal of artifact on the tracing, due to minor shaking/vibrations of your thumb. With concentration, you can lessen this movement, or just place the card on a flat surface and use your index fingers. The card only provides a single lead tracing, but in most cases that is all you need. Rarely, one of the other 5 leads on the 6-lead device might help clarify the rhythm, but most of the time in the emergency department or sitting in the back of an ambulance, a single lead is sufficient. Remember the old medical student axiom, “fast or slow, regular or irregular”. That is what this device will tell you. A fast rhythm can make you feel exactly the same as a slow rhythm or an irregular rhythm. To be honest, the main advantage of this device is to capture a rhythm when you are away from your physician’s office so you can take it and show it to her/him. I can’t tell you how many times a patient will describe some irregular feeling in their pulse, yet when I hook them up to my monitor, their rhythm is stone cold normal. It is a game changer to have a copy of that weird rhythm captured by this device. As others have noted, this device won’t tell you if you are having a heart attack - nothing will replace an EKG. It will tell you “fast or slow, regular or irregular”. It takes a fair bit of training to sort out the various rhythms your heart can produce. An irregular rhythm is not always atrial fibrillation. Extra beats - SVE (PVCs/PACs); atrial flutter; various types of heart block; etc…, can all look similar on a single lead rhythm strip. The best strategy is to take your reading and show it to your physician. Don’t get hung up on trying to integrate with other technology, parameters, or communication. Just keep it simple. You can also take advantage of the cardiology consult that this company offers, for a quick assessment. Some reviewers complain about the battery life of only around 2 years. At $50 a year to tell me if my meds are keeping my PVCs under control, that’s a bargain, just skip one restaurant bill a year. Remember, regardless of what you think your rhythm shows, or the device says, if you feel bad, that’s your body speaking to you. Call 911 or get someone to take you to an ER - NOW!

I recently received my KardiaMobile Wallet-Sized EKG Device. First of all, I am amazed and so thankful at what the latest advances in technology have bestowed upon us. This little credit card size EKG machine is a literal life saver for me. Let me also say that I am not a technically oriented person, so I was a little intimidated at first. However, right out of the box the KardiaMobile was extremely quick and easy to set up. The cell phone app, and the registration process were also easy to do. Initially, I also had a question or two, so I called the customer support phone number that was located right in their little instruction booklet. I must say that the customer representative I spoke with was very receptive, patient and helpful. This entire simple set up process made me feel a lot more secure and at ease about using the product. The KardiaMobile is valuable to me for many reasons. One of which is that I had been diagnosed with “AFib” (Atrial Fibrillation). After my initial diagnosis a few years ago, my AFib occurrences were less frequent and thankfully they resolved themselves within a few hours. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case, and thus my AFib episodes have become more concerning. These AFib episodes I have are now more frequent and last much longer than they have in my early stage of diagnosis. Unfortunately, I have other health issues that can otherwise confuse these AFib episodes. I am so thankful that this technologically advanced KardiaMobile is able to confirm my AFib and verify when I am back in sinus rhythm. I am so happy that I can just carry it in my wallet making it available to me everywhere. It also uses Bluetooth technology so I don't have to concern myself with any lack of wifi or bad cellular reception areas. Appreciatively, with regular use of this amazing tool I can see if there is a particular pattern to these episodes so that I can note any triggers that I may be able to avoid in the future. I now have a record of these events that can give my cardiologist a more accurate picture of what has been occurring, both in frequency & duration. Needless to say, the KardiaMobile is a valuable tool for me and has totally met my expectations and beyond!

The reviews you read here about being forced to join the KardiaCare subscription plan are pretty accurate. No where in the sales pitch on the product page does it mention this requirement. Once you unbox and open the tiny folded manual, it states at the end that "this device only functions with KardiaCare". I was thinking that I saw where KardiaCare had a free and a paid version. So I downloaded the app, thinking I would just select the free plan and be go to go. No. Once you start the app, the entire process is devoted to getting you to either sign up for the monthly subscription for $9.95 or the yearly at $99. There are no options to select the free plan. I kept clicking the X in the top right of each dialog that wanted my credit card. The app finally logged me out and I logged back in and after clicking another X to close yet another dialog, it allowed me to the screen to set up the device. I attempted to turn on the device and it would not turn on. I was about to box it up and take it to the post office to return when I placed the card on a hard surface and pressed as hard as I could and I felt the click under my finger and it turned on. While I was reading the screen, the device turned off after the 10 second no-activity kicked in. I turned it back on, and managed to follow the screen to a successful ekg for my wife. I would not recommend this product to anyone that isn't willing to join an additional subscription. I honestly feel like I was the victim of a bate and switch scheme. I am very tech savvy and it was very difficult to wiggle my way to the free version of the app. I have attached a screenshot of the screen that appears directly after the ekg results were displayed. See how they are no options other than X. I'm sure I will be harassed by these dialogs which is why I will most likely return this device. Consumers shouldn't be treated like this. What if this happened on every device we bought?

Very convenient way to check your heart activity. I saw the AD on TV for this product and thought it'd be a useful tool just to check things to see if maybe there's a skip in beats or palpitations, or whatever. Here are some things I've found to take note of with this card: 1.) The card itself runs on a lithium battery - and the manufacturer states in the documentation, that when the battery fails or is no longer effective, you can contact support for a replacement card. 2.) You can, but it's not required, sign up for a membership through the APP, which gives you additional benefits and reviews of your readings. The membership cost is $9.99 a month, so if you're really concerned about your readings, this might be a good choice. I chose just to get my results saved directly on my phone. The APP saves your results by day and time, and allows you to tag each run, and enter comments on how you are feeling at the time of the EKG. There's an option to view your history too. 3.) The APP requires that you create an account, and also to generate a profile (height, weight, and DOB). 4.) The card is lightweight, and fits easily in a wallet. 5.) The Bluetooth attachment is quick, and you are prompted to launch your EKG once the card is powered on. The button on the card could be better, as pressing it repeatedly, I can't tell if it's on, or in some other state, since it blinks, but then goes solid, then goes out. Once it's on, the small LED is solid amber, and you only get 10 seconds to place your fingers on the pads before the card turns off to save battery power. Whenever the card is inactive for 10 seconds, it turns itself off. 6.) The EKG readings run for 30 seconds. During which, you need to be in a stable position. I've noticed that once you touch the pads if you're not settled, the readings are all over the place. It also prompts to rerun the EKG if things are off the scale due to movement, or if your fingers lose contact. 7.) The APP allows you to save your results as a PDF, and prompts you for a password for encryption, which is good security, and you can send that PDF off to your doctor or cardiologist. This is a great feature. 8.) Following the completion of the EKG, it does its own quick analysis, and posts the results at the top of the screen, such as: 'Normal Sinus Rhythm', and includes your heart rate's beats per minute during the EKG. You can also manually enter in your blood pressure, or connect to an Omron monitor, if you have one. To summarize, this is a handy tool, that is easy to use. As for accuracy of results, I have no idea unless you can compare the results taken at the same time at a cardiologist's office, when they have all the sensors attached to you, but it would be an interesting validation. 4 stars instead of 5 you say?....Price. I think it's a bit costly.

Simple to set up and use - it needs an app you download from Google Play. Clever little gadget, it takes an EKG and has enough diagnostics built into it to let you know if you're experiencing Afib or not. If you're concerned about unnoticed Afib, this is a great help for your peace of mind.

I find this product to be of excellent quality overall; however, a significant limitation I've encountered is the lack of connectivity with Apple Health for data transfer. Currently, the device does not integrate with Apple Health, preventing the seamless sharing of collected data. The inclusion of this feature would greatly enhance the product's usability and value, allowing users to centralize their health information within the Apple ecosystem. Therefore, I strongly suggest that integration with Apple Health be considered for future development and updates.

I recently got my hands on the KardiaMobile Card Personal EKG Monitor and have been quite impressed with its performance. Its convenience and accuracy stand out, making heart health monitoring easier and more accessible than ever. The KardiaMobile Card’s ability to provide accurate EKG readings in a matter of seconds is remarkable. It offers peace of mind, especially for those who need to monitor their heart regularly. The device connects seamlessly with my smartphone, and the accompanying app is user-friendly, providing clear and understandable results. Despite its impressive functionality, the monitor’s ultra-compact size, while a significant advantage for portability, has its downside. I’ve found it a bit too small for my preference, making it somewhat easy to misplace or lose track of. This is a minor inconvenience compared to the overall benefits, but it’s something to consider if you prefer larger devices or have a tendency to misplace small items. Overall, the KardiaMobile Card Personal EKG Monitor is a fantastic tool for anyone who values convenience and accuracy in heart health monitoring. Its size makes it incredibly portable, although a bit challenging to keep track of. If you’re looking for a discreet and efficient way to keep an eye on your heart rhythm, this device is definitely worth considering.

Card does not work. Very disappointed that this was disclosed

Ne fonctionne pas, l’application ne mentionne pas ce modèle. Testé avec le médecin traitant cardiogramme illisible. Pour la santé c’est pas fiable du tout. Ça aurait dû rassurer et au contraire ça stressé puisque le médecin ne peut me suivre à distance.

Very easy to use, so small it fits in my wallet. Saved records enable me to discuss with doctor. Excellent.

This device although sold by Amazon AU, is not supported in Australia or New Zealand and according the Kardia in a phone conversation WILL NOT WORK in these countries. Do NOT purchase unless it is for use solely in USA or Canada

I purchased this device on the advice of my doctor. I installed the app on my phone as per the enclosed instructions only to find the device is not listed, and therefore cannot connect to the app. It appears that the device is no longer supported.
