Customer Reviews
Pay to store your ekg on your own phone?
The device is ok. It requires you to be extremely still and honestly I'd rather have a real ekg device like a holter monitor as this is useless if your hands shake at all. I have episodes all the time and this device fails to read them correctly.
Not to mention you have to pay to store any recordings on your iPhone?? I just paid $100 bucks for a device that won't even let you store your crucial heart recordings on your own phone. Basically this company isn't here to help you they are just here to get that check in the mail.
Useless device
I just wasted my money for a useless device.
First impression: Scam
1st: it says nothing about having to. create an account or in-app purchases when you buy the device.
2nd: you have to tell it your entire medical history before you can use it.
3rd: you have to wait up to 24 hours after you set it up before you can actually use it. They say that a "real" doctor must review your first EKG before you can continue to use the app and the $100 device.
Now comes the good part.
The first EKG that you run after you have been cleared to use the app comes back as "unclassified ".
That means that the app can't tell if it's normal or not.
No worries, it then directs you to a page with two options.
1- $20 for a doctor to review the EKG, or,
2- $10 for a physician's assistant to review it.
After I refused, all of the subsequent EKG's came back (classified as) normal.
BTW, I have already been diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation and have regular episodes of A-Fib.
Opinion: this app / device is designed to appear to be a real medical measurement device, but it's not.
You tell it what you already know about your health and then you pay them extra to "confirm it".
On top of that, it needlessly requires the use of your microphone so that it can include a recording of what was going on while you were taking the reading.
Totally useless.
REVIEW UPDATE: 29 May 17
To be fair, I subscribed to the service to see if the results might turn out better. The analog of giving in to a ransom demand.
I created a report that I sent to my doctor. It included one event of A-Fib, and the rest equally split between unclassified and normal.
My cardiologist said that all were basically worthless because they contained too many "artifacts".
My research revealed that artifacts are signals from sources other than the heart.
If that was so easy for my doctor to see, then why didn't the Kardia app just reject those results.
One theory is that they would rather sell you an analysis.
I'll wait until the time limit to return the device approaches to make up my mind.
As of now I still think that it's worthless.
