Product Information

Full details

The AliveCor KardiaMobile is an essential tool for individuals seeking to monitor their heart health with medical-grade precision from anywhere. It offers a convenient way to detect common heart rhythm irregularities, such as Atrial Fibrillation (AF)—a leading cause of stroke—in just 30 seconds, providing more detailed data than typical smartwatches. However, it's crucial to remember that it is not designed to detect heart attacks and should not be used with pacemakers or ICDs.

How do I share my ECG results with my doctor?

You can easily email your ECG recordings directly from the Kardia app to your healthcare provider, or save them on your phone for future reference.

What is the typical battery life of the KardiaMobile?

Troubleshooting

KardiaMobile not connecting to smartphone

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. Restart the Kardia app and your phone. Make sure the KardiaMobile device is close to your phone. Check if the device's battery needs replacement if applicable (app will usually notify).

ECG recording fails or is unreadable

Ensure firm but gentle contact of both index fingers on the sensors. Remain still and quiet during the 30-second recording. Avoid talking, moving, or using other electronic devices nearby that could cause interference. Make sure your hands are clean and dry, but not excessively dry.

App displays 'No Signal' or 'Weak Signal'

Reposition your fingers for better contact with the sensors. Ensure you are not in an area with strong electromagnetic interference. Try taking the reading in a different, quieter location.

Battery low or device not responding

If the app indicates a low battery, replace the coin cell battery (CR2016). Refer to the user manual for instructions on battery replacement. If the device is still unresponsive after battery replacement, contact AliveCor support.
