“My mother in law bought this product because she suffers from paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and wanted to be able to tell when she has slipped out of rhythm. Since I work at the hospital in the monitor room looking for just such arrhythmias, she asked me to look this over and see if the readings are legible enough to tell if something is off AND if they are accurate. Every one of the readings has been correct so far after multiple tries, and since I tested it on myself i even spotted some PACs that I didnt know I was having. Very good product and incredibly simple to use. The app is simple, and though I would like to see some more options, it works very well for what it does. Very good product.”
“It arrived a day faster than promised, was easy to set up and has been super easy to use. Over the past few weeks it has put my mind at ease after I was told I had VFib during my recent annual physical. Not a sign of any problem since then, according to my SonoHealth device, and I plan to use the stored EKG and pulse information when I meet with my doctor to discuss possible medications. The pulse rate counter, unlike so many medical devices used in doctors offices, matches perfectly with finger-wrist pulse rate readings. There are multiple sites on the body that yield accurate data. Great product at a bargain price.”
“I purchased the SonoHealth EKGraph because it is cheaper than the Kardia (that is frequently advertised on television), and I needed a way to document the arrhythmias I have been experiencing prior to my upcoming annual physical. The EKGraph is very easy to set up and connected to the smart phone app that records and stores each test with no problems. I love that it does store the test results because the Kardia only retains the most recent test unless you pay them extra for storage. I think it is important for my doctor to see all the test results to get an idea of how often and what types of arrhythmias are showing up, so to me the free storage is a big plus. It is also fascinating to watch the EKGraph operate. You can watch your heartrate, and in my case, it sometimes jumps between rates pretty quickly. While this rate fluctuation is not recorded by the device, I am able to write down the rates I observed along with the date and time of the EKG so that I can share the full set of information with the doctor. I have a lot more peace of mind since I started using the EKGraph because I am discovering that the arrhythmias are mostly rate fluctuations and not "abnormalities." It's amazing to have advanced technology available at such a reasonable price.”
“I left a five star review under "company" an unfortunately there is no room to upgrade to six stars, my EKGraph was scheduled to arrive today, but actually came on Saturday, hurray!
I have been using it for the last three days and it has performed as advertised. I was able to send some strips to my PCP and am awaiting feedback from her. The only thing I would like is if it could distinguish AFib from the general Arrhythmia. The only things I've seen are a couple of "Accidental VPB"s, general classification of "Arrhythmia", and "No Abnormalities". Since I have a history of AFib, I would like to see those flagged instead of having to look for P waves in the strip.”
“I have had occasional problems with heart arrhythmia, beginning with a catheter ablation for atrial fib, about ten years ago. Most recently I had a weird feeling in my chest and was surprised, when I checked my pulse to find that was beating three times, and then skipping one. Three or four, then skip one,.. sometimes it would do as many as six or seven, before the 'skip'. This was disconcerting, but cleared up later that day and I knew that if I went to the doctor or ER, that they would see a normal EKG. I had heard about devices like the EKGraph, and a finally selected the SonoHealth product after reading some reviews about the competitor's products. I wanted to be able to record these irregular rhythms when they occurred, and send a copy to the doc, to see how serious it was, and if I needed to be concerned or take further action. It was several weeks after I got the EKGraph that I had another episode, which I recorded immediately. As it turned out, I had a family gathering the very next day, which included a friend of mine who is a nurse, and looks at EKGs every day. I showed her one of my "No Abnormalities" scans, from a few days earlier, and then the irregular one from the night before, and she said, "Oh yes,.. this is a PVC,.. ( Premature Ventricular Contraction, or something like that),.. very common,.. not a big deal,.. I see them all the time. I have an annual physical with my GP in a couple of weeks, and will show him these scans, but in the meantime I have a lot of peace of mind that I'm not about to have a heart attack. This gadget is worth every penny I paid for it and more. ( I might mention that the nurse-friend said that these were "very high quality scans", for a device that small and portable.)”
“Just want to throw my 2 cents in about these EKG devices. I bought the Kardia on Amazon almost a month ago. I bought it because the SonoHealth divice was on back order, and I wanted something right away. Well the Sono Health showed up two weeks ago, and I've been doing a lot of thinking about which one I'm going to return. The Kardia obviously is smaller, and it connects directly to the app on your phone and does a decent job. We're all different, and I know the A-fib can change in an instant, but it seems that a lot of the time, if I get an A-fib reading, I just do it again and it comes up normal. Also with the Kardia, after the first 30 days, you have to download and save your readings or email them to yourself to keep them if you don't want to spend the $10 a month for the servce. All in all, it does the job, but lacks in a few areas. Also, the battery was dead after less than 4 weeks. The SonoHealth unit is rechargable. it's self contained. I find myself as the days go by, grabbing this instead of the Kardia. It stores the EKGs internally, and you sync it to the app on your phone whenever you have the time. The readings are similar to the Kardia in the sense that I feel that there's false positives sometimes, but they are only $100 units. We can't expect perfection. I'm liking the SonoHealth a little more at this point because it's still pretty small, just as accurate, and I don't need to grab my phone and open an app every time I want to check myself out. I keep it in my pocket at work. So I don't have to go to the office to grab my phone or tablet. Also, I believe on their website, they still have a pre-sale price of $89. For what it's worth, I just figured I'd share.
I wrote this a week ago on an A-fib page on FB. I have since returned the Kardia and am keeping the SonoHealth. As time goes on, the ease of the accessibility and being rechargeable are the key reasons. Also getting questions answered by the company is a piece of cake also. Very fast to respond.”
“Much better product than the Kardia that I wasted my money on. Great app and great customer support. Accurate diagnosis as well. Highly recommended..”
“We just got this device 2 weeks ago. My husband and I are RNs & already use other home health devices: glucometer, sphygmomanometer, temporal thermometer, continuous glucose monitor, Apple Watch activity tracker, etc. One day last month I was having an irregular pulse. Since we participated in the Apple Heart Study and were familiar with EKG functions using the Apple device, my geeky”
