Afib detection fantastic
I have written very few reviews for products, but I believe strongly that Kardia is an excellent tool for people with Afib. I have been using Kardia for a year and it is essential to my heart health. I can only speak to using Kardia with my Afib. For most of the year, I was in AFib and refused to get cardio converted — Kardia confirmed my Afib consistently and even with my 82-year-old mother. Then, once I was converted I saw through Kardia how my heart rhythm would change. My doctor did not think I would stay in sinus rhythm after my conversion because my heart had been out of rhythm for so long. He said I had a 40%chance that the conversion would work and keep me in rhythm. He said that over time, sinus rhythm begets sinus rhythm, and Afib begets Afib— so chances my heart would continue to beat properly we’re slim. I believe that by using kardia consistently, I have figured out several of my Afib triggers and I have avoided cardio conversion every time, as well as avoiding having an ablation. I always have the Kardia unit with me and check my heart rhythm twice a day. And, if I feel “off” I check it immediately. I have learned several of my Afib triggers — such as not using my C-pap machine, what stressful situations precipitate Afib, excess sugar, too much alcohol - and specifically what alcohol, too much red meat, being dehydrated, and overeating. I also learned that drinking lots of camomile tea have seemed to help me self-convert back in rhythm. Over the past six months, since my heart was converted, I have been in Afib for no more than 48 hours at a time — six or seven times. I believe that by knowing when my heart rhythm is off, I can be proactive with camomile tea and de-stressing which together have gotten me back in sinus rhythm. Once, when I almost exceeded the 48 hour limit in Afib my doctor had put on me for conversion, i sent his office an email of the Kardia reading. They were amazed at the accuracy and found it very helpful. I think it also helps when Readings are taken properly according to the directions.

Five Stars
Addition: I have read a lot of comments below giving very low ratings and stating the device is inaccurate and it worried them for a week or more until the GP said they didn't have AFib...
First: This is a tool. It can do nothing more than look at the data and look for a pattern and report what it sees. You can mess it up. If you move you can cause false readings. It cannot give you a 100% accurate diagnosis. For that, you will need a specialist.
Second: If you get one of these devices, REMEMBER THE FIRST POINT. You bought the device for a reason. Clearly, you were concerned about something. If the device is telling you that you have AFib then at least do yourself the favor of going to a specialist. DO NOT go to your GP except for a referral. My GP told me all the wrong things to do. She is a great doc but certainly was not trained in how to handle AFib.
Third: About the business model. I see comments complaining about the business model. Have any of you been to the ER lately? If you were to follow my GP's advice I'd be more than $5000 in the hole for an ER visit where I would know nothing more than I did before the visit and would have no treatment plan. The device, for its price plus a subscription that I gladly paid for is a fraction of the cost of an ER visit.
This is a tool for people. It can help you give a specialist more information. That is it.
Here are the facts on AFib:
People generally don't die from AFib unless they have other pulmonary issues. The biggest problem with AFib is stroke. The recovery from even a MINOR stroke is VERY EXPENSIVE. This $99 tool, plus the subscription probably prevented a stroke in my case. I'm no on a blood thinner and I have a plan for what to do if I have AFib events.
I also learned that there are many things that can contribute to AFib. Sleep Apnea. Diabetes, Excessive weight, diet. Etc. For $99 I think I've made some healthy changes in my life.
