heart rate monitor ·

I don’t write reviews but on this one I have to say thank you. This app probably saved my life or at least helped prevent a stroke. I have been having dizzy spells for quite awhile but despite numerous trips to cardiologist and neurologist we could not find the issue. I was told about this app by my cardiologist and I installed it in his office. It picked up elevated heart rates and lead to having a second heart monitor being placed. Within 24 hours of having the monitor afib/flutter was diagnosed and I have been placed on the proper medications. I want you to know the heart rates posted on the site matched the rates being picked up by the monitor. The only difference was the monitor showed the rhythm the doctor needed. I feel comfortable knowing that I can monitor my heart rate using this app and if I see issues can bring it to my doctor.

I have a personal reason for using Cardiogram. I had an acute MI almost 20 years ago. That event damaged my heart’s internal pacer. Subsequently, I often suffer dysthymia... poor internal control of my heart rate. My heart runs slow... my bradycardia is in the 50’s and goes as slow as the 30’s during sleep. As you might guess, I have an embedded pacemaker. Having a heart make random transit into error modes like A-Fib and Bigeminy is rather scary. I am thankful to this app’s developer(s) for their commitment to measuring one’s heart pace continually. I find the recorded results helpful to authenticate my heart’s excursions to my Cardiologist. I find myself ignorant of the method to chronicle my heart’s data via Cardiogram. I want to give my cardiologist a general idea of the ‘roller coaster’ ride my heart beat changes cause during times awake and asleep. If you have any doubts why you might be feeling uncomfortable or nauseous, or you suspect your heart is slow or racing, this tool will testify to the events a heart clinician should be made aware of. It is a ‘wake up call’. Cardiogram is a simple comprehensive tool. As of it’s latest release version, as a cardiac patient and a retired software engineer, I am impressed with it. Give it a try...

For those of you that think you are possibly at risk or have family history, you need to really think about getting this app. Plus it’s free! I woke up to my heart not beating right. Decided to put my watch on and check it out. Results came back 3x Atrial Fibrillation. Not a heart attack, iWatch doesn’t detect that. It was enough for me to head down to the ER. The staff was like “yeah sure, your watch told you”. They took me back did the “official ECG” they were like oh!? Waited a bit to see one of the ER Dr’s and he was in disbelief and still shrugging it off. He checked with his stethoscope and the look on his face was priceless. He turns to the nurse and was “yep Afab”. Even though he had the official ECG report. I Spent a couple of days and got my heart back in the right rhythm, and feeling better. The nurses and even the cardiologist themselves were in disbelief. They were amazed at how accurate it was, and even loved how it showed measurements too. This is a great device to have for those at risk or even possibly think they might be, you should highly think about getting this. Mando

I was skeptical about an app that made such claims as Cardiogram did, especially for the free version. Either they would kill you with ads, or limit its functionality to near zero. I am pleased to report that neither is true. Ads live at the bottom of the screen, and all the functions that I want are there. The paid version includes the ability to generate and share reports. While such a function is very desirable, it is not mandatory for the effective use of this elegant app. Bravo Zulu to the developers for offering mega value with pestering for money on every click.

Always worked perfectly but I just got the new iPhone 11 Pro which has three cameras. The camera that the app uses is the bottom right camera but the flash it at the top left. Considering how the technology works this means that you cannot get a reading anymore as the light does not enter your finger. The camera that is used needs to be swapped within the software of the app, else it’s not possible anymore to get a reading - it just gives a poor signal quality error message each time. 😞 Please fix! Thanks
