* $199
* Works on Android & iPhone
* Available in an integrated iPhone 5/5s case
* Approved by the FDA for professional & personal use
* Rests on your fingers or chest to record your electrocardiogram (ECG)
* Sends the info to your smartphone via an ultrasonic signal which is picked up by your phone's microphone
* The info can be uploaded to AliveCor's servers, where the FDA-approved AFib Detector will give an almost instant, highly accurate interpretation for free.
* You can then send the information to a board-certified cardiologist or your personal physician, who can perform further tests to confirm the diagnosis.
Awesome. I love this stuff. I am all for constant DIY tracking. Throw in a FitBit & a Wifi weight scale! The Scanadu Scout (aka the Tricorder) also does ECG, but it's not until next year. There's an excellent TED Talk called "Own your body's data" that is worth a listen if you have a few minutes:
