EMAY Portable ECG Monitor | Record ECG and Heart Rate | Compatible with Smartphone and PC (Grey)

Good in a pinch, results are accurate

I needed a quick, at-home way to do an EKG and pulse check at home. Read up on several devices and the EMAY stood out for among best reviews at this price point. I concur. It comes with easy- to- follow instructions and with my "average" skill level with Smart phone (for storing results) and syncing things up, this went very well. Price point perhaps a bit high, it runs about $100.00, give or take a few dollars. Seems to be working fine, I check it now about once a week. Great to have storage of measurements on IPhone app (which is a snap to upload). Just to be clear, you DO need an IPhone if you want to store the results. I have not yet attempted to share results with my doctor, but the option is always there.

This Emay EKG monitor is a great little tool to help you track your heart health. It is small, portable, easy to use, has a built-in long lasting rechargeable lithium battery And best of all, there is no subscription required. Therefore, no on going expenses. An excellent easy to understand user manual is included. It is immensely helpful. Do yourself a favor and refer to it as needed. It has the answers to most of your "how to" questions.Just so you know, I am 80 years old and not at all tech savvy. I had no problem setting it up, using it, downloading and installing the software from the Emay website to my PC and using the APP on my smart phone enabled by bluetooth. This is not the case when I usually get a new device. Generally my stress level goes into overdrive, Not fun.I found the power button needs to be held down a little longer than the 3-5 seconds noted in the instructions (probably due to my age). It also took me a while to get the correct hand position, grip, and pressure right for recording. After a few practice sessions, I figured it out. If someone like me can use this, you certainly can too. Get it, use it. You won't regret it.

Whatever problems people were reporting with this ECG monitor earlier, I think EMAY must have been paying attention and corrected them because I've been using it for a couple weeks with no issues. It's unbelievably easy to use--pretty much automatic.You need the app in order to see your test results. It's a piece of cake to download, and it's free. That's all you have to do--download it. No hoop jumping required. I downloaded it and it just showed up on my phone ready to go.I entered my name and date of birth once and now it shows up on every reading. I have yet to make the effort to set the time and date, I really should do that soon. There's space to enter notes on each reading if you want to.HOW IT WORKS: Turn on the device and hold it in both hands until it beeps. Open the app and click "Connect," it does, and your reading shows up on your phone. If you've taken a few readings without connecting, when you do, all of them upload in chronological order. I think there might be a limit to how many the app will hold on your phone, but so far, I'm up to seventeen.You can save readings as PDFs or as images in your photo file. From there, do whatever you want with them--save them, send them, like that.The monitor came with a charging cord, but I haven't needed to use it yet--it was charged up when I got it.This is a cool little device that gives me peace of mind. I'm happy to have it.

I have two a Kardia and this one. The kardia is easier to use,but requires a phone. This one you have to be a little careful using only two of the sensors otherwise the readings get screwy. Not too hard, but the kardia is just easy and more expensive
