Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought two different portable cardiac monitors and decided this was the better one. Here is the review I wrote, describing exactly what I did and found: Being uncertain about which portable cardiac monitor might be best to buy, I did some research. I found a video ratings site which put this device somewhat below others. The top-rated was by EMAY; however, I saw that KardiaMobile had some kind of FDA approval (for detecting Atrial Fibrillation) and the others I looked at did not. Since I have suffered from AFib for 20+ years, I figured that KardiaMobile might be sufficient for my needs, because it seems to be expressly designed to detect AFib (but not much else). I decided to buy both KardiaMobile AND the EMAY ECG Monitor. I planned to keep both devices, perhaps giving one to my sons. I found that the KardiaMobile I purchased is just a strip containing two electrodes that can work in conjunction with a cell phone application. It worked fine, but it had no capability to show, to store, or to interpret the data it took of your heartbeats. My iPhone App was required to receive the data and interpret it. On the other hand, the EMAY device could take the data, show it, and store it, independent of any cell phone. Then, when the cell phone was placed near the EMAY cardiac monitor, it automatically downloaded the stored data to show, store, and interpret, using my cell phone app. The app then also had the algorithms to detect several possible heart abnormalities. I believe that the heart tracing provided by the EMAY device was also superior to the KardiaMobile tracing. So, I returned the KardiaMobile and kept the EMAY portable cardiac monitor. I may just buy the EMAY for my sons as well.
