Alivecor
a duo of devices that provide a smater and superior service to traditional heart monitors
The AliveECG app and the AliveCor Heart Monitor can be used to capture ECGs anytime, anywhere in a more flexible way than traditional heart monitors, which may have a maximum recording window of 30 days, uncomfortable leads and no immediate display. The AliveECG app helps inform clinical decision-making through immediate detection of AF in ECGs and patient engagement by tracking medications, symptoms and lifestyle activities. The AliveECG app was designed specifically for consumers to give them an easy way to self-manage and track their symptoms. Patients can use the AliveCor Heart Monitor and AliveECG app to share their ECGs and insights with their physicians instead of paper-based logging and manual pulse monitoring. Published clinical studies have also demonstrated the utility of the device in post-procedure monitoring . Patients often remark on the ease of use , low cost, portability, and -- most importantly -- the peace of mind they enjoy with the AliveCor Heart Monitor.
