AliveCor KardiaMobile Card is a credit-card sized, FDA-cleared personal EKG that records medical-grade heart rhythm readings on your smartphone in about 30 seconds. The KardiaMobile Card slips into a wallet so you can capture an EKG anytime symptoms or questions arise, without wires or a computer. Bluetooth connects the card to the free Kardia app to store, review, and share recordings with clinicians or caregivers. Lightweight and tested for everyday carry, the device is designed for fast rhythm checks and long battery life so it’s ready when you need it.

How quickly can I get a usable EKG with this card?

The KardiaMobile Card delivers a medical-grade rhythm reading in roughly 30 seconds using the sensors on the card and your smartphone. It requires no Wi‑Fi and no cords—just tap the card’s sensors while connected to the Kardia app. The process is quick enough to capture fleeting symptoms and easy to repeat when needed.

• Recording time: ~30 seconds to a finished EKG
• Bluetooth pairing to smartphone or tablet—no cables
• Simple finger placement on sensor pads for quick capture
• Automatic save and export options in the app

What heart rhythms can the device identify?

The device provides algorithm-based detections for common rhythm categories such as atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, tachycardia, and normal sinus rhythm. These automated results help you and your clinician spot irregular patterns, but they don’t replace clinical evaluation. Additional analysis and report features are available through the optional KardiaCare membership.

• On-device detection: AFib, bradycardia, tachycardia, normal rhythm
• Option to share recordings easily with healthcare providers
• Advanced features (like extended reports) via KardiaCare subscription
• Not intended to detect heart attack; consult care for acute symptoms

How durable is the card and how long does the battery last?

This model is built to endure being carried in a wallet and has been tested for everyday wear. The internal battery supports a minimum of approximately 2,000 recordings before replacement and the unit powers off automatically after brief inactivity to conserve energy. A visible light indicates power and activity so you know when a recording is taking place.

• Wallet-sized, ultra-thin design for everyday carry
• Battery rated for at least 2,000 EKGs
• Power button with blinking status light and auto-shutoff
• Tested for durability under normal wallet conditions

Who is this for? The KardiaMobile Card is suited for people who want fast, portable heart rhythm checks—those with known arrhythmias, intermittent symptoms, or anyone who prefers to document rhythm events between clinic visits. It’s also a practical tool for caregivers and clinicians who need shareable, on-the-spot EKG recordings. Note: it is not validated for use with pacemakers or ICDs and is not a substitute for emergency medical care or routine clinical evaluations.
