FDA clears AliveCor’s next-generation credit card-sized ECG device

AliveCor announced today that it received FDA clearance for and launched its next-generation KardiaMobile electrocardiogram (ECG) device.

Mountain View, California–based AliveCor touts the KardiaMobile Card as the slimmest, most convenient personal ECG device ever made, designed at the size of a standard credit card, fitting into wallets and providing a medical-grade, single-lead ECG in 30 seconds.

According to a news release, AliveCor’s KardiaMobile Card represents the first credit-card-sized ECG to garner FDA clearance.

“After disrupting traditional ECG monitoring with our game-changing Kardia platform, we have now achieved the unprecedented milestone of creating the first-ever credit-card-sized personal ECG,” AliveCor CEO Priya Abani said in the release. “KardiaMobile Card delivers the most sophisticated AI in the most convenient form factor ever, putting the power of real-time ECG analysis directly in patients’ wallets and furthering our vision of becoming the 24/7 virtual cardiologist for patients when they’re not in front of their physician.”

The KardiaMobile Card pairs with a smartphone via Bluetooth to detect six of the most common arrhythmias. It gives users access to cardiologist analyses of ECGs, monthly heart health reports and automatic sharing of ECG recordings.

AliveCor based the device’s algorithm on its AI-enabled Kardia technology and designed the device to resist weather, water and wear and tear to ensure that users can take an ECG recording any time, anywhere.

The KardiaMobile Card platform includes one-year access to KardiaCare, a heart health service offering more than 130,000 members a suite of advanced features to help manage and understand their health. It includes ECG evaluations by board-certified cardiologists, monthly reports to summarize ECG and blood pressure data, automatic sharing of ECG recordings with caregivers and the ability to detect a broader range of heart conditions.

“The availability of a personal ECG that fits in a wallet will change the face of remote cardiac monitoring for patients and healthcare professionals alike,” AliveCor Ambassador and Founder of the ReuveLab Dr. Darria Long Gillespie said. “As someone who lives with ventricular tachycardia and has treated patients with arrhythmias, I know how critical it is to access accurate ECG recordings in real-time.

“KardiaMobile Card has made this technology even easier to access, and it has quickly become the most valuable card in my wallet.”
