How do I take a recording using my KardiaMobile?

This screen is shown when Kardia is ready to record an EKG and is the starting point for all KardiaMobile recording. It indicates that the Kardia app is ready and waiting for your KardiaMobile to begin recording.

To get started, have your KardiaMobile device with you. Place your phone and KardiaMobile on a table in front of you, no more than 6 inches apart. Place a finger from your right hand on the right electrode, and a finger from your left hand on the left electrode.

At this point the Kardia application will say it is initializing and a spinner as it connects, then you’re recording will begin.

If you are having any trouble completing your recording or feel like your recording is not as good as it could be, try reading this article: How do I get a clean EKG signal with KardiaMobile?

If your Kardia app is not responding at all you may be dealing with a drained battery or damaged device. Take a look at this article: How do I change or replace the KardiaMobile battery?

Please contact us at AliveCor support if you are having further problems recording.
