Review on Wellue DUOEK-S EKG Monitor: Record ECG, Heart Rate & Detect Irregular Heartbeat by Trevor French

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very impressive device for research purposes and family!

This is a very impressive device, giving around 500 readings on a full charge and is small enough to fit in a small shirt pocket. Although this device cannot replace an EKG machine in your doctor's office, it will provide you with valuable information. The device saves up to 10 readings on the device and transfers the data to your Android or IOS device when connected to the ViHealth app. The seamless transfer of data makes it very valuable for research purposes. Ease of use: The device is very easy to use. The instructions are relatively simple. If you are having trouble taking readings with your hands, wet your fingertips and this should provide a stronger signal from the electrodes. The same applies if you use the device on your chest. Wet the area where the electrodes touch. Value: The device delivers even more data than the Apple Watch at a fraction of the cost. The device can detect irregular heart rhythms, which you can export and share with your doctor. Some important facts to remember: 1.) The device can measure leads I, leads II and chest leads. Although the measurement takes at least 30 seconds, it can take up to 5 minutes. 2.) A smartphone is not required to use the device as the waveform can be read on the device's screen and can give you a notification of 'normal' or 'irregular heart rate'. 3.) Data sent to the ViHealth App can be exported as a PDF or CSV file. However, ECG data is not currently shared with the Apple Health app. 4.) Currently, the device does not share user data, so it can be difficult to track multiple people's EKG readings. However, this can be fixed by recording the time you read data for an individual and then comparing it to the time in the log when exporting the data to IOS/Android or PC. 5.) The device is charged via the supplied micro USB cable. It can be charged from any power supply or computer. Charging can be done within 2-3 hours.
