warning

To record and process it, it is essential to have Bluetooth turned on and at the same time have an active internet connection, whether via mobile data or Wi-Fi.

When to measure ECG

• You can take measurements at any time - both during health issues and without them as part of cardiovascular disease prevention.
• We recommend taking measurements at least 3 times a week.
• Each measurement should last at least 3 hours.
• The total length of your weekly measurements should exceed 7 hours.
• Always measure during the time of difficulties.
• At least once a week we recommend taking a measurement during sleep (all night).

danger

The maximum duration of a single ECG recording is 24 hours.

• To prevent skin irritation, the skin needs to rest.
• The recording is evaluated after the recording ends, so processing a longer recording may take several minutes.

danger

If you feel unwell in any respect, consider consulting a doctor immediately regardless of the Kardi Ai measurement result. The result of the ECG recorded from the chest strap cannot under any circumstances be used to detect myocardial infarction or generally a worsening of the blood supply to the heart. A negative finding says nothing about the reason for any possible chest pain.
