Tracking my electrocardiogram (ECG)

Frequently asked questions about electrocardiogram
(ECG)
How does ScanWatch provide an electrocardiogram?
ScanWatch includes three electrodes to ensure measurement accuracy. Two
electrodes are discreetly integrated inside the main body of the watch, and the
third electrode is in the stainless steel upper ring (the bezel) of the watch. Users
simply need to touch both sides of the bezel to start recording ECG anytime and
anywhere.
Is it a medically-approved measurement?
We led several clinical studies to compare ScanWatch measurements with the
gold standard and assess its medical accuracy. ScanWatch has received CE
medical certification in Europe and is expected to receive FDA approval in the
United States pending the results of these clinical studies.
What is the benefit of having an ECG on the wrist?
AFib is believed to be responsible for about 30% of strokes, and 90% of these
events could be avoided if AFib is detected at an early stage. AFib is often
underdiagnosed because explicit atrial fibrillation episodes don't necessarily
occur during doctor's visits. When a user feels symptoms such as palpitations,
he can place his hand on his watch, and in 30 seconds, ScanWatch will record an
electrocardiogram by detecting the electrical signals of the heart.
How can I see the results?
When users experience symptoms, or if they are alerted to an abnormal heart
rate, they can easily take an ECG, in just 30 seconds. During the measurement,
users can see the live electrocardiogram displayed on the watch screen or in
the accompanying Health Mate app. Once the reading is complete, the results
can be viewed both directly on the watch screen and in the app. A history of
all recordings, their associated classifications, and any noted comments or
symptoms are stored in the app. All data collected can easily be shared with a
doctor or healthcare professional.
How can I share my results or act on them?
Data collected by ScanWatch and visualized in Health Mate can easily be shared
with a doctor or healthcare professional, which can help assist with an early
diagnosis. Early diagnosis could help to prevent more serious complications.
