While many people have come to know EKG technology thanks to Apple incorporating it into their watch, AliveCor has been doing it for much longer.  Plus, there’s a big difference between a single lead EKG and a 6 lead EKG.  Not to mention, AliveCor offers a direct to consumer KardiaCare product that allows a patient to access a board-certified cardiologist to review a patient’s EKG readings.  Plus, AliveCor recently announced a suite of AI solutions for personal ECG that will be available in 2021.  

To learn more about what AliveCor is doing to bring EKGs to patients, we sat down with Dr. David Albert, Founder and Chief Medical Officer, AliveCor.  We discuss the full suite of AliveCor products and the differences between the single lead EKG vs the 6 lead EKG.  

Dr. Albert also shares whether all patients should be regularly doing an EKG or not.  Plus, he highlights when having a regular EKG is extremely valuable to a patient.  We also talk about how a doctor would use the AliveCor product.  Should every doctor have one in the office?  Should doctors be prescribing an at home EKG product like AliveCor to their patients?
