GPT-powered on-screen explanations. ECG+ explains what you’re seeing on screen in clear, simple language, helping you understand your Apple Watch ECGs, findings & trends. ECG+ helps you review your recorded ECGs on your Apple Watch, and monitor Heart rate variability (HRV). Integrated with Apple Health, ECG+ maximizes the potential of your Apple Watch ECG, by calculating PQRST to reveal your heartbeat signature, unique like fingerprint. ECG+ also tracks HRV changes, which is widely recognized as an objective measure of physical readiness. ================= Disclaimer: ECG+ is NOT a diagnostic tool, and it does NOT provide medical services or medical advice.

It’s nice to use but I wish it offered more in the free version. It’s a bummer that all these apps are trying to get so much money all the time just to have more information so they only give you a little bit. It’s better than nothing though and seems fairly comprehensive.I’ll keep using the free version until I find if there’s a better more useful free version of another app if not, I might have to pay for this one.

Seems expensive…

This software seems to be based entirely off of Apple Watch ECG feature of putting your finger on the crown for 30 seconds. During that time you have to be still, which means you can’t use it during heavy exercise. I was also under the impression Apple Watch couldn’t detect PVCs. So just how useful the ECG feature is on Apple Watch is still a mystery to me. I do own Apple Watch 9, and every usage of ECG says “this ecg doesn’t show any signs of…”.In contrast, hospital grade devices, like Holter, are worn over the heart for 48 hours as you live your life normally, exercise and all. The entire period of time is later analyzed.In terms of some metrics a consumer grade chest strap, like Polar H10, is considered superior to wrist worn devices, such as staying connected while moving around, providing continuous readings, etc. Why doesn’t ECG+ have an option of directly collecting chest strap readings for a variable duration, like hours, even while exercising? In my opinion, this ECG+ isn’t built on the strongest foundation and I can’t see how it’s worth $120.

Update: ECG+ now has GPT-5 integrated and becomes significantly more powerful, with your ECG recordings and changes over time, explained by GPT.Oct 5, 2024Thanks very much for your feedback. Although Apple Watch ECG doesn't detect PVCs by itself but the readings (lead I or II depending on which wrist you wear the watch) is sufficient for a sophisticated algorithm to match the premature contractions pattern and call them out. In terms of supporting other ECG devices, we do have the capacity to support more devices, especially those with long time recordings, where our algorithm can do a much better job in finding a lot more things of interests. However not everybody is willing to share their data with others, for different reasons but mostly protecting their own interests.ECG+ is built on a strong algorithm to parse and interpret ECG readings (1 lead or 12 leads, 30 seconds or hours), and given Apple Watch's ease of use, openness level and superior reading quality, it is, I am afraid, one of the strongest options.Thanks again.

BenMonk-
I purchased this for myself for $10 a month and wanted to add my father so we purchased a family plan at 50 something a month now I try to connect myself to my dad’s family plan and now the amount has creased by another $10 so I’d have to redo the whole thing for $65… I think this is unethical. I purchased the highest amount of a plan that was available for my father at this time. I’ve tried to reach out to the developer but there’s not a response for a month so I have spent20 for me. I purchased it yesterday for myself because I couldn’t use it on the family plan… That tells you how much I like it… However, there’s no way to rectify this so they’ve gotten over $100 from me in one month.

Update: ECG+ has been improved significantly with GPT integrated. Your ECG recordings are throughly explained in easy language now.Oct 5, 2024Thanks for your feedback BenMonk. I believe we have taken care of your case but if not (we receive requests to make purchase changes to support family sharing regularly), please shoot us another email from within the app settings. Normally purchase matters are handled by Apple, but for your case we do have a little space where we can manoeuvre to make the change for you. Thanks.

I am new to Apple Watch. Little did I know that the day after I got the watch and had put this app on it, I would be using it to check my heart. I had a slow heart rate with some premature ventricular contractions that did not perfuse and was short of breath and did not feel well. I know that you can’t use a strip like this to diagnose but I ended up going to the hospital and it let the doctor know more about what I was experiencing. I had printed copies of several of my episodes. The doctors and nurses were impressed that the ecg tracing was so good coming from a watch. Thank you!!
