Introduction
The AliveCor mobile ECG is a portable heart rate and rhythm monitor that is simply held in the
patient's hand to obtain an ECG report. The device is easy to use for any healthcare professional and
stores the recorded ECGs for future review by a health professional.
The benefits of the AliveCor device are that:
The device uses a single channel ECG monitor with automatic ECG evaluation to detect possible AF.
An accompanying phone/tablet app allows real time visualisation of the ECG recording as well as storage
of previous recordings for later review.
The recorder is held in the hand without the need to expose the patient and takes a single lead ECG
recording in 30 seconds.
The device is not linked to a designated single phone/tablet and may be transferred between practice
staff when needed.
The device may be lent to patients for home use or monitoring.
The user replaceable battery in the device should give normal device usage of around 12 months before
needing to be replaced.
High sensitivity and specificity: shown by a Cleveland Clinic study as a viable post-ablation monitoring
alternative to a trans telephonic monitor (TTM), with 100% sensitivity, 97% specificity for detection of
atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter combined, and 92% patient preference for AliveCor vs traditional TTM.
The device may be lent to patients for home use or monitoring
In the event of this being covered by the Innovation Tariff (in future), devices can be issued to patients
without the need to recycle, clean, change battery etc.
Information governance
The AliveCor mobile ECG stores the patient's ECG trace and voice recording during the trace, both
locally on the device used to take the recording and in the 'cloud' on AliveCor servers, which are
uploaded to your personal AliveCor account once you have registered as a user.
The ECG trace and data collected at the time of the trace being taken are stored in AliveCor servers
in the EU using industry standard encryption. This meets all EU data privacy rules. This allows you to
change devices easily and retrieve your patients' recordings should anything happen to the
phone/tablet used to take the original recording. In addition, you may log into your account from
another device to review patients' results.
When using the AliveCor device in practice, do be aware of data protection and information
governance rules regarding inclusion of patient identifiable information on the trace. For this reason,
we recommend you only store a unique non-identifiable reference number to the trace or ensure
that you delete the trace after use.
Please remember to password protect the device you use to take the ECG reading.
