Here is the new Kardia 6 lead sample I took today, had it for few weeks and they sent me a free case since I ordered it awhile ago. It is been much more accurate and stable in terms of readings.Better built for sure and I would definitely would spend the extra $50 and get this model over the original Kardia model, which is $99. See screenshots of the readings below.

Actually I don't have an early adopter plan but I do get to keep all of the recordings on my phone. If you opt for the $10 paid plan then you get the cloud storage as opposed to storing them on your phone and. Other than that no real advantages over the free option so not worth it in my opinion.

Looks interesting, but I wonder if a "6-lead" tracing one gets this way is much more informative than a single lead one. For arrhythmias, a good 1-lead recording is maybe enough...
But if the device can be used like the old model, with only 2 sensors (sometimes, in a hurry, it's the easiest way to take an ECG), there's no problem.

There was a review of the Sonohealth ECG product on Travis' site I linked here; <[www.afibbers.org]
I haven't used it, but it looks interesting: <[sonohealth.org]

A single lead often is sufficient, but it's a blunt instrument and only tells you there's some sort of arrhythmia. The additional leads should allow other arrhythmias to be identified. For example, flutter can't be distinguished from other SVTs with only lead I, but it should be identifiable with leads II, III and aVF. Ditto with multifocal atrial tachycardia. I think it'll be useful to some people but I doubt most need it.

I don't know how useful the 6L will be in real life. My suspicion is it's mainly a cool gadget and won't add much diagnostic value for most people, but I can definitely see it answering the question of whether it's afib or flutter, which is a question that gets asked a lot.
And I might buy it myself just to have a cool gadget. :-)
