This is a long thread so I'm just going to ask and hope.

My mom is looking for a wearable watch/fitbit like device that does decent heart monitoring and will work with her Android phone. If it can't detect AFib it's useless.

Don't need location tracking or whatever. Just something that MIGHT see the AFib early and record it.

webcams for christ posted:

some Garmin watches have FDA-approved ECG. Here's the list.

ECG is also available on Apple Watch series 4 and later, which doesn't help for Android users.

Latest model Samsung Galaxy watch also has ECG

are you in the US? this feature isn't available in all countries since it is a Medical Device and needs fairly rigorous regulatory approval. unsurprisingly, the FDA seems to be the fastest health authority for approval

Yeah in the US. Thanks! This is good and useful
