Garmin expands ECG app to more smartwatches

This FDA- cleared app allows users to record their heart rate and check for signs of irregular heartbeat (AFib) directly from their wrist. Users can use the app to record an electrocardiogram (ECG) for 30 seconds and view the heart rate results directly on the watch or with the option to view them later in the Garmin Connect app on their smartphone.

"We are excited to bring the ECG app to more customers, including users of our flagship smartwatches like the epix Pro and fēnix 7 Pro series. Garmin is proud to offer premium health features across all of our smartwatches. Through this groundbreaking tool, our customers can conveniently record an ECG whenever they want, proactively monitoring their health at any time," said Dan Bartel, Vice President of Global Consumer at Garmin.

When users take an ECG, the ECG app uses the built-in sensors on their compatible smartwatch to record the electrical signals that represent the heartbeat. The app then analyzes that recording to detect signs of an irregular heartbeat. Additionally, they can sync the results to Garmin Connect, where they can view a history of results and create reports that can be shared with healthcare providers.

The ECG app is currently available on the epix Pro series, fēnix 7 Pro series, Venu 3 series, quatix 7 series smartwatches for customers in Vietnam, requiring the latest version of the Garmin Connect smartphone app and smartwatch software before use.
