The Move ECG comes with a medical grade heart monitoring technology that can potentially take an electrocardiogram on-demand that can help in detecting AFib that is known to be a common heart arrhythmia. The watch has the ability to monitor heart health levels via simple and discreet gestures that include three electrodes that guarantee measurement accuracy.

With less than 30 seconds of measurement, the Move ECG vibrates and notifies the user that the reading is complete, which then syncs automatically with the Health Mate app and shows if the heart is beating normally or there is a sign of AFib.

The Move ECG has a dedicated Health Mate app that comes on Android and iOS to provide insights, data activity reminder, set goals and manages successes. The watch can also connect to other third-party apps like Google Fit, Apple Health as well as MyFitnessPal.
