The Coala Heart Monitor is an ECG device for home use that can indicate a possible irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia), such as atrial fibrillation.
The system consists of:
- The Coala device: a wireless monitor that records your ECG.
- The app: for your smartphone, where you view and save your results.
- The charging station: keeps your Coala charged and ready to use.
How to take a recording
A recording takes about one minute, and the app guides you through each step:
1. Hold the Coala against your chest for 30 seconds.
2. Hold the Coala with both thumbs for 30 seconds.
A few seconds later, the result is shown in the app.
How does the analysis work?
The Coala analyzes two things in your ECG: how regularly your heart beats (R-R variability) and the heart’s electrical signal before each beat (the P wave). Together, they give a more reliable picture of your heart rhythm.
Please note: The Coala does not make a diagnosis. It gives an indication of a possible irregular heart rhythm. If you get an abnormal result or feel worried, contact your healthcare provider.
