Amazing Heart Machines: Oura and Kardia
Added 2024-04-28 12:47:19 +0000 UTCJust a couple of the gadgets that I am using - not an endorsement or a review. Enjoy!

I recently purchased one of the Kardia 6L to monitor some irregular heart stuff, too. Mine was a one-shot VFib that the doctors weren't too excited about, but being a gadget freak, I decided it was an excuse to monitor stuff. Rather impressive signal processing in this unit as well. The 6L does a three-wire measurement to perform a 6 lead EKG and it shows remarkable similarity to that obtained by a 'REAL' multi-K$ machine.

2024-04-28 21:12:06 +0000 UTCI'd love to see my glucose levels; not diabetic, but want to control my sugar swings. Does your CGM use an implanted or inserted electrode, or can it do it with just skin contact?
