Withings Move ECG watch enables users to take an on-demand electrocardiogram right from their watch

An electrocardiogram (ECG) records your heart's electrical activity and can detect when your heartbeat is irregular. This type of irregularity is often be caused by atrial fibrillation or AFib, which is the most common heart rhythm disorder. Unfortunately, it can be challenging to diagnose because irregular heartbeat episodes don't always occur when you're at the doctor's office having a test.

The good news is that Withings Move ECG can help. This watch has three electrodes that can take an on-demand measurement for you. All you have to do is place your hand on the ring surrounding your watch for 20 seconds when you're experiencing shortness of breath or palpitations. You'll notice that your ECG signal will instantly appear in the Health Mate app on your smartphone. It will alert you to an irregularity and let you know if you need to consult a specialist. If necessary, the records can even be sent to your doctor.

The company's website states that the Move ECG is currently under review to be FDA/CE cleared.

Really good to see this functionality expanding to other brands.
