With the QALY App, you can get your Kardia, Apple Watch, Fitbit, and Samsung ECGs reviewed by cardiographic technicians.
The QALY app was developed by a team from Stanford and Berkeley led by cardiac electrophysiologist, Dr. Marco Perez. Many of you may remember him from the 2019 patient conference where he spoke on Digital Health and on stroke prevention medications at our 2022 patient conference. In addition, Dr. Perez was a co-principal investigator on the Apple Heart Study, so he knows digital tools and ECGs.
This fascinating app gives you 24/7 access to a human expert’s second opinion about your ECGs. I’ve been surprised by all the extra information I’ve received on my ECG readings as part of my second opinion.
Just upload an ECG taken by a Kardia, Apple Watch, Fitbit, or any other ECG device to get your second opinion. Then, within about 30 minutes (at least that is what it took for me), you’ll receive a second opinion on your ECG from a cardiographic technician.
StopAfib.org and QALY are collaborating to provide you with a special one-month-free offer (after the free month, the price will be $30/month or $180/year). This offer is available exclusively to those who follow us at StopAfib.org!

I have elevated liver levels, a TAVR 4/1/21, two stents the first October 1997 2nd May 2015. I just turned 93. What are my longer term expectations now with Afib?

I have battled AFib since 1982, now I take eliquis twice a day and metoprolol 100 mg once a day. Nothing I’ve tried over the yrs prevents AFib, I hate taking meds. Am I stuck with this forever?
