What is Cardiogram
Cardiogram turns your wearable device into a personal heart health assistant. Whether you’re using an Apple Watch, a Garmin, or a Wear OS device, the app pulls in your heart rate data and goes deeper — offering visual trends (resting, active, peak periods), AI-powered risk predictions (like AFib, hypertension, diabetes, or sleep apnea), and the ability to log symptoms like fatigue or dizziness to see how they align with your body’s signals. You get weekly summaries, migraine and sleep tracking, and even the ability to export reports to share with a doctor. It’s not just a tracker — it’s heart wellness without the guesswork.
Is Cardiogram worth registering and paying for
If you’re already wearing a smartwatch daily, Cardiogram takes the raw heart rate data and makes it meaningful. The free version gives you helpful basics like daily tracking, trends, and symptom logging. But the paid version unlocks more advanced insights, AI-driven risk assessments for conditions like AFib or sleep apnea, and detailed reports you can share with your doctor.
It’s especially valuable if you’ve had heart concerns in the past, want peace of mind, or just like seeing a clearer picture of how stress, sleep, and activity affect your heart. That said, if you only want simple heart rate charts, your smartwatch’s native health app might be enough.
For people who want deeper analysis, early warnings, and a more proactive approach to heart health, Cardiogram’s subscription can feel well worth it.
Our experience
Using Cardiogram with our wearable devices has been a game-changer for monitoring heart health. The app seamlessly integrates with our Apple Watch and Garmin, pulling heart rate data in real-time and presenting it in clear, visual trends. We love how it breaks down resting, active, and peak heart rate periods, making it easy to understand our body’s patterns throughout the day.
The AI-powered risk predictions are a standout feature. It’s reassuring to have insights into potential risks like atrial fibrillation, hypertension, or sleep apnea, based on data we’re already collecting. Logging symptoms like fatigue or dizziness feels intuitive, and seeing how they correlate with our heart rate data adds context that we can actually act on. For instance, noticing a spike in heart rate alongside a logged migraine helped us identify triggers we hadn’t considered before.
The weekly summaries are concise yet packed with useful information, giving us a snapshot of our heart health trends without overwhelming us with numbers. The sleep and migraine tracking features have been particularly helpful for spotting patterns that we’ve shared with our doctor, and exporting reports is a breeze — it makes those appointments feel more productive.
Overall, Cardiogram feels like having a heart health coach in our pocket. It’s not just about tracking data; it’s about turning that data into meaningful insights that empower us to take control of our wellness.
