I’m not terribly worried about false positives with a device like this, unless it happens repeatedly to the same person — there are a whole lot of undiagnosed, asymptomatic heart conditions out there, so even if it gets them to the cardiologist on a “false alarm”, I would imagine that some nontrivial percent of those people could find something that they didn’t know to look for by getting their heart checked out.

This is what made my team and I take it seriously. I was also able to export the date to my GP easily. I was in the cardiologist's office the next day.

Of course I was allergic to the Zio lol. Next step is implanting a monitoring device. Really interesting and fascinating.
