Introducing Withings ECG App on ScanWatch 2!

We're thrilled to share a significant enhancement to the ECG Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) detection feature on your ScanWatch 2 with the arrival of the 2871 Firmware. 

• Withings ECG App is now available without requiring any review of the first ECG by a cardiologist prior to use the feature.
• The improvements feature a brand new algorithm for atrial fibrillation detection capable of classifying your recording with more details.

You will be able to see 8 different classifications compared to 4 previously:

• Low Heart Rate
  A Low Heart Rate result means your heart is beating less than 50 beats per minute (bpm). This recording cannot be classified by Withings ECG App.

  A low heart rate can happen if electrical signals are not properly conducted through the heart. Some medicines can also cause a low heart rate. Some elite athletes may also have a low heart rate.

• High Heart Rate
  A High Heart Rate result means your heart is beating above 150 beats per minute (bpm). This recording cannot be classified by Withings ECG App.

  Many different things can cause a high heart rate. A heart rate may be high because of exercise, stress, dehydration, infection, AFib, another arrhythmia or another cause. 

• Sinus Rhythm
  A Sinus Rhythm result means your heart rate is between 50 and 99 beats per minute (bpm) and is beating regularly.

• High Heart Rate (No signs of AFib)
  A High Heart Rate (No signs of AFib) result means the heart rate is beating between 100 and 150 beats per minute (bpm) and does not show any signs of Atrial Fibrillation.

  Many different things can cause a high heart rate. A heart rate may be high because of exercise, stress, dehydration, infection, an arrhythmia, or another cause. 

• Atrial Fibrillation 
  An Atrial Fibrillation result means the heart rate is between 50 and 99 beats per minute (bpm) and is beating in an irregular pattern..
• Atrial Fibrillation - High Heart Rate
  An Atrial Fibrillation - High HR result means your heart rate is beating between 100 and 150 beats per minute and is beating in an irregular pattern.
• Inconclusive
  This ECG is inconclusive. If you repeatedly get this result or you are not feeling well, you should talk to your doctor.
• Poor Recording
  A Poor Recording result means the recording quality is low and the ECG cannot be classified. This may be caused by errors during the measurement. Some things that can cause this type of result are: excessive movement that causes a signal of poor quality; OR proximity to an electrical device that generates strong electromagnetic fields; OR not covering the electrodes correctly.
  A small percentage of people may have certain physiological conditions that prevent them  from creating enough signal to produce a quality recording.
  
  You may try to re-record your ECG. You can review how to take an ECG during setup or by tapping Take a Recording in the ECG section of the Withings app on your smartphone. 

Important: 

• Withings ECG App never checks for heart attacks.
• Talk to your doctor if you have questions about your ECG recording.
