## Description

Preventicus Heartbeats uses your smartphone camera to measure your heart rhythm in about one minute, delivering an ECG-like analysis that helps detect arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation and provides a detailed result with actionable recommendations. When results are abnormal, medical experts can review them within the app, and users gain access to personalized heart health guidance through the RhythmusLeben programme.

Note that the app is intended for travelers to the EU, United Kingdom, and Switzerland and currently works only there; it is not available or authorized for use in the United States. It is a clinically validated Class IIa medical device (TÜV NORD CERT) compliant with EU Regulation 2017/745 and ISO 13485:2021. All results are indicative, not diagnostic, and life-threatening situations require immediate medical care.

## Review summary

Users largely praise Preventicus Heartbeats for reassurance, quick readings, and easy sharing with doctors. However, multiple reviews highlight server connectivity issues, unreliable/or false AFib detections, signal quality problems, regional access restrictions, and limited customer support. These recurring problems undermine reliability and trust despite the app’s helpful monitoring features.

### Pros

- Provides peace of mind by monitoring heart rhythm and confirming often normal sinus rhythm.
- Allows saving, exporting (PDF) and sharing readings with doctors for easier discussion and review.
- Offers quick 1-minute or 5-minute readings and generally does not require extra hardware attachments.
- Can detect PVCs and other irregularities, giving users prompts to seek medical advice when needed.
- Useful as an on-the-go monitoring tool that users can rely on for quick checks and anxiety reduction.

### Cons

- Frequent server connectivity issues and errors (e.g., problems communicating with the server, missing session tokens) that disrupt readings.
- Inconsistent or false-positive AFib readings that alarm users even when not in AFib, increasing anxiety and confusion.
- Signal quality problems leading to unreliable readings or no readings at all, even with good internet connectivity.
- Regional availability restrictions or country-blocks that can cause loss of access to data and complicate refunds or continued use.
- Poor in-app customer support/contact options and account problems (difficulty logging in, finding help contact) that leave users frustrated.
