A 12-lead ECG that fits in your pocket.

Medical Device & Emerging Tech

Kardia 12L is AliveCor's handheld, AI-powered 12-lead resting ECG system. One cable and five electrodes replace the cart, the ten-plus wires and the full disrobing of a conventional 12-lead, so a nurse, MOA or physician can capture a diagnostic-quality tracing in minutes, in any exam room. The KardiaStation app guides placement and recording, and KAI 12L, AliveCor's FDA-cleared interpretation AI, returns determinations for clinician review in seconds, with every ECG stored in KardiaPro for review, sharing and patient management.

AliveCor has recorded more than 350 million ECGs and already offers Health Canada-licensed Kardia personal ECG devices to Canadians. Kardia 12L is its first clinic-grade system, built for primary care, urgent care, walk-in, community and home-based settings.

12-lead ECG, without the cart.

12-lead ECG, without the cart.

Kardia 12L records eight diagnostic-bandwidth leads from five electrodes on a single cable and synthesizes the remaining four, so the whole system fits in a lab-coat pocket.

  • Single cable, five electrodes. Two placement options depending on symptoms. No ten-wire untangling, no full disrobing.
  • Recordings in minutes. Guided by the KardiaStation app and validated with staff who had infrequent ECG experience.
  • Reads in seconds. KAI 12L returns determinations for clinician review as soon as the tracing lands.
  • Nothing left on paper. Unlimited ECG storage, review and patient management in KardiaPro.

35 cardiac determinations

35 cardiac determinations, from AFib to acute MI.

KAI 12L was trained and validated on more than 1.75 million ECGs and is approved for 35 determinations in Canada across rhythm and morphology. It detects acute MI and common ischemias, not just arrhythmias.

  • Atrial fibrillation & flutter
  • Acute & previous myocardial infarction
  • Ischemia (anterior, inferior, lateral)
  • AV blocks & bundle branch blocks
  • Ventricular hypertrophy
  • Atrial enlargement
  • Prolonged QT
  • Bradycardia & tachycardia
  • Paced rhythms & WPW
  • Sinus arrhythmia & junctional rhythm

What people are saying

Placing two precordial leads instead of six ensures accuracy, and the ease of use is beyond any other machine.

U.S. adoption figures reported by AliveCor, 2026. In a Computing in Cardiology study, the reduced-lead Kardia 12L AI matched a standard 12-lead system on AUC for right and left bundle branch block, old and acute MI, paced rhythm and normal ECGs (AUC 0.96 to 1.0).
