How it works

From Apple Watch ECG to a clearer view

ECG Tracker+ works with recordings already saved in Apple Health. You choose what to share, then review the waveform and informational measurements on your iPhone.

Import from Apple Health

  1. Record an ECG with the ECG app on your Apple Watch.
  2. Choose whether to share ECG recordings from Apple Health.
  3. Open ECG Tracker+ to find the recordings in a separate, searchable library.
  4. Select a recording to review its waveform and available app-⁠generated estimates.

ECG Tracker+ does not change the original waveform or Apple classification. Core ECG processing happens on your iPhone, and no account is required to import or analyze a recording.

Explore the full recording

Review the complete 30-⁠second waveform, add notes and tags, compare recordings over time, and create a PDF when you want to share a clear copy.

Available details can include heart rate, interval estimates, QTc, ultra-⁠short HRV, signal quality, beat shape, and possible premature-⁠beat patterns.

Understand the estimates

Signal quality

The signal-⁠quality score describes how usable the recording appears for the app’s calculations. It does not confirm that a measurement is clinically correct.

Intervals and QTc

PR, QRS, QT, and QTc are app-⁠generated estimates. QTc depends on the QT and R-⁠R estimates plus the selected correction formula. Results from a single-⁠lead watch recording can differ from measurements reviewed on a clinical 12-⁠lead ECG.

HRV

rMSSD and SDNN use beat intervals from the 30-⁠second recording. These ultra-⁠short estimates are not interchangeable with standardized five-⁠minute or 24-⁠hour HRV measurements.

Possible premature-⁠beat patterns

Possible PAC and PVC pattern flags are review cues. Noise and other rhythms can resemble these patterns. A flag does not confirm an event, and no flag does not rule one out.

Keep the limits in view

ECG Tracker+ is an informational tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose heart conditions, confirm that a recording is normal, or replace a clinical ECG or professional evaluation.

Use trends to compare app-⁠generated values, not to judge changes in health or risk. If a recording or symptom concerns you, discuss it with a qualified healthcare professional.

How the educational pages are prepared

ECG Tracker+ publishes its guides to explain app workflows, informational estimates, and important limits in plain language. Guides cite the Apple documentation, professional cardiology organizations, and peer-⁠reviewed research they rely on.

Every guide shows its latest review date. Questions about a source or a correction can be sent to contact@ecgtrackerplus.com.

Example recordings

The waveform examples in the guides are drawn with the app’s own waveform view from these open research datasets:

  • St Petersburg INCART 12-⁠lead Arrhythmia Database and Lobachevsky University Database (LUDB), distributed by PhysioNet (Goldberger AL et al., Circulation 2000) under the Open Data Commons Attribution License v1.0.
  • PTB-⁠XL (Wagner P et al., Scientific Data 2020), distributed by PhysioNet under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
  • SJLIFE paired clinical and Apple Watch ECG repository (Karabayir I, Akbilgic O), Zenodo, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.

Signals were band-⁠pass filtered and resampled to 512 Hz before analysis.
