Toilet-seat EKG aims to flag AFib in 30 seconds

German company Hamberger Medical’s HARO EKG-seat records a six‑lead ECG while you sit and routes the reading to a companion app to screen for atrial fibrillation in about 30 seconds. Early usability results suggest good agreement with standard ECGs, but complete, peer‑reviewed data is not yet published and the device should complement, not replace, clinical diagnosis. The system emphasizes local data processing with configurable backups, highlighting ongoing privacy considerations. Availability and pricing remain unclear.
