Medical smartphone accessory company AliveCor today announced that it will bring “the first medical-grade EKG band” to the Apple Watch with the “Kardia Band,” in addition to a new smartphone app for users of its heart-rate reading devices. The company already sells a few “mobile EKG” products in its online store, including cases for the iPhone 6/6s and iPhone 5/5s that have users place their fingers on metallic plates to get sufficient heart-rate readings.

The Kardia Band for Apple Watch will function in a similar way, with a small, integrated metal sensor in the band communicating with the company’s new app to take wrist-worn EKG readings. All users will have to do is navigate to the Apple Watch-compatible Kardia app, start a reading, place their thumb on the sensor, and wait for the 30-second analysis to complete. During this time, users can also speak into the Apple Watch’s microphone to detail any palpitations, shortness of breath, or dietary habits that could be linked to heart-rate fluctuations.
