The EliteHRV app folks have a list of preferred HR sensors, and they don't mention the Kardia or any of the other devices that do an at-home EKG and can label other irregularities. It looks like either the Polar H10 or H7 - which I think is just an older model.
To be clear it's not a full EKG, it's only a lead II rhythm strip, and both Kardia and it's app, and the Apple Watch 4 app are cleared by the FDA only for determining the presence or absence of atrial fibrillation. I would bet that beat-to-beat variability for those two devices is being worked on and will show up in some future version of the Kardia and/or Apple Watch software, however.
