TeleConnect gives you the chance to speak with a cardiologist via phone or video. You can set up a TeleConnect consultation quickly—some cardiologists may even be available the same day. There are two ways to book a TeleConnect consultation in your Kardia app:
Select “Speak to a Cardiologist” after you take an EKG
OR
OR
Go to the Care tab and select “TeleConnect” at the top of your screen.
You’ll be automatically assigned a cardiologist when you book your TeleConnect consultation. All of the cardiologists are board-certified, which means they’re up to date on the latest advancements in cardiology and deliver the highest-quality care to each patient.
Get another set of eyes on your heart data, ask questions about medical conditions, or discuss healthy lifestyle changes. It's your time to get an expert’s insight.
You’re guaranteed to speak with a TeleConnect cardiologist within 24 hours—that’s 26x faster than the US average wait time for a cardiologist appointment.*
Following your TeleConnect consultation, you’ll receive an after-visit summary report detailing the conversation with the cardiologist and noting their recommended next steps. View the report directly in the Kardia app or download as a PDF.
