Do I need a subscription to share my ECG results with my doctor or can I just send him a pdf?

With my new Apple watch series 8, do I need a subscription to share my ECG results with my doctor or can I just send him a pdf?

Hey Kenny7147,


lobsterghost1 is 100% correct with the instructions he sent.


That being said there are some options if your healthcare provider is not listed in the sharing section(all 100% free).


First, try lobsterghost1 suggestion as previously indicated.


Second, you can use the sharing option to share an ECG result. To do this, open the Health App. Select Browse. Select Heart. Scroll to the ECG section. Select an ECG. You can then use the share function at the top of the screen (box with an up arrow) send, print, etc. the ECG.


Finally, if you are tracking a lot of health information and you want more of a health report I would check out the Withings Health Mate application (you can download it from the App Store). This application is outside of the Apple ecosystem (not made by Apple), but is free to use (with or without Withings equipment). You can sync all of your Apple Health information (as well as others) and it provides a simpler interface as well as produces a nice health report to share with a medical professional. I use this all the time.


*I am not associated with Apple or Withings. Simply a happy Apple user trying to pay it forward for all the support I have received from this forum in the past.


Hope this helps. All the best.
