App summary

The Abbott Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) is a slim profile device which continuously monitors your heart rhythm and automatically records events of interest as configured by your doctor. The myMerlin™ app securely and proactively transmits information per a schedule set by your doctor. The app’s intuitive user-friendly interface allows you to record symptomatic events, view past and upcoming transmissions and helps you stay connected with your doctor. This makes it easier for your healthcare provider to obtain information about your heart’s rhythm. Some ICM device models include the ability for the device monitoring settings to be updated remotely by a healthcare provider.

This app will only function once paired with an Abbott Insertable Cardiac Monitor, an implantable device available via prescription only.

THE APP DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY HEALTH SERVICES OR MEDICAL ADVICE. IF YOU SUSPECT YOU MAY HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION FROM LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICES OR YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER.

Old phone died & I had to buy a new phone. turns out, it's not supposed to be compatable with the app (it comes un-paired) but it is. This is the 3rd time. I called and they want to send me a new transmitter. I don't want to HAVE to tote around 2 different devices all the time (to report symptoms). tedious but I unload/then reload and it pairs just fine. The designers could figure out what is causing the problem. & It keeps saying it needs to run in background when it is. moto g stylus 5G - 2024

No settings function to know if it's working properly. I keep getting notifications that I need to do the same thing, X, and I don't know what X is much less make sure it's set up properly. I am an advanced Android user and this app should be easy peasy for me. Because it's not I am very concerned for those without as much Android app experience and knowledge as I have. Even the help on the support pages is not helpful. The website is even worse.

Easy to use. No major hiccups so far. My only problem with this app is the lack of options as it relates to reporting symptoms. Why have "other" as an option, but not give space to free text. It defeats the purpose if I then have to keep track of my symptoms in another application.
