Meet Florida’s New Athlete EKG Mandate — Anywhere in the State, in Minutes
Florida now requires an EKG for student-athletes. SmartHeart lets your practice screen them on-site and get board-certified cardiologist-read results in under 30 minutes — with a portable, hospital-grade 12-lead EKG you’ll use across every patient visit, for just $34 per read.
A Full Hospital-Grade EKG in the Palm of Your Hand
Weighing about one pound with no wires and no gel, SmartHeart® replaces bulky legacy machines with a wireless, adaptive device any staff member can operate — in any setting, in under 30 seconds.
Not Just Athletes — Every EKG Your Clinic Needs
From annual physicals to pre-op clearance, SmartHeart turns visits that used to mean a referral into same-visit cardiac screening — and a billable service (CPT 93000) that keeps revenue in your practice.

Occupational & Wellness
Scale pre-employment, DOT, and metabolic/GLP-1 baseline screening across single or multi-site programs — including on-site health fairs.
What Florida’s Second Chance Act Requires
The law mandates an electrocardiogram (EKG) screening for students entering high school athletics — helping detect the cardiac risks behind sudden cardiac arrest before an athlete takes the field.
Who needs screening
All incoming 9th graders before their first season, plus any 10th–12th grader who has never played an FHSAA-sanctioned sport.
2-year validity window
An EKG performed up to two years before the start of the 2026–2027 school year satisfies the requirement.
Documented on EL1
Completed screenings must be recorded on the standardized FHSAA EL1 ECG Screening form, alongside the EL2 physical.
Low-cost access
Schools must ensure access to affordable screenings — often in the $20–$50 range — making fast, scalable delivery essential.
