Yes, to my knowledge, determining "afib" is "not afib" is the only validated use of watch-based ekgs.

Ekgs are incredibly complex. I've been interpreting them for 10 years and am still far from an expert. Hospital based computers make lots of errors interpreting them. Just figuring out "is this a heart attack? " is tricky in many cases.
I wonder how many panicked people will go to the ER needlessly compared to how many have real concerning findings.

EKG and ecg are synonymous. One is electrocardiogram, one is electrokardiogram. Depends on how Germanic you're feeling.
