There are products like AliveCor's Kardia on the market. The issue is that it's difficult even for a physician to interpret EKGs, and automated interpretation has proven quite challenging. There's been a lot of progress in detecting certain rhythms like atrial fibrillation (which is what AliveCor's product is able to auto-detect), but other rhythm detection remains difficult.
