@Afupro   I can explain why the age is 22 years and why it will never change.  The ECG is a medically regulated device that needed FDA approval for release in the US.  The FDA has age ranges for medical devices.  There are several age groups among the pediatric age range, but the whole pediatric age range is birth through age 21.  These ages are part of the US Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.  The ECG doesn't have any pediatric approval, because it wasn't tested on anyone under age 22.  Fitbit/Google would need to repeat the accuracy/validity study on younger people, then apply for FDA approval.  This takes time and money.  The ECG can only diagnose one abnormal rhythm, atrial fibrillation.  My internet search says that atrial fibrillation is very rare in children.  There is no reason to try and get approval for someone your age.
