ARTICLE SUMMARY:
Mobile cardiac monitoring is a relatively inefficient process—the data is analyzed and interpreted by an outside service provider, and patients sometimes wait for weeks to get a definitive diagnosis. Start-up Cardiac Insight is aiming to change that paradigm with a seven-day disposable, wearable ECG sensor system and software algorithm that enables physicians to analyze the data on their own computers and obtain a diagnosis within minutes at the point-of-care.
The mobile cardiac rhythm monitoring market is a billion-dollar-plus opportunity in the US alone, but even though significant technology advances have been achieved in this arena in recent years, the current monitoring paradigm remains fairly inefficient.
