The study is being conducted at two leading hospitals in Belgrade, Serbia. The initiation of the pilot study represents a significant step in the development of the HeartBeam patch which has the potential to disrupt the long-term continuous monitor and mobile cardiac telemetry (MCT) markets.
Patch-based ambulatory cardiac monitoring represents an approximately $2 billion market with established reimbursement pathways. Today's ambulatory patch ECG monitors are limited to one to three leads and are primarily designed to assess heart rhythms, not ischemia. As a result, patients experiencing intermittent chest pain or cardiac symptoms outside the clinic often cannot obtain a clinical-grade ECG at the moment symptoms occur.
The HeartBeam on-demand patch, which is currently investigational and not yet FDA cleared, is designed to extend this capability beyond medical facilities. The patch device follows HeartBeam's credit card-sized device as the second form factor and leverages the same patented 3D ECG technology that captures the heart's electrical signals from 3 non-coplanar dimensions. The HeartBeam patch continuously records a single-lead ECG and enables patients to initiate a full synthesized 12-lead ECG recording on demand by placing two fingers on the device. This approach is intended to provide clinicians with high-quality cardiac insights when symptoms occur outside of traditional care settings.
