Bringing a paradigm shift to heart health
Cardiac diseases and related premature deaths are the top burden in health care globally – 49 million people suffer from heart diseases in Europe alone. CardioSignal, a smartphone app approved as a medical device, helps detect atrial fibrillation, making monitoring heart health more accessible to people.
CardioSignal is a brand and a product by Precordior, a Finnish health technology company.The solution measures micro-motions of the chest using the accelerometer and gyroscope which can already be found from most smartphones. The non-invasive, cloud-based automated analysis of motion data provides a new way for general practitioners (GPs) to accurately assess heart-atrial fibrillation (AFib). The company aims to expand the capabilities to other heart diseases in the future.
What makes our position unique is our capability to harness the everyday device, smartphone, to detect severe heart diseases accurately.
Juuso Blomster Cardiologist & CEO of CardioSignal.
