Thanks so much! Medicine is often a mix of extremely high tech and very low tech, so we're in a great position to fix the latter :) We can actually pair with multiple different types of hardware (our software is hardware-agnostic) but we have a couple preferred hardware devices. One of which is https://www.kardia.com/kardiamobile6l/

So you recommend their hardware, and compete with them on software? (Assuming I understood that correctly -) what stops them catching up/replicating your (presumably) better software?

Or perhaps more to the point - the problem you mention in OP seems, as described, like it's already solved by Kardia, what was missing that you had to build?

Great point, indeed the problem of automated ECG analysis has been around for the last several decades and there's still no automated solution accurate for AFib patients (one of the the hardest categories for making ECG measurements). Our software is specifically trained on AFib ECGs and our specific focus of this market and guiding drug dosing, as well as our clinical expertise in the field gives us our edge. It's a similar reason why startups can do things that Google and Amazon can't :)

Sold!

Now, how do I also get your software that will work with this hardware?

Software still needs to pass its FDA clearance, but great to hear your interest!
