Collaboration Brings Advanced ECG Monitoring to Sony's Wearable Health Solution
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 11, 2024) - CardioComm Solutions, (TSXV: EKG) a global leader in medical electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring technology and a pioneer in Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) solutions, is pleased to confirm a technology partnership with Sony to integrate CardioComm's ECG technology into the Sony mSafety platform. The addition of CardioComm's technologies will enhance Sony's wearable health solution, delivering a seamless ECG monitoring experience to users without the need for a smartphone.
In collaboration with the mSaftey team, CardioComm made modifications to their GEMS™ Mobile ECG Smartphone app and embedded it into Sony's mSafety watch. This integration eliminates the need for a smartphone by allowing users to connect CardioComm's HeartCheck™ CardiBeat ECG monitor via Bluetooth to the mSaftey watch and record a 30-second ECG. Users can view their ECG in real-time directly on the mSafety watch, and the data can be securely and rapidly shared with the user's physician or other healthcare professional through CardioComm's SMART Monitoring ECG service for further analysis.
Key Benefits of the Integration:
Early Detection of Heart Anomalies: Empowering users to identify arrhythmias and other heart irregularities, enabling timely medical intervention and potentially preventing more severe conditions.
Post-Hospital Discharge ECG Monitoring: Supporting patients with ongoing cardiac monitoring after hospital stays, aiding in recovery and preventing complications.
Long-term Monitoring of Arrythmias: Empowering users to monitor their heart health after diagnosis providing rapid detection of changes and the piece of mind that comes with monitoring available at any time while at home, while exercising, or while travelling.
Pharmacy-Based ECG Screening: Enables convenient and efficient ECG screenings to assess risks like prolonged QT/c intervals, offering rapid diagnostics in local pharmacies.
Pharmaceutical Clinical Trials: Delivers accurate ECG monitoring for drug safety evaluations during clinical research trials.
Completion of this project with Sony's mSafety platform marks a significant milestone for CardioComm. It provides both consumers and healthcare professionals with a powerful, transformative tool to improve heart health management and outcomes and underscores CardioComm's commitment to advancing remote patient monitoring health technologies and its mission to enhance the lives of patients through innovative solutions.
Future Enhancements and Expansion of Health Solutions
CardioComm Solutions is committed to further expand bio signal collection through Sony's mSafety platform by integrating additional connected digital health monitoring devices, similar to the Body-by-GEMS and C2M2 initiatives. These future developments will create new opportunities for remote patient monitoring, making the mSafety platform even more valuable for users seeking reliable, near-real-time health tracking. For healthcare providers, these enhancements will support the delivery of remote personalized care, assist with differential diagnoses, and facilitate treatment and follow-up monitoring, especially in regions with limited access to medical services.
