HeartBeam's Breakthrough Technology to Bring Mobile Cardiovascular Diagnostic Services to Patients
Investment Platform RedCrow hosts online campaign designed to accelerate market introduction of HeartBeam's mobile heart attack detection solution

MILL VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Every year, nearly 800,000 Americans have a heart attack. Heart disease now accounts for one in four deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. When patients have heart attack symptoms, the most important factor in a successful outcome is how quickly they receive treatment. Yet most patients wait well over two hours before seeking medical attention. Each 30-minute delay results in a mortality increase of 7.5%.
To improve outcomes, HeartBeam developed the iCardiologist™ mHealth technology which consists of a personal, credit-card-sized, 12-lead ECG capable device coupled with a cloud-based, expert, diagnostic system. The iCardiologist features personalized cardiac markers to identify the need for medical intervention. While many people don't realize they are having a heart attack until several hours after the onset of symptoms, the iCardiologist solution delivers instant information and updates to patients, allowing them to make immediate and informed decisions. To learn more, please visit HeartBeam's campaign on RedCrow.
With significant improvements to timely diagnosis, iCardiologist has shown, in the studies conducted so far, to be as accurate as the best cardiologists. It benefits everyone, including patients, providers, and insurers, reducing time to intervention and saving healthcare dollars. Most importantly, it gives patients the peace of mind that they will react appropriately to the cardiac symptoms, allowing them to stay active and enjoy their current lifestyle.
We believe that our iCardiologist technology can significantly reduce unnecessary ER visits for chest pain, currently estimated to cost over $10 billion per year. - Branislav Vajdic, Ph.D., HeartBeam CEO.
