Problem
Traditional methods of capturing multi-channel electrocardiograms (ECGs) often require specialized equipment and trained personnel, limiting accessibility and convenience for frequent monitoring. This can lead to delays in diagnosis and management of cardiovascular conditions, particularly for individuals in remote areas or those needing continuous heart monitoring.
Solution
Guardio offers a smartphone-based application that enables users to capture multi-channel ECGs by simply placing their phone on their chest. Utilizing the phone's built-in sensors and a proprietary AI-powered engine, the app transforms heart movements into a diagnostic-quality ECG without requiring any external hardware or electrodes. The app provides a 6-lead ECG, offering a higher diagnostic value compared to single-lead ECGs. This allows for convenient, on-demand heart monitoring, facilitating early detection of rhythm disorders and reducing the time to diagnosis. The captured ECG data can then be shared with healthcare professionals for further evaluation and treatment.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individual patients seeking convenient heart monitoring, physicians looking to enhance their diagnostic capabilities, and health insurance providers aiming to improve patient care and reduce costs associated with delayed diagnoses.
