AliveCor, maker of an FDA-cleared, smartphone-based electrocardiogram device, is making the jump into remote patient monitoring. San Francisco-based AliveCor is partnering with Swiss company LifeWatch to include its mobile ECG in cardiac monitoring outside traditional care settings.
LifeWatch, of Zug, Switzerland, will offer the AliveCor Mobile ECG device and companion mobile app as part of its 30-day home diagnostic testing services in the U.S., according to AliveCor Chief Commerical Officer Doug Biehn. “It’s a much more convenient way to monitor a patient’s health,” Biehn said.
Physicians will have to prescribe the 30-day test, which LifeWatch then will administer. LifeWatch will provide each patient with a personalized care plan, which includes taking ECG readings twice a day; each reading takes just 30 seconds.
“That data will be ported into LifeWatch’s system,” Biehn said. The same information also will be available through the AliveCor app.
