Cardiovascular disease patients need short- & long-term cardiac monitoring, in the ICU and beyond. At present, no solution exists to monitor cardiac output directly, accuralty, safely & continuously. The market is asking for a practical, affordable and non-invasive solution. Pulsify medical’s mission is to address this significant unmet market need.
Pulsify Medical is a spin-off from both imec as well as the Catholic University Leuven (Medical Imaging Center). Both partners contribute critical, state-of-the-art technology and research support.
The combined technologies of imec and KU Leuven enable a breakthrough in non-invasive, continuous cardiac monitoring. The current solutions in the market are often invasive, using a type of catheter to enter the patient’s body. This is only an option in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), but not elsewhere. The other alternative is to use the classical ultrasound probe. This is a handheld device, that can only be used for a very short period of time. These cannot monitor the cardiac performance on an ongoing basis.
Pulsify’s patch enables monitoring of the cardiac performance continuously, a comforting thought for both patient and physician.
