Market Opportunity
Patients with implantable devices like pacemakers or defibrillators need ongoing monitoring for optimal device performance and early detection of issues. Currently, patients lack direct access to their device data and rely on clinician reviews. Existing solutions often have fragmented, confusing interfaces and limited educational resources, reducing patient engagement. As healthcare moves towards continuous, patient-centered care, a unified digital tool is needed to provide real-time data and support.
USC Solution
