Launching a New Standard in Post-Op Arrhythmia Monitoring
UW doctor's invention helped save baby's life
Fabian’s oxygen saturation in his blood had fallen to less than 50%, dangerously below the normal range of 95% to 100%.
Fabian looked fine and his breathing seemed normal, but something was clearly wrong. He was diagnosed with D-Transposition of the Great Arteries, a major heart defect that limits blood flow from lungs to the body.
Market Challenges We Are Addressing
Up to 60% of pediatric patients experience arrhythmias after heart surgery
Increased length of stay places high burden on the patient and hospital
Surface electrode signals are often not sufficient in diagnosis of atrial arrhythmias
Current practice is time consuming to create short atrial electrogram printout
Our Solution - The AtriAmp
The AtriAmp facilitates monitoring and treatment of atrial arrhythmias by providing a continuous atrial electrogram.
Mission
We are focused on cardiac health and improving the lives of patients through advances in medical technology. Our desire is to bring cardiac medical devices to market by closely integrating healthcare, business, and engineering specialists.
