HeartBeam, Inc, a cardiac technology company that has developed the first and only 3D-vector electrocardiogram (VECG) platform intended for patient use at home, today announced that it has entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement (SAA) with Samsung, extending the existing SAA between LIVMOR and Samsung. HeartBeam acquired the assets of LIVMOR earlier this year.
Under the terms of the agreement, HeartBeam and Samsung will identify and define opportunities for collaboration, tapping the HeartBeam team’s expertise and patented technology in the assessment and monitoring of cardiac symptoms.
“The goal of this partnership is to bring standard of care for cardiac diagnostic capabilities to patients by utilizing cutting edge technologies of both Samsung and HeartBeam,” said Branislav Vajdic, Ph.D., HeartBeam CEO and Founder. “Our newly acquired state of the art, FDA cleared, Samsung watch-based arrhythmia detection tool, once integrated with the HeartBeam AIMIGo™ telehealth platform, presents a unique opportunity to extend our product capabilities well beyond what is currently available for cardiac patients outside of a medical setting.”
Kevin Jones, Senior Director, Federal Healthcare, Samsung Electronics America, added, “The strategic collaboration between Samsung and LIVMOR was very successful, resulting in an FDA cleared solution for Atrial Fibrillation detection centered around the Samsung Galaxy watch and tablet running Samsung’s defense-grade cyber-security system, Knox. We are excited that LIVMOR is now part of HeartBeam and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration. The potential of combining LIVMOR’s technology and the HeartBeam AIMIGo system holds significant promise to address major cardiac conditions for our veterans.”
Founded in 2016, LIVMOR developed the Halo™ Atrial Fibrillation (AF) Detection System, the world’s first FDA-cleared prescription wearable for continuous cardiac rhythm monitoring. The Halo system provides continuous monitoring of pulse rhythms for the detection of AF on-demand during the day and automatically overnight. Under the previous SAA, LIVMOR and Samsung developed a physician-prescribed and fully integrated patient care platform that provides extended monitoring of patient cardiovascular health in virtually any setting, using medical grade equipment. LIVMOR’s technology was commercially deployed within the VA Healthcare System in Dallas, Texas.
