Our Story
Approximately 18 million people worldwide die of heart disease every year, making cardiovascular diseases the number-one killer worldwide. Nearly 50% of all adults have at least one risk factor for heart disease, yet because of the lack of symptoms and accessible heart monitoring technology, most cases go undetected until it’s too late.
Patch Inc. established in 2018 in the USA, is an innovative digital healthcare company that aims to make cardiac care affordable and accessible anywhere, anytime. We combine human intelligence and artificial intelligence into ultra-light, everyday-wearable patch which provides continuous cardiac monitoring and timely detections and alerts.
The best way to battle heart disease is prevention.
The best strategy to prevent is early detection.
A single test that provides early detection of cardiac abnormalities may add years to a patient’s life. Although many patients seeing a physician have risk factors that indicate screening for arrhythmias should be done, having the technology, staffing, and time in the physician office can be a challenge. patchQuick is designed to address these issues, keeping the doctor’s workflow in mind.
While waiting to see the physician, patchQuick screening can be done in the waiting room. It is a rapid, seamless test that does not add any burden to the office staff. Once the patient is ready to see the physician, the ECG, with the analysis, is ready for the physician to review as part of the office visit.
The device is lighter than a pen and can test the heart in less than 30 seconds. Just as reliable as the standard echocardiography machines, but without the hassle. Patient data is always safe and we strictly follow HIPAA compliance.
