EKARDIA

EKardia is a fully leadless, wearable “vest-like” EKG device designed to improve accuracy, comfort, and safety in cardiac monitoring. Traditional EKGs rely on multiple gel-based electrodes and wires, which are often misplaced—up to 64% of the time—leading to unreliable results and patient discomfort, especially for women, individuals with body hair, or those with adhesive allergies. eKardia eliminates these issues through a novel non-adhesive electrode design and wireless 12-lead configuration, ensuring precise placement without the risk of lead misplacement or skin irritation. In addition, eKardia integrates AI-assisted data analysis to filter artifacts and help physicians more effectively detect arrhythmias and other heart abnormalities, making the process easier for nurses and more comfortable for patients.
