Mumbai, February 2024 – SmartCardia, a renowned leader in the field of cardiac monitoring solutions, announces an exciting partnership with Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital to revolutionize patient care for individuals with cardiac arrhythmia, a condition when the heartbeat is irregular due to a problem with the heart’s electrical signals. This collaboration will create a more accurate and efficient monitoring system, enabling early detection and improved patient outcomes. The announcement was made at a special session for healthcare professions on the “Role of AI in Cardiology and Healthcare” held at Kokilaben Hospital.

One of the key highlights of this collaboration is the introduction of the SmartCardia 7L patch, which allows for the detection of severe cardiac arrhythmia conditions earlier than ever before due to its real-time transmission of ECG and multiple vitals. This breakthrough technology provides doctors with immediate access to data, and auto alerts on cloud, enabling them to make more informed clinical decisions. With early detection, physicians can now devise tailored treatment plans, leading to more successful outcomes and increased patient satisfaction.

Dr. Jag Singh, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School & Principal Advisor for SmartCardia said “Collaborating with Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital (KDAH) marks a significant step towards advancing cardiac arrhythmia care. As we embrace the future of medicine, bridging gaps in healthcare ecosystems through innovative partnerships is paramount. Together with KDAH, SmartCardia aims to leverage artificial intelligence and transformative technologies to revolutionize patient care, ensuring a brighter and healthier future for all.”
