At the 2011 mHealth Summit, Aventyn announced the collaboration agreement. The summit is organized by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health in partnership with mHIMSS, the mHealth Alliance and the National Institutes of Health.

Aventyn will integrate the EPIC sensor in a mobile platform to take non-intrusive ECG measurements personalized to individual heart failure patients. The patient smartphone device can display the measured ECG, and it is integrated with Vitalbeat, a software application for remote monitoring and chronic disease management of patients diagnosed with heart failure and related comorbidities.

Plessey has an innovative solution with the EPIC sensor designed to non-intrusively capture patient vital signs and activity levels integrated with Vitalbeat mobile health solutions. Emergency responders, cardiologists and general practitioners will have an easy to use ECG remote monitoring tool for heart failure patients at their convenience of location. Vitalbeat’s use of the EPIC sensor in ongoing and future clinical studies will enable patients and cardiologists to assess new ways of using diverse mobile devices and technology to share critical health information, resulting in more efficient and lower healthcare costs globally.
