The Coala Heart Monitor is a portable device that is securely connected to the patient’s smartphone via Bluetooth. Patients start their monitor measurement by holding the device against their chest for thirty seconds, followed by a thumb ECG for increased detection accuracy.
After the measurement, the patient’s data is automatically sent for analysis in our secure and encrypted servers. The data is recorded and analyzed by advanced algorithms, in the same way, that a doctor makes a preliminary diagnosis and provides feedback with a result sent directly to the Coala app in real-time.
The results are seen immediately by the healthcare provider through the Coala Care Portal.
The system is designed to detect signs of atrial fibrillation, and different arrhythmias such as palpitations that clinically trained staff can interpret. Atrial fibrillation, one of the most common cardiac arrhythmia, is most easily detected by ECG measurement over time, as atrial fibrillation often occurs irregularly.
The monitor records your heart's electrical impulses in real-time with an ECG and the mechanical sound of your heart valves via the integrated stethoscope. This simultaneous measurement is what makes differs the system from other similar solutions. This is based on years of Swedish research and development.
It enables both digital thumb ECG and chest ECG to achieve optimal signal quality and diagnostic accuracy. The results are registered and analyzed within seconds. To then be presented in the app and to the healthcare provider in Coala Care portalCoala Heart Monitor system is a unique Swedish innovation and a complete healthcare solution for smart arrhythmia monitoring in everyday life.
The solution is based on unique patented technology and more than 10 years of Swedish research and development. Coala consists of digital technology that records and digitizes your heart sou and sensors to read the heart's electrical impulses with ECG.
Both a digital chest ECG and a thumb ECG were taken to achieve maximum precision and support for the analysis. All you need is a modern smartphone.
Advanced algorithms for the analysis, were developed in Sweden and validated in a collaboration between Lund University and Karolinska University Hospital. The analysis gives you results in just a few seconds - directly in the Coala app. And for the healthcare provider in the Coala Care portal
