The COALA is a CE and FDA 510(k) cleared device supported by strong clinical data with thousands of users. The chest-ECG with synchronized heart sound recording and thumb-ECG is transmitted via Bluetooth to maximize quality, precision and accuracy - with less artifacts and minimized false positives.

COALA’s smart algorithms analyze the recordings based on pattern recognition, P-waves and RR variability. Conventional 1-lead ECGs typically only detect AF based on RR variability, which result in high false positives. The COALA has been proven to be 300% more accurate than standard 1-lead ECG solutions, typically used in watches and other portable ECG’s.

State-of-the-art 1,000 Hz and 24-bit ECG digital architecture and data analyzed by high-performance cloud-based platform.

The HIPAA-compliant Coala Care portal presents data in real-time to providers and includes a smart report generator with ability to manually annotate and download raw data for further analysis.

Published data has not only proved high sensitivity and specificity for the system, but also a PPV of 87% for automatic AF detection.

The COALA was used in the groundbreaking RedHeart Study by the Karolinska Institute (Stockholm, Sweden) and included nearly 1,000 women and over 280,000 ECG recordings in everyday life. The study showed an increase in quality of life in women with palpitations, because of the instant results that helped reduce symptoms, anxiety and depression.

The COALA is currently used in multiple clinical studies including the TEASE-study on cryptogenic stroke patients. The COALA is provided to patients to help detect AF post-admission for an extended period of time at home. Results to be presented in 2020.

COALA has an integrated stethoscope that captures heart sounds. During ECG recordings, the heart sound is recorded and synchronized with the chest measurement. The data is presented as a digital phonocardiogram (PCG) to aid the detection of murmurs.

Heart sounds can also be listened to remotely and downloaded from the Coala Care portal.

The COALA is ideal for user-centered studies and for collecting large amounts of ECG data and heart sounds in geographically distributed groups. COALA's market-leading performance is clinically evaluated and is based on research findings presented at several national and international research conferences.

The Coala Care portal provides web-based access to real-time patient data with abilities to interpret, annotate and download raw data for further analysis. It’s all Microsoft Azure based with secure storage in the US and Europe.
