| CASTLE PINES, Colo., June 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Proximo Medical, LLC, a business acceleration solution that addresses medical device commercialization challenges among startup and established medical device technologies looking to expand adoption in the U.S., announced a partnership with Coala Life, a leading Swedish-headquartered digital health company, in select U.S. markets.
The COALA® Heart Monitor provides real-time diagnostic-quality ECG analysis and heart sound recordings simultaneously to patient and health care providers to detect and diagnose heart disease. The innovation aims to digitally transform the field of cardiac diagnostics. Through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency Guidance, the COALA Heart Monitor has expanded indications of use enabling physicians to remotely, in real-time, monitor patients’ hearts and lung sounds for COVID-19 respiratory diagnostic exams, as well as detecting nine of the most common arrythmias. “The COALA Heart Monitor advances telehealth capabilities with the aptitude to monitor respiratory and cardiac sounds in the safety of patient’s home, eliminating the need for in-person, office visits,” states Philip Siberg, co-founder and president, Coala Life, Inc. “By partnering Coala’s solutions and innovations with Proximo Medical, we accelerate our ability to help physicians deliver improved outcomes to patients in a variety of environments. The team specializes in putting transformative technologies into mainstream practice.” “Physicians need to meet patients where they are,” states Jerome V. Dwyer, MD, MBA and Cardiologist active in St Louis, Missouri. “Cardiology has quickly shifted to telemedicine solutions and the COALA Heart Monitor offers a unique, customized diagnostic and treatment solution with data available to patient and physician in real-time.” Once connected through Bluetooth to a smartphone, the Monitor takes one minute to capture both ECG and heart sounds in the chest and thumb-ECG recording. Cloud-based algorithms analyze recordings in real-time and results are presented instantly to both patient and prescribing physician. “COVID-19 is shifting the way physicians deliver care and patients receive it. Coala innovations combine today’s smart technologies with at-home cardiac care management, and Proximo is excited to bring this technology to select U.S. markets,” states Brett Martin, CEO, Proximo Medical. “The COALA Heart Monitor will be an important tool in changing care delivery.” About Proximo Medical About Coala Life, Inc.
