Great pickup - yes indeed, inpatient admission for drug initiation has been the standard for too long (30 years to be precise). We use the standard Fridericia formula preferred for assessing drug risk, but we also use Bazett correction for algorithm validation as it is used more often clinically

Love these cardiology-specific questions! Low risk would indeed be based on the history, labwork (e.g. renal function), baseline ECG including HR, and EF

Great question, by detecting and alerting the earliest ECG changes that are well-validated risk factors for sudden cardiac death, we can prevent these deaths and get the patient the care they need

Sorry to hear about your kid, SVTs can be tough. May be worth asking your pediatrician about other options for monitoring that are suited for pediatric use!

Interesting, that sounds like a useful tool - we all could benefit from a better understanding of our heart health at any given time!

Ah interesting note, we chose that color scheme for our software interface including that green - you're right, that does convey medical!

Thanks so much, yes we agree - patients have hated being hospitalized to start pills long before COVID! But now, as you point out, there is even more urgency to treat people safely at home.

Thank you so much! Our patient interface guides them through how to hold the device, it's a very simple device so even our 90 year old patients love using them :)

Awesome, yeah we mentioned it briefly but heart rhythm side effects are a problem for so 300+ drugs - antibiotics, pain meds, psychiatric meds. The list goes on!

Yes, you get it - it's a boring hospitalization all around! For patients getting a cardioversion after their drug-load, they can fortunately come get one as an outpatient (most cardioversions are for elective outpatients, and in fact the inpatients often get bumped for the scheduled outpatients). Hospitals are particularly happy about our workflow because they don't get dinged for readmissions - whether for cardioversions or for drug dose adjustments, which also require readmission under the current standard.

Phase I Software validation doesn't require clinicaltrials.gov registration, but our Phase II trial will be per FDA!
