Peerbridge Health’s AI-enabled Cor MDx wearable receives MedTech Breakthrough Award for advancing cardiac diagnostics and patient monitoring.
Peerbridge Health, developer of a hospital-grade, remote monitoring and diagnostic platform that harnesses AI to detect early signs of heart failure, has been selected as the winner of the “Best New Technology Solution for Cardiology” award in the 9th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global digital health and medical technology market.
Peerbridge Health has developed and validated through prospective trials the ability of the Peerbridge Cor wearable to detect heart failure, estimate ejection fraction, and diagnose sleep apnea directly from the device without any patient demographic or medical history inputs required.
In March, the company announced its next-generation device, Cor MDx, an IoT wearable, combining signal fidelity and real-time multi-lead streaming and connectivity over BLE and LTE to offer a seamless solution for cardiac care. The cardiac monitoring wearable can deliver noninvasive cardiopulmonary measurements including cardiac output to enable the 30-plus indications previously announced in Peerbridge’s COR-INSIGHT trial. Cor MDx is designed to expand access to early detection and intervention.
“Bringing inexpensive hospital-grade diagnostics to a patient’s home is a critical first step to reaching tens of millions of underserved patients,” says Chris Darland, CEO of Peerbridge Health, in a release. “Our AI-powered device enhances diagnostic yield and reduces costs, enabling hospitals, physicians, and patients to access critical cardiac insights like never before. We thank MedTech Breakthrough for acknowledging the work we are doing to bring care to those who need it most.”
Recognizing Excellence in Medtech
The MedTech Breakthrough Awards program celebrates excellence and innovation in the health and medical technology industry, recognizing the companies, products, and solutions driving meaningful progress and improving patient care. The awards span a range of categories, including telehealth, clinical administration, patient engagement, electronic health records, virtual care, medical devices, medical data and privacy, and more.
This year’s program saw a record-breaking number of nominations from leading companies and startups across more than 18 countries.
“Peerbridge Health is reinventing heart failure detection. For patients, the period from initial outreach to a cardiologist appointment and testing can take months. Reliance on imaging, catheter-based techniques, and biochemical assays also delay diagnosis or worsening conditions,” says Steve Johansson, managing director of MedTech Breakthrough, in a release. “Peerbridge can deliver an accurate diagnosis in under 30 minutes at a fraction of the cost of traditional diagnosis. Peerbridge is offering a paradigm shift in diagnostic precision and accessibility from a single ECG wearable, reducing patient burden and enabling more frequent assessments.”
