About us

HelpWear is pioneering an entirely new category of long-term wearable heart monitors to increase the detection of clinically significant cardiac events. This advancement enables the initiation of more tailored and timely guideline-directed therapies, resulting in superior ongoing patient management. Worn on the bicep, HeartWatch is a purpose-built medical device that combines the comfort of a consumer wearable with the precision of medical-grade metallic sensors—overcoming the clinical limitations of PPG technology found in consumer devices and the wearability challenges of traditional Holter monitors, which are limited to just 2-14 days due to skin irritation. HeartWatch is the only device capable of continuously recording a patient’s ECG signal for as long or as short a time as necessary to achieve a diagnosis, without the cost or invasiveness of a surgical implant
