Good question—this clinical validation study is a first, necessary step to prove that this technology is accurate enough to be used in a real-world setting, but the research study alone is a milestone rather than the end goal.
We're now working on implementing care pathways within the Cardiogram app. If all goes well, you should hear something from us in the next few months.
(In general, a digital health startup requires more patience than most other types of startups: you need to run rigorous, IRB-approved clinical studies to prove the technology really works; work with health systems and insurers rigorously show health economics; and comply with applicable regulations like HIPAA and FDA. There are just a lot of details to think through.)
- arikr 9y agoOkay. Any way for me to get updates on when it's available for use?
- brandonb 9y agoIt'll appear directly in the Cardiogram app. (Would you personally find it helpful to have another mechanism, like a mailing list?)
- arikr 9y agoYeah. Don't have an Apple watch but if it can detect sleep apnea or other issues, I'd consider buying one for my partner. Mailing list would be ideal.
