HeartBeam Patent Adds Acoustic Sensing to Credit Card-Sized ECG Device
HeartBeam receives U.S. patent for integrating acoustic sensing and thoracic impedance into its credit card-sized ECG device, enabling digital stethoscope function and fluid monitoring.
This patent matters because it brings advanced diagnostic capabilities—like detecting heart valve problems and fluid buildup—to a portable device patients can use at home. For the millions living with heart failure or structural heart disease, this could mean earlier warnings and fewer hospital visits, transforming how cardiac care is managed outside clinical settings.
