NimbleHeart Physiotrace Smart was chosen by Wellness Solutions, to perform preventive Cardiac screening of the men and women in uniform that help save our lives – First responders. A shocking percentage of them die of Cardiovascular events.
Physiotrace Smart with its dry-electrode based fully reusable technology and clinical grade exercise ECG signal is now emerging to be a convenient, easy-to-prepare and easy-to-use solution for routine screening of First Responders staff in a discrete and time efficient way.
USPTO granted NimbleHeart a patent for dry electrode-based ECG harness design. Even small movements like patient breathing can affect the patient skin contact with electrodes causing artifacts in ECG tracings. NimbleHeart harness system design overcomes this and achieves clinical grade outpatient exercise ECG for preventive care and cardiac screening
Established cardiac, intensive cardiac, and pulmonary rehab services (CR/ICR/PR) have the option of delivering virtual rehab sessions during the public health emergency (PHE). AACVPR recently learned that HHS has announced the Public Health Emergency (PHE) will likely remain in the place for the entirety of 2021. When a decision is made to terminate this declaration or let it expire, HHS will provide 60 days notice prior to termination.
Cardiology 2.0, an online Cardiology publication, in their special issue on Cardiac monitoring has recognized NimbleHeart as one of the leading companies that are changing the frontiers of Cardiac Monitoring.

During their latest technologies show aired on January 27th, 2020 on AMC channel, NewsWatch program covered NimbleHeart Physiotrace Smart with live exercise ECG demonstration on a male with no skin shaving or preparation.
This recent study indicates low patient participation in outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation, especially by women and minority. NimbleHeart offers a discrete and reusable FDA approved handsfree wearable exercise ECG monitor Physiotrace Smart to enable a true home based Cardiac rehab for such patients.
NimbleHeart was invited to exhibit at the first Space Health Innovations Conference (SHIC) held at the University of California, San Francisco. There was a great deal of interest for the products’ applications for the upcoming Space Tourism healthcare market. Specific interest was focused on performance, wear-ability, reusability, and the level of practical clinical significance.
NimbleHeart was a proud sponsor of the Innovative Delivery Model for Cardiac Rehabilitation exhibit at the Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation’s (aacvpr.org) 34th Annual Conference held in Portland, OR. Home -based, “Hybrid” cardiac rehabilitation is the new frontier of preventive cardiac care. NimbleHeart has the unique technology to facilitate a true remotely monitored Exercise ECG for cardiac rehabilitation centers.
It is not surprising that the vision of remote cardiac care is becoming a reality! Evidence of this trend can be found in the following articles. With new reimbursement guidelines, CMS is also racing along with the new technologies to usher in a new era of preventive cardiac care.
Home-based heart rehab may help patients who can’t get to clinics
USPTO granted NimbleHeart a patent that uniquely identifies the technology to stream live clinical ECG data over Bluetooth Low Energy Interface.
It differentiates NimbleHeart’s technology capabilities from a plethora of ECG snapshot type devices as well as the Bluetooth capable Holter type devices on the market where the data is not displayed live while it is acquired.
NimbleHeart team headquarters in Silicon Valley moved to a new R&D and manufacturing capable facility at Miraloma Business Park in Sunnyvale.
NimbleHeart’s Physiotracetm Smart got FDA’s class II 510(k) clearance to market. The Physiotracetm Smart has a wearable and reusable design that can be wrapped and fastened around the torso. The device uses dry ECG electrodes and embeds an ECG acquisition unit with a Bluetooth Low Energy transmitter. A mobile application controls the data acquisition, displays the status of the device, heart rate and optionally the ECG waveform during a recording session. The mobile App also stores the ECG and the exercise session information and relays it to a cloud server for permanent storage and review by healthcare staff. The Physiotracetm Smart is designed to be used without electrolytic gels and without adhesives that necessitate skin preparation.
NimbleHeart Inc. is excited to announce that it has been selected as a “2016 TiE50 Winner” for the prestigious TiE50 Technology Awards Program.
