Cambridge Heartwear Lands £184m NHS Contract for World's First Reusable ECG Wearable
The agreement gives Integrated Care Boards access to the world’s first reusable wearable combining ECG monitoring, artificial intelligence and wireless charging.
- On Wednesday, Cambridge Heartwear secured a landmark £184 million tender with the National Health Service to deploy HeartSense, a portable, wirelessly charged ECG wearable connecting directly to mobile phones.
- Founded by Professor Rameen Shakur at Cambridge Science Park, the company developed the AI-powered device utilizing 86 patents to enable earlier clinical intervention and improved patient outcomes.
- Engineered in Cambridge and manufactured in Britain, the system is UKCA approved and ISO 13845 certified, with FDA 510 applications currently in progress to identify cardiovascular disease and stroke risk.
- "We did not have a UK ECG manufacturer and reporter until now," said Shakur. The partnership enables Integrated Care Boards to deploy the wearable at scale across community settings.
- Empowering patients to monitor heart rhythms at home, the deployment supports a preventative approach to heart disease while reducing pressure on secondary care services and improving access to high-quality diagnostics.
