iRhythm is changing the game in a heart rhythm monitoring space that has been dominated for years by the Holter Monitor. Here’s how.
About 14 years ago, when Mark Day was interviewing at iRhythm, he could see the unmet needs that a project out of Stanford’s Biodesign program addressed.
While that was a start, there was still a ways to go for what would become a massive disruptor in electrocardiograph monitoring and AFib detection.
“While the design and idea was very compelling — and even 14 years later we’re doing very much what that idea was and have brought it to life and are changing the standard of care as a result — the reality was that it was a hockey puck that never would have adhered very long to the chest. It was very much a concept,” Day, who is now iRhythm’s EVP of R&D, told Medical Design & Outsourcing. “Our challenge as medical device professionals was to figure out how to take this concept that was a great idea but was not obviously directly useful and have it iterated into something that could be impactful.”
