The company expands its personalized, mobile ECG now to over 25 countries around the world
AliveCor, the leader in AI-based, personal ECG technology, and provider of enterprise cardiology solutions, announced approval from the Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risk (COFEPRIS), to launch KardiaMobile in Mexico. AliveCor is partnering with Inpharamo, a Mexico based medical solutions company, to deploy the medical-grade ECG across the country, and to further expand AliveCor’s global footprint.
Mexico is the second largest health-tech market in Latin American and Inpharamo has a notable record in successfully launching digital health solutions in this marketplace. According to the World Health Organization, heart disease is the second leading cause of death in Mexico behind diabetes. Arrhythmias, like atrial fibrillation (AFib), affects an estimated one and a half million people in Mexico and are leading indicators of heart disease and stroke. The population that can be positively impacted by at-home ECG is growing given the amplifying effect of diabetes and obesity on heart health.
