核心洞察
Dong-A ST (搜索)'s Hicardi+ H100 (搜索), a patch-type ECG monitoring device, has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. FDA, including its cloud-based software LiveStudio.
The device, developed by Meju (搜索), measures ECG and heart rate for long-term monitoring and is already used in Korea for cardiac disease (搜索) screening.
This FDA approval follows certifications from Japan and Saudi Arabia, marking the first Korean smart patch with on-device machine learning for real-time biosignal analysis.
Dong-A ST (搜索) announced that its ECG monitoring platform, Hicardi+ H100 (搜索), developed by digital healthcare startup Meju (搜索), has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This clearance includes the cloud-based software LiveStudio, which enables medical professionals to perform biosignal analysis and generate reports.
Hicardi+ H100 (搜索) is a patch-type device designed for long-term continuous ECG monitoring, measuring ECG, heart rate, and other relevant metrics. It is currently utilized in South Korea for cardiac disease (搜索) screening in outpatient clinics, health check-up centers, and veterans hospitals.
The FDA approval follows previous certifications from Japan's PMDA and Saudi Arabia's SFDA. According to Dong-A ST (搜索), this approval marks the first instance in Korea of a smart patch utilizing on-device machine learning technology to analyze biosignals in real-time directly from the patch.
Executive Perspectives
Jeong Jae-hoon, CEO of Dong-A ST (搜索), stated that 2024 has been a pivotal year for establishing the Hicardi solution in the domestic market. He added, "We will accelerate our efforts to support overseas expansion with the FDA approval as a catalyst."
