Last Updated 23 October 2016, 18:32 IST

Bengaluru-headquartered healthcare service and solutions provider Wide Heart Solutions (WHS) will open an office in the US in the next three months. The startup, which was founded in 2014, will also add three more customers by the end of this year.

“At present, we are located in Bengaluru, and we are planning to open a new office in the US. We are also preparing to launch AI-based Computer assisted medical coding system called MECODx in the US market,” Wide Heart Solutions Director and CEO Tony Mary Kuttiachen told DH.

WHS is serving customers from the US, Canada, Spain, the Netherlands and Singapore with its clinical monitoring services. “We will be getting three more clients by the end of this year,” he said.

It operates in the core medical services including Remote ECG (electrocardiogram) monitoring, Telecardiology and Teleradiology and develops value added solutions to enhance clinical and diagnosis efficiency.

“We offer our services to international clients and price point depends from one country to another. We have developed two healthcare products — AccurECG and MECODx. AccurECG is the world’s first real time high accurancy Artificiak Intelligence-based (AI) auto ECG interpretation tool for ambulatory ECG,” Kuttiachen said.

When asked about the startup’s beginnings, he said, “When I met a VP of an US-based ambulatory ECG monitoring company, he explained about the difficulty in handling and operating 24/7 ECG monitoring centre in the US. I proposed an option of doing the same from India and launched Wide Heart Solutions. Since then, we have been supporting Cardiology OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and IDTFs (independent diagnostic testing facility) across the globe with outsourced model of ECG reporting services. We have reported over seven million ECG reports till date.”

Kuttiachen claimed that Wide Heart is the first and the only company globally to come up with AI-based real time auto ECG interpretation system for ambulatory and hospital telemetry ECG. “Other than us, US-based Monebo develops algorithm for ambulatory ECG interpretation,” he said.

In November 2015, WHS raised Rs 2 crore in Series A funding from Naveen Srinivas, CEO and Director of Cogxar Research and Solutions. WHS has 15 full-time and 25 part-time employees and it plans to expand the team to 100 by the end of this year.
