From the Heart
Thoughts from our CEO, Craig Cooper
COVID-19 forced us to transform how we engage with our friends, extended families, and customers. Like broader shifts such as working from home, telemedicine and remote monitoring happening around the world, we are reimagining how we can support our customers and partners with the timely information they need.
In this vein, we are excited to introduce several new resources including a quarterly research update highlighting studies of significance, and a webinar that we are co-hosting on Tuesday, November 17. Managing Ischemia with Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries (INOCA) will feature leading cardiologists from Johns Hopkins, Baylor and the University of Arizona. Click here to register.
We hope you can join us to learn more about our gold-standard SphygmoCor® technology for measuring central blood pressure, arterial stiffness, and other vital cardiovascular parameters.
Stay healthy, stay strong,
Partnership with Mobvoi on New Smartwatch
For many of us, glancing at our fitness trackers and smartwatches throughout the day is second nature. But we may not be getting the most impactful data needed to improve our health. To solve this, CardieX has partnered with leading consumer electronics and AI company, Mobvoi, to showcase our Arty™ health analytics platform built on our proprietary and globally patented SphygmoCor® technology. Learn more here.
European Patent Granted for Brachial Cuff Blood Pressure Technology
ATCOR was recently granted a new patent by the European Patent Office for the Company’s proprietary SphygmoCor® technology used in cuff-based blood pressure devices. The patent (EP2566387) for non-invasively estimating the heart’s pressure and pressure waveform related to cardiac function and arterial properties using a conventional BP cuff inflated to low pressure, builds on past patents granted in the United States and Japan and demonstrates its unique nature.

Upcoming and Recent Events
We hope you can join us for a webinar next month, Managing Ischemia with Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries (INOCA) Webinar (November 17, 5pm – 6pm CT). Moderated by Sachin Shah, MD, our panel of experts will explore the issue of Ischemia with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (INOCA) and the unique role central blood pressure measurement and Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) has in diagnosis and care.
