Hemodynamic monitoring from a fingertip

Heart failure monitoring without an implant

Seerlinq HeartCore tracks the earliest signal of worsening heart failure, left ventricular filling pressure, from a fingertip, at home.

In heart failure care, filling pressure has usually required a catheter or an implanted sensor. HeartCore estimates it from a 4-minute measurement with a finger sensor.

What Seerlinq does

From early signal to timely treatment

Prediction

See the risk of impending cardiac decompensation early, as filling pressures start to rise.

Personalisation

Adjust treatment to each patient, even before symptoms appear.

Prevention

Act in time to help avoid hospitalisations caused by worsening heart failure.

HeartCore is a non-invasive system for comprehensive heart failure monitoring at home, including the tracking of cardiac filling pressures. It analyses the photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal from a finger sensor connected to the patient's smartphone.

The science

Filling pressure rises first

Based on the pathophysiology of congestion

Cardiac filling pressures rise before congestion develops and symptoms appear, often up to 4 weeks earlier.

Pressure-guided heart failure therapy

Detecting worsening cardiac function early allows timely, individualised treatment adjustments, before symptoms appear.

How it works

Four minutes at home, every other day

  1. 01

    Measure at home

    The patient places a finger in the Seerlinq pulse oximeter, connected to the smartphone app: two minutes standing, then two minutes lying down. No healthcare professional needs to be present.

  2. 02

    HeartCore analyses the signal

    Our certified algorithm checks signal quality and derives Seerlinq LVFP, a non-invasive estimate of left ventricular filling pressure, from how the PPG signal responds to the change in posture.

  3. 03

    Clinicians act early

    The care team sees trends and alerts in the Seerlinq telemonitoring platform, alongside symptoms, weight, blood pressure and heart rate, and can adjust treatment early.

Woman, 77

A medication mix-up, caught early

Two to three weeks after a change to her treatment, HeartCore showed she was getting worse. The cause: she was taking the wrong dose.
