Kestra Medical Technologies Partners with Biobeat to Enhance ASSURE Wearable Defibrillator Diagnostics
Kestra Medical Technologies announced a strategic collaboration with Biobeat Technologies to expand diagnostic insight for patients prescribed the ASSURE Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator. The agreement is anchored by an exclusive license and co-development arrangement and includes a $5M equity investment in Biobeat's recently announced Series B financing. Biobeat has developed the only clinically validated, FDA-cleared cuffless, patch-worn ambulatory blood pressure monitoring device, leveraging photoplethysmography-based sensing to deliver continuous, noninvasive blood pressure measurement over a 24-hour period for hypertension diagnosis and management in the outpatient cardiac recovery setting. Kestra intends to integrate Biobeat's technology into its product portfolio to make ABPM data available for patients prescribed the ASSURE WCD.
