AREAS OF USE
Addressing real‑world healthcare constraints
Healthcare systems are under increasing pressure. Growing patient needs, limited clinical capacity, and an aging population are making traditional, centralized care models increasingly unsustainable. Coala is designed to address these structural challenges by enabling cardiac investigations beyond the clinic — supporting access, efficiency, and scalability in real‑world healthcare environments.
Capacity
Specialist care at or beyond its limits
Access
Distance and mobility delay diagnostics
Care models
Short, scheduled windows miss events
Aging population
More patients need ongoing follow-up
01 · CAPACITY
Overburdened healthcare systems
Specialist clinics and diagnostic services are operating at or beyond capacity. Growing demand combined with limited staff makes it difficult to scale investigations using traditional, visit‑based workflows.
How Coala is used in practice
Coala extends capacity for arrhythmia investigations by shifting data capture out of the clinic while allowing clinicians to review and assess recordings remotely through structured digital workflows.
02 · ACCESS
Limited access to care
Geographic distance, reduced mobility, and uneven distribution of healthcare services prevent many patients from accessing timely cardiac diagnostics. This leads to delayed investigations and missed intermittent events.
How Coala is used in practice
Coala enables cardiac recordings to be captured outside hospitals and clinics, allowing investigations to begin without requiring patients to physically travel to care facilities.
03 · CARE MODELS
Care models built for the past
Centralized and episodic care models rely on short monitoring windows and scheduled visits, resulting in low diagnostic yield for intermittent and symptom‑driven conditions.
How Coala is used in practice
Coala allows recordings to be captured when symptoms occur, giving clinicians data from the moment of symptoms.
04 · AGING POPULATION
An aging population with growing care needs
Demographic changes are increasing the number of patients requiring recurring cardiac monitoring and follow‑up. Current care models are not designed to handle this growth sustainably.
How Coala is used in practice
Coala supports repeated recordings over time, enabling follow‑up and ongoing assessment without continuous in‑clinic visits.
Please note: The Coala Heart Monitor is not intended for emergency use. If you experience chest pain or believe you are having a medical emergency, call (112 in Sweden and the EU) right away. If your ECG shows an abnormal or unclear result, we recommend that you take a new measurement and discuss the result with your healthcare provider.
REGULATORY
Intended use
The Coala Heart Monitor is intended for self-testing by patients to record, store, transfer and display surface ECG and sound to aid the detection of heart and respiratory conditions. The Coala Heart Monitor is intended for use by healthcare professionals, individuals with known or suspected heart conditions and health conscious individuals. The Coala Heart Monitor is not intended for use for vital monitoring as in intensive care. There are no known contraindications for the Coala Heart Monitor.
The Coala Heart Monitor is intended to record, store, display and transfer single-channel electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms, as well as heart and lung sounds. The Coala Heart Monitor also displays ECG rhythms and detects the presence of normal sinus rhythm and atrial fibrillation (when prescribed or used under the care of a physician). The Coala Heart Monitor is intended for use by healthcare professionals and adults with known or suspected heart conditions. Rx ONLY.
