What Vivalink does

Vivalink (legal entity VivaLNK, Inc.) is a privately held digital health technology company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California. The company designs, manufactures, and commercializes FDA-, CE-, and NMPA-cleared medical-grade wearable sensors — including a multi-vital ECG patch (vv330/vv350) billed as the world's smallest at 7.5g, an FDA-cleared continuous temperature monitor (vv200), a continuous SpO2 sensor, and a single-piece programmable blood pressure cuff — paired with a cloud-based Biometrics Data Platform that delivers real-time and retrospective vital signs monitoring, multi-site data consolidation, and integration into clinical systems via RESTful APIs. An FDA-cleared arrhythmia detection algorithm covering 15+ rhythm types, validated to an ICC of 0.97 against a benchmark 3-lead ECG and 99% accuracy in activity classification (MAD analysis), is delivered as an integrated service alongside the hardware. The architecture follows a capture-connect-deliver pipeline with edge BLE sensors, a glass-box data provenance layer, and SDK-licensed integrations for third-party application developers.

The company serves roughly 400+ customers across three primary segments: biotech/pharma/MedTech companies conducting clinical trials (named logos include Eli Lilly, AbbVie, Novartis, and Bristol Myers Squibb), contract research organizations (Medpace and Clario for decentralized trial deployment), and healthcare providers and academic medical centers (Mass General Brigham, UCSF, Stanford, Harvard, Ochsner Health, Brigham and Women's Hospital). Use cases span decentralized clinical trials, mobile cardiac telemetry, extended Holter monitoring, hospital-at-home, ambulatory cardiac monitoring, post-operative atrial fibrillation detection, and rural/remote patient monitoring in cardiology, oncology, neurology, and respiratory therapeutic areas. The company maintains FDA 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA compliance and holds Vanta security certification.

Vivalink operates a multi-stream revenue model combining hardware sales of reusable/rechargeable sensors (multi-year operational life, IPX7 water resistance), subscription-based cloud data services and platform access, SDK and developer licensing fees, and managed services tied to arrhythmia detection. Pricing is quote-based with annual subscription billing and 30-day invoicing, characteristic of regulated clinical procurement. Go-to-market combines an enterprise field sales motion, an extensive channel/partner ecosystem (Best Buy Health/Current Health, Medpace, GE Healthcare, Ascom, Microsoft, and 10+ other digital health partners), and an API-first SDK distribution strategy targeting digital health application developers. The company employs 51-100 people and has been venture-backed by Niterra Ventures (lead, Nov 2023), BVCF, Pegasus Tech Ventures, and Yu Galaxy. Leadership comprises CEO Jiang Li, founder Niel Starksen, and EVP & CCO Aaron Timm.

Direct peers

• iRhythm Technologies: iRhythm's Zio long-term cardiac monitoring patch competes head-to-head with Vivalink's ECG patch for ambulatory ECG and arrhythmia detection. Both sell FDA-cleared patch monitors plus AI-backed arrhythmia analytics into the same cardiology and clinical trial customer base.
• AliveCor: AliveCor's KardiaMobile and KardiaBand provide consumer- and clinical-grade ECG capture with FDA-cleared arrhythmia algorithms. Like Vivalink, it targets both prescription cardiac monitoring and decentralized clinical trials via an SDK/API.
• Preventice Solutions (Boston Scientific): Preventice's BodyGuardian and remote cardiac telemetry services compete directly with Vivalink's Ambulatory Cardiac Monitoring and arrhythmia detection offerings. Both focus on mobile cardiac telemetry and extended Holter monitoring for providers and trial sponsors.
• InfoBionic: InfoBionic's MoMe Kardia platform offers ambulatory ECG and remote cardiac monitoring with cloud analytics, directly competing with Vivalink's patch-based Holter and MCT solutions for the same cardiology and clinical research customers.
• Biotricity: Biotricity's Bioflux and Biolink devices provide remote cardiac monitoring for clinicians, overlapping with Vivalink's ECG patch, arrhythmia detection, and remote patient monitoring services in the ambulatory cardiology segment.

Broad incumbents

• Philips (Royal Philips): Philips offers integrated RPM, cardiac monitoring, and hospital-at-home solutions as part of a much broader connected care portfolio. It overlaps with Vivalink in telehealth and remote vital signs monitoring but operates at a different scale and breadth.
• GE Healthcare: GE Healthcare provides a broad patient monitoring portfolio and is also a Vivalink integration partner. As an incumbent, it competes for the same hospital and clinical trial spend while offering far more comprehensive device and analytics suites.
• Medtronic: Medtronic's cardiac diagnostics and remote monitoring solutions (e.g., LINQ ICM, CareLink) overlap with Vivalink's arrhythmia and ambulatory cardiac monitoring offerings. It is a much larger incumbent with deep hospital integration and global reach.

Emerging players

• Current Health (Best Buy Health): Current Health provides a virtual hospital RPM platform that both competes with and integrates Vivalink sensors. Its broader vital signs scope and Best Buy Health distribution make it a meaningful adjacent player in hospital-at-home RPM.
• Withings: Withings offers consumer- and clinician-facing connected health devices (BP, ECG, sleep, SpO2) with cloud APIs that overlap with parts of Vivalink's wearable portfolio. It is a relevant emerging peer for SDK-driven, multi-vital remote monitoring use cases.
