Core offering

Heartbeat Medical develops and licenses heartbeat ONE, a CE-marked Class 1 medical device software platform that automates the collection of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) from patients and turns them into Real-World Evidence for hospitals, health insurers, medical device companies, and pharmaceutical companies. The platform integrates bidirectionally with Electronic Health Record systems via HL7 and FHIR standards, and supports pay-for-performance reimbursement contracts, value-based care programs, and clinical registry enrichment across European healthcare markets.

Product overview

Heartbeat Medical offers heartbeat ONE as its core unified outcome measurement platform, a GDPR-compliant CE-marked digital solution for collecting Patient-Reported Outcomes and generating Real-World Evidence across healthcare organizations. The platform is augmented by a suite of branded modules: heartbeat.PROvalue provides the digital infrastructure for pay-for-performance and value-based reimbursement contracts; heartbeat.PROinsights enables medical device and pharmaceutical companies to generate Real-World Evidence for regulatory approval and market access; heartbeat.PROconnect supports decentralized registry data collection; and heartbeat.PROcare delivers CE-marked outcome measurement for hospital-wide deployment. The Heartbeat PROM Standard Sets library provides validated disease-specific quality of life instruments aligned with ICHOM and other international standards. Together, these products enable healthcare providers, payers, medical device companies, pharmaceutical firms, and registries to evaluate treatment impact on patients' quality of life from routine clinical practice through market approvals.

Broad incumbents

• Inovalon: Inovalon is a large healthcare data analytics platform serving payers, providers, and pharma with outcomes, quality, and risk-adjustment analytics — adjacent to Heartbeat's payer-side value-based care and provider outcomes measurement offerings, but operating at enterprise scale across multiple data domains.
• IQVIA: IQVIA is the largest global Real-World Evidence and healthcare analytics provider serving pharmaceutical and MedTech clients — directly comparable to Heartbeat's PROinsights module that generates RWE for market access and regulatory submissions, but operating at vastly greater scale with a full-service commercial offering.
• Health Catalyst: Health Catalyst is a healthcare data and analytics platform serving providers, payers, and life sciences with outcomes measurement and improvement — overlapping with Heartbeat's value-based care and outcomes measurement positioning, but as a much broader enterprise analytics vendor.
• Press Ganey (R1 RCM): Press Ganey is a long-established US leader in patient experience and outcomes measurement, now part of R1 RCM, offering a much broader portfolio that includes PROMs alongside CAHPS and patient satisfaction — overlapping with Heartbeat's clinical outcomes use case but at significantly larger scale and with different geographic focus.

Emerging players

• TriNetX: TriNetX operates a global federated health research network providing real-world data for clinical trial design and RWE generation — comparable to Heartbeat's PROinsights and PROconnect offerings for MedTech/pharma, with similar pharma client base but a focus on clinical trial optimization rather than PROMs.
• Phreesia: Phreesia is a patient intake and engagement platform that has expanded into patient-reported outcomes and clinical screening — comparable to Heartbeat on the patient-facing data collection layer for ambulatory and specialty practices, with overlap on outcomes workflows but a primary focus on patient intake and access.
• Cedar Gate Technologies: Cedar Gate provides value-based care analytics and payment technology for payers and providers, including pay-for-performance contract administration — directly comparable to Heartbeat's PROvalue module for outcome-based reimbursement, with a broader actuarial and population health focus.

Direct peers

• Validic: Validic is a digital health data platform connecting patient-generated health data from wearables, devices, and apps into EHRs and analytics systems — comparable to Heartbeat's EHR-integrated outcomes platform, though focused on device/wearable data streams rather than patient-reported questionnaires.
• PatientIQ: PatientIQ is a US-based PROMs and outcomes management platform deeply integrated with EHR systems, focused on orthopedics and expanding into other specialties — directly mirroring Heartbeat Medical's model of EHR-integrated patient-reported outcome collection for hospitals and specialty practices.
