What Vital Beats does

Vital Beats ApS is a Copenhagen-based digital health company founded in 2018 as a spin-out from the University of Copenhagen, commercializing 10 years of PhD and academic research (2008-2018) by CEO Jonas Moll on the remote care of cardiac device patients. The company builds a cloud-based SaaS platform that aggregates transmissions from patients with implanted cardiac devices across the four major vendors (Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott, Biotronik) and applies a patent-pending automated triage technique that handles approximately 85% of routine cases, presenting only essential cases to clinicians in a unified dashboard. The platform is sold as a CE-marked medical device under EU Directive 93/42/EEC and is certified to ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 62304, and IEC 62366-1, with a companion patient-facing mobile app available on iOS and Android.

The company's go-to-market is a B2B sales-led motion targeting hospitals and cardiac clinics, with a "Get a demo" funnel on the website and dedicated country managers for the UK (Chris Howie) and Poland (Robert Skalik) in addition to the Danish home market. Revenue is generated through enterprise SaaS subscriptions billed annually to healthcare providers, though specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company has been primarily funded through non-dilutive European programs, including approximately $6 million in 2020 from the European Innovation Council / EISMEA / EU Horizon 2020, plus an earlier 2018 PSV seed of approximately $583K, and has earned multiple recognitions including the Danish Design Award (2021), EIT Health, Eureka/Eurostars, Innovation Fund Denmark, and Data Pitch.

Vital Beats combines clinical and data science expertise with Nordic design sensibilities, and its stated differentiators are multi-vendor interoperability, automated workload reduction, regulatory compliance, and a GDPR-compliant cloud architecture. Danish hospitals use the platform daily for remote monitoring, while the UK and Poland are described as expansion markets.

Core offering

Vital Beats provides a cloud-based SaaS platform that automates the triage and remote monitoring of cardiac device patients (pacemakers, ICDs) across all major device manufacturers, reducing clinician workload by 85% by automatically handling routine transmissions and surfacing only essential cases in a unified dashboard. The company also offers a CE-marked patient-facing mobile app that collects implant, heart rhythm, medicine, and medical history data from pacemaker patients and shares it with their treating hospital.

Product overview

Vital Beats offers two integrated products: (1) the Vital Beats Platform — a cloud-based, GDPR-compliant software platform for clinicians that automates triage and diagnostics of cardiac device patients across all major device vendors, reducing routine workload by 85%; and (2) the Vital Beats App — a CE-marked medical device mobile application for patients with pacemakers available on iOS and Android. These products work together to enable end-to-end remote monitoring: the platform receives device transmissions and triages them automatically, while the app facilitates direct patient engagement and data collection.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Vector Remote Care: Vendor-agnostic remote monitoring platform for patients with implanted cardiac devices (CIEDs). Direct competitor to Vital Beats because it targets the same clinician workflow of triaging transmissions from Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott and Biotronik devices on a single dashboard.
• iRhythm Technologies: Digital cardiac monitoring company (Zio long-term ECG patch) that combines connected hardware with cloud-based AI analytics for arrhythmia detection. Comparable to Vital Beats as a cardiology-focused digital health platform combining device data with AI-driven triage for clinicians.
• InfoBionic: US-based remote cardiac monitoring company whose MoMe Kardio platform streams continuous ECG and arrhythmia data to clinicians. Direct peer given the overlap in remote cardiac diagnostics delivered as a SaaS service to cardiology practices and hospitals.

Broad incumbents

• Medtronic (CareLink Network): Global cardiac device manufacturer whose CareLink remote monitoring network is the default platform for Medtronic pacemaker and ICD patients. A broad incumbent because it occupies one of the vendor silos Vital Beats integrates against, shaping hospital buying decisions.
• Boston Scientific (Latitude NXT): Cardiac device OEM operating the Latitude NXT remote monitoring system for its ICDs and pacemakers. Direct competitive analogue at the vendor level; multi-vendor tools like Vital Beats are typically positioned against Latitude NXT within Boston Scientific-dominant accounts.
• Abbott (Merlin.net): Abbott's Merlin.net patient care network provides remote monitoring for its cardiac rhythm devices. Comparable incumbent layer that Vital Beats' multi-vendor dashboard aggregates over.
• Biotronik (Home Monitoring): Cardiac device manufacturer whose Home Monitoring service transmits implant data for clinician review. Another vendor-specific incumbent whose data flows through Vital Beats' integration layer.
• Preventice Solutions (Boston Scientific): Remote cardiac monitoring business acquired by Boston Scientific, offering BodyGuardian and AI-assisted ECG analysis for ambulatory and post-event monitoring. Comparable incumbent given its bundled positioning with a major CIED vendor and overlap in remote cardiology monitoring.

Emerging players

• Eko Health: Digital cardiac auscultation company combining connected stethoscopes with FDA-cleared AI for detecting heart murmurs and AFib. Emerging peer because it represents a different point-of-care entry (auscultation vs. CIED transmissions) but competes for the same cardiology AI budget.
• Cardiologs (Philips): AI ECG analysis platform (now part of Philips) that automates arrhythmia detection from ambulatory recordings. Comparable as an AI-on-cardiac-data vendor with similar regulatory positioning and cardiology clinician buyer.
