What APN Health does
APN Health, LLC is a privately held medical device company headquartered in Waukesha, Wisconsin, that develops Navik 3D, an FDA-cleared, hardware-agnostic 3D cardiac mapping system for catheter ablation procedures targeting atrial fibrillation and other cardiac arrhythmias. The company was founded by Dr. Jasbir Sra, an internationally recognized electrophysiologist formerly with Aurora Health Care, with the objective of materially lowering the cost of 3D cardiac mapping relative to incumbent systems that list at $250,000 to $3 million per installation and $4,000-$6,500 per procedure. Navik 3D is built on proprietary and patented software algorithms that convert real-time 2D fluoroscopic image data from existing electrophysiology-lab fluoroscopy systems into 3D x-y-z catheter localization, producing anatomical, activation, and voltage maps without requiring dedicated mapping hardware. The platform integrates with a range of catheters including cryoballoon and supports feature modules such as Catheter Tracking, Cryoballoon Visualization, 3D Viewer, Point List, Annotation Window, and Real-Time ECG/EGM monitoring. APN Health holds 13 patents relating to Navik 3D already allowed, with four additional patents filed and ten more in process, and FDA 510(k) clearance for the first-generation device was obtained in 2016-2017, with the first commercial procedure performed at Aurora St. Luke's on March 26, 2018.
APN Health's business model centers on enterprise sales of the Navik 3D system to hospitals and electrophysiology labs, with distribution partners (TechData for system integration, Sirius for supply chain) added in Q2 2018 to extend reach. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but is positioned as a fraction of competing systems' $500,000-$3,000,000 capital cost; a multi-year contract cadence is implied by the medical-device enterprise sales motion. Two reference customers are named in the available data—Aurora St. Luke's (Milwaukee) as the founding Q1 2018 clinical site, and the University of Illinois at Chicago as the Q4 2018 expansion site—with documented use cases in cryoablation and AF ablation. The company also identifies developing-world healthcare providers as a secondary target segment where expensive mapping systems are inaccessible, and pursues clinical validation and KOL engagement through industry events such as AFib Summit Boston 2019.
The company operates with 11-50 employees and a technical team drawn from GE Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, St. Jude Medical, SAP, and other medical-imaging and signal-processing backgrounds, collectively holding over 150 prior patents. Other partners include Decus Biomedical (quality and regulatory consulting), Jasson/Janlaw (IP counsel), Triassic Solutions (offshore software development in India), and NVIDIA via the Inception Program for AI/GPU resources. APN Health is founder-controlled, with no disclosed institutional investors, external funding rounds, mergers and acquisitions, or parent company affiliations in the available data, suggesting a bootstrapped operating posture concentrated under founder/Managing Member Dr. Jasbir Sra and VP of Product Development & Operations David Geddam.

Revenue model
- Medical Device Sales (Hardware + Software): APN Health generates revenue through sale of the Navik 3D system, which combines proprietary software with standard medical imaging hardware. As a medical device company, revenue comes from system sales to hospitals and electrophysiology labs, with potential recurring revenue from software updates and support services.
- Software Licensing: Proprietary and patented software algorithms form the core of Navik 3D's value proposition, suggesting licensing revenue as a component of the business model. The software is designed to work with existing fluoroscopy equipment, reducing barrier to adoption.

APN Health product offering
Product offeringCore offering
APN Health sells the Navik 3D system, an FDA-cleared, hardware-agnostic 3D cardiac mapping system that uses proprietary software algorithms to convert real-time 2D fluoroscopic images into 3D catheter localization and cardiac chamber maps. The system enables electrophysiologists to perform catheter ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation and other heart rhythm disorders using existing hospital fluoroscopy equipment, eliminating the need for expensive dedicated mapping hardware.
Product overview
APN Health offers a single unified product called Navik 3D, which is a comprehensive 3D cardiac mapping system. The system consists of a core platform with integrated feature modules including Catheter Tracking, Cryoballoon Visualization, 3D Viewer, Real-Time ECG/EGM, Point List, and Annotation Window. The Navik 3D is built on proprietary and patented software algorithms that are hardware-agnostic, meaning it works with existing fluoroscopy systems and various catheter types already present in electrophysiology labs. The company holds 13 patents with more filed, protecting its unique approach to creating 3D cardiac maps from 2D fluoroscopic images at a fraction of the cost of competing systems.

APN Health competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Siemens Healthineers: Provides Artis fluoroscopy systems used in EP procedures and broader cardiology imaging platforms. As a fluoroscopy vendor, Siemens represents the type of incumbent whose installed base Navik 3D leverages for hardware-agnostic deployment.
- Philips Healthcare: Provides fluoroscopy and interventional imaging systems used in EP labs and offers integrated EP procedure solutions. While not a direct 3D mapping competitor, Philips is a potential strategic partner or channel for Navik 3D given hardware-agnostic design.
- GE HealthCare: Provides fluoroscopy systems and cardiology imaging equipment used in EP labs. Several APN team members are former GE Healthcare engineers; GE is both a potential distribution partner for fluoroscopy-integrated mapping and a possible acquirer of cost-disruptive EP technology.
Emerging players
- Stereotaxis: Provides robotic magnetic navigation systems for EP ablation, addressing the same electrophysiology procedure workflow as Navik 3D. Focused on smaller subset of complex cases rather than broad 3D mapping but competes for hospital EP capital budgets.
- Imricor Medical Systems: Develops MR-guided (real-time MRI) cardiac ablation systems for atrial flutter and other arrhythmias, serving the same EP physician customer base. Adjacent technology approach (MR rather than fluoroscopy) but overlapping clinical use cases.
Direct peers
- Biosense Webster (Johnson & Johnson): Subsidiary of J&J and the dominant player in 3D electroanatomical cardiac mapping with the CARTO 3 system, used in the same AF/VT ablation procedures Navik 3D targets. Direct competitor in EP mapping with deep hospital relationships and bundled catheter/disposable revenue.
- Boston Scientific: Markets the Rhythmia HDx 3D cardiac mapping system for EP ablation procedures, competing head-to-head with Navik 3D in electrophysiology labs. Boston Scientific also bundles its own ablation catheters and is one of three major EP capital equipment vendors.
- Acutus Medical: Develops the AcQMap 3D cardiac mapping system for AF and complex arrhythmia ablation, directly competing with Navik 3D in EP mapping. Like APN, Acutus has pursued novel non-contact mapping approaches and is also a smaller challenger to incumbents.
- Abbott: Acquired St. Jude Medical and markets the EnSite Precision 3D cardiac mapping system, directly competing with Navik 3D in EP labs for AF ablation. Also sells ablation catheters and disposables, creating a bundled offering Navik lacks.
Regional players
- MicroPort Scientific: Through its EP-focused subsidiaries (e.g., FireMagic for ablation catheters), competes in cardiac ablation and serves as a regional/international player in EP. Comparable as an alternative pathway for hospitals seeking lower-cost EP technology outside dominant US incumbents.
