VitalScan

What VitalScan does

VitalScan is a product brand of Medeia Inc, a privately held medical technology company established in 1992 and headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, with a registered entity in Heerhugowaard, Netherlands for EU operations. The company develops FDA-cleared, non-invasive biomedical diagnostic systems that assess Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) function, vascular health, and sudomotor activity. Core technologies combine heart rate variability (HRV) analysis, pulse wave velocity (PWV), and galvanic skin response measurements to generate comprehensive interpretive reports within 15 minutes, with documented clinical sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 95% on its SudoCheck platform.

The product portfolio centers on the VitalScan line: ANS+ and ANS Tilt for autonomic function testing, SudoCheck+ and QSART+ for sudomotor and peripheral neuropathy assessment, Vascular+ and ABI+ for cardiovascular and arterial evaluation, and Combo Pro+ as an integrated platform. Supporting sub-brands include BrainView NS Pro+, NeuroTrace EEG, CardioView ECG, SleepStudy PSG, and QAthlete. Products are prescription-only and distributed to medical clinics, healthcare practices, and hospital outpatient departments serving cardiologists, neurologists, general practitioners, and pain management specialists.

VitalScan generates revenue through direct hardware sales to healthcare providers, a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) processing service offered as a professional services line, an international distributor program with volume-based commissions, an affiliate referral program, and software updates and maintenance. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales in the US with international distributors across multiple countries, targeting fragmented healthcare provider customers with no publicly disclosed large anchor accounts. The company maintains HIPAA compliance and GDPR-aligned EU data processing standards.

Core offering

VitalScan designs, manufactures, and sells FDA-cleared, prescription-only non-invasive medical diagnostic systems that perform autonomic nervous system (ANS), vascular, and sudomotor function testing for healthcare providers. Its core product family (ANS+, ANS Tilt, SudoCheck+, Vascular+, and the integrated Combo Pro+) combines proprietary HRV, QSART/galvanic skin response, PWV, and ABI algorithms to deliver comprehensive interpretive reports within approximately 15 minutes, identifying hidden risks such as sudden death, silent heart attack, hypertension, diabetic autonomic neuropathy, orthostatic hypotension, and syncope.

Product overview

VitalScan is a medical diagnostic technology company that offers a portfolio of FDA-cleared non-invasive testing systems for autonomic nervous system (ANS) assessment, vascular evaluation, and sudomotor function testing. The core product line includes VitalScan ANS+ for comprehensive autonomic function testing with HRV analysis, VitalScan Vascular+ for cardiovascular/vascular assessments including Pulse Wave Velocity and arterial indices, and VitalScan SudoCheck+ for sudomotor function and neuropathy detection. The Combo Pro+ integrates all three testing modalities into a unified system. Supporting products include BrainView NS Pro+ for neuro-cognitive assessment, NeuroTrace EEG, CardioView ECG, SleepStudy PSG, and QAthlete for athletic performance. All VitalScan products are developed by Medeia Inc and designed for prescription use in medical clinics, healthcare practices, and hospital outpatient departments.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Philips: Philips is a broad healthcare technology incumbent in patient monitoring, cardiology, and sleep diagnostics. Comparable to VitalScan on ECG and cardiovascular diagnostic workflows, but operates at enterprise scale across hospital and home monitoring segments.
• Hillrom (Baxter): Hillrom, now part of Baxter, is the successor to Welch Allyn and produces vital signs monitors, ECG, and connected care platforms used in ambulatory and acute settings. Comparable to VitalScan on vital signs monitoring but without the autonomic or sudomotor specialization.
• GE HealthCare: GE HealthCare is a major incumbent across patient monitoring, ECG, anesthesia, and diagnostic imaging. Comparable to VitalScan on ECG and multi-parameter vital signs monitoring as part of a broad enterprise portfolio, but not specialized in autonomic or sudomotor assessment.
• Mindray: Mindray is a global medical device company offering patient monitoring, vital signs, and ECG systems used across hospitals and outpatient settings. Overlaps with VitalScan on multi-parameter monitoring and ECG, but at significantly broader scale and across inpatient as well as outpatient use cases.
• Schiller: Schiller AG is a Swiss medical device company offering ECG, cardiac diagnostics, stress testing, and patient monitoring. Overlaps with VitalScan on ECG analysis and cardiovascular risk assessment as part of a much broader diagnostic portfolio serving hospitals and clinics.
• Nihon Kohden: Nihon Kohden is a Japanese medical electronics manufacturer specializing in patient monitoring, ECG, and neurology diagnostics. Comparable to VitalScan on multi-parameter vital signs and ECG analysis as part of an established global medical device franchise.

Direct peers

• Itamar Medical: Itamar Medical (now part of ZOLL/Asahi Kasei) markets the WatchPAT platform for sleep apnea and cardiovascular autonomic assessment using peripheral arterial tone and HRV. Comparable to VitalScan on HRV-based autonomic and cardiovascular risk evaluation in specialty clinical workflows.
• CardieX: CardieX (which acquired AtCor Medical, the SphygmoCor PWV/arterial stiffness franchise) makes central and peripheral arterial stiffness and hemodynamic monitoring devices used in clinical autonomic and vascular assessment. It is the most direct functional peer to VitalScan's PWV, Augmentation Index, and segmental vascular assessment modules.
• WR Medical Electronics: WR Medical Electronics manufactures autonomic and sudomotor function testing equipment, including QSART and related small-fiber neuropathy instruments. Directly comparable to VitalScan's SudoCheck+ sudomotor and QSART modules targeting autonomic neuropathy and dysautonomia diagnosis.
• Mesi Medical: Mesi Medical produces the MESI ABPI System for automated ankle-brachial pressure index measurement and other vascular diagnostic devices. Overlaps directly with VitalScan's ABI+ module and broader peripheral vascular assessment positioning in primary and specialty care.
