India’s first indigenously developed heart rhythm monitoring technology

India Medtronic Private Limited has partnered with Cardiac Design Labs (CDL) to launch and expand access to CDL’s Padma Rhythms, an external loop recorder patch for long-term heart monitoring and diagnosis. Medtronic will become the exclusive distributor of Padma Rhythms in India, while both companies will jointly develop training and education programs to expand the technology’s reach across the country.

The ELR device combines the convenience of an external patch with the advanced capabilities of a Holter, ensuring accurate and insightful data for the monitoring period. CDL’s innovative wearables are designed for use in sweat-inducing conditions, with dependable workflows and minimal interventions. CDL’s proprietary algorithms have been benchmarked against the best globally, ensuring test outcomes and accuracy in rhythm diagnosis. The collaboration holds immense promise for the future of cardiac care in India, marking the coming together of a decade of building an indigenous platform with a strong R&D focus and interplay of technologies.

Anand Madanagopal, founder and chief executive officer at CDL said, “We are thrilled to collaborate with Medtronic in our combined objective to alleviate the burden of heart rhythm disorders in India.
