About Us
Our vision:
«We will push the boundaries
of conventional thinking and
challenge
established beliefs with new technology.»
Our mission:
We will develop systems for physiological monitoring using wireless
transmission technology leading to faster, simpler and more cost-effective
treatment that allows patients to maintain a normal and active daily
life.
Company History
The idea was conceived in 2000 by Norwegian trauma medicine specialist
Einar Gunnarson, Senior Supervisor Medtec, Rune Fensli and biomedical/technical
expertise. Development has been ongoing from WPR Medical was founded
in 2003.
- 2003: A prototype of the ECG sensor was developed, demonstrating the
wireless design principles.
- 2004-05: A new and improved sensor and receiver was developed, and
lab-tested.
- 2006-07: Clinical trials on patients undergoing “Holter recorder”
arrhythmia investigation.
- 2007: Industrialization of the concept in a modern design.
Clinical trials have successfully been carried out according to a
defined research protocol, supported by the Research Council of Norway.
The new sensor and receiver have been developed, prototypes have been
constructed and the equipment has been tested according to international
standards and to conform to CE.
Arendal, Norway is an ideal location for developing new medical technology.
We have our own cardiology department with a highly specialized medical
staff at the SSA hospital and an
extensive electronic industry as well as Agder University as close
partners.
The wireless Curvus System can detect arrhythmias
where ordinary Holter recorders never would detect
it. This 12 year old football player from the southern
part of Norway is the best proof of this.
