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.
