About monitoring heart health from home with cardiologist Tomáš Skála
What is the rhythm of the heart, why are arrhythmias a major risk to his health and how to prevent them? Cardiologist Tomáš Skála and I talked about the importance of monitoring the heart’s rhythm and its diseases. We then devoted a large part of the interview to KARDI AI, a company that Tomáš co-founded and where he leads the development of heart rhythm monitors for easier recording of ECGs.

Myself a cardiologist. New heart monitoring app protects against stroke. They developed it in Olomouc
The Olomouc start-up Kardi AI won the national competition for start-up companies. He succeeded with an application that allows you to monitor your heart rhythm from the comfort of your home at the level of professional devices used by doctors.
” The methodology is a huge benefit in the detection of atrial fibrillation and in the diagnosis of paroxysmal arrhythmias and irregular palpitations with a minimal chance of detection during classic ECG monitoring. The automatic evaluation allows me to have a quick overview of the patients’ “arrhythmic” situation at any time, to which I can react immediately. Thanks to the easy collaboration, the confidential relationship with the patients is also significantly strengthened.”

” I liked Kardi Ai mainly because of its quick availability in case of problems and the possibility of detecting arrhythmias that we cannot detect with commonly available monitoring. Thanks to this, we are able to quickly offer optimal treatment after consultation with the patient, but also to rule out the arrhythmogenic cause of other problems.”

” I like to use the Kardi Ai on my patients with unclear palpitations. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation was found in 30% of them, which lead to the performance of radiofrequency ablation. I look forward to cooperation in the future and especially the possibility of detecting other forms of cardiac arrhythmias.”
