Additional information

A charity funded collaborative project (Northern Ireland Chest, Heart and Stroke Association) with Queens University (Physiology), Royal Victoria and Antrim Area Hospitals to provide clinical validation of our new defibrillation waveforms for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. We have observed much more successful internal cardioversion in patients with optimal waveforms, especially at very low voltages. Subsequent proof of concept funding (InvestNI PoC108 £97k) to develop low cost implantable defibrillator (PIAD) waveform technology has been patented and licensed to Heartsine Technology Ltd, (www.heartsine.com) a University of Ulster spin out company and inventor of the first AED mobile defibrillator.
