FibriCheck

FibriCheck was founded in 2014 by Lars Grieten, Kobe Leysen, Jo Van der Auwera, and Bieke van Gorp. The company is a digital health company that has developed a smartphone application for the detection of heart rhythm disorders, primarily atrial fibrillation.

The application uses the photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor, which is the light sensor on the back of a smartphone, to measure a user's heart rhythm. Users place their finger on the camera of their smartphone for 60 seconds, and the app measures the rhythm. The results are then analyzed by FibriCheck's medically certified algorithm, and a report is generated for the user and their doctor.

FibriCheck's business model is based on partnerships with healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies. The app is available on a prescription basis, and the company generates revenue through a fee-per-user model. The company serves a wide range of clients, from individual patients to large hospital systems.
