Icentia and the Institut Universitaire de Cardiologie et de Pneumologie de Québec have agreed to collaborate in the testing of an innovative cardiac rhythm recorder.

QUEBEC, July 29, 2012 - Icentia and the Institut Universitaire de Cardiologie et de Pneumologie de Québec (IUCPQ) have agreed to collaborate for the testing of a unique electrocardiography monitoring solution for patients with suspected cardiac arrhythmia. This agreement will allow Icentia to benefit from IUCPQ's expertise during the device's development and will eventually lead to a clinical study to test efficacy.

For Icentia, involving such an important clinical partner at an early stage of a product development is a key element of its strategy. This approach ensures that healthcare institutions are provided with innovative, real-world solutions that are perfectly adapted to their requirements.
