HelpWear
HelpWear is a Toronto-based medical device company building the HeartWatch, a medical-grade ambulatory ECG monitor engineered for extended, continuous wear. Its signature dry-electrode, non-adhesive design avoids the skin irritation that limits traditional adhesive patch monitors, letting patients wear it comfortably for long stretches while it streams clinical-grade heart-rhythm data to physicians. The company targets hard-to-catch conditions like cryptogenic stroke, unexplained syncope and long-term arrhythmia detection, positioning the device as a tool to guide physician decisions and support telemedicine.
