Non-Invasive 3D Heart Mapping Software for Faster Arrhythmia Diagnosis and Treatment

healthPilotedTRL 7

Imagine being able to see the electrical currents of a beating heart in 3D without ever having to put a camera or wire inside the patient. This technology takes simple skin-surface heart readings and turns them into a virtual map that doctors can explore using VR goggles. It's like moving from a flat 2D sketch to a full 3D GPS map of the heart's electrical system.

The business problem

What needed solving

Cardiac arrhythmia diagnosis currently relies on invasive imaging and costly procedures that require long hospital stays. There is a need for a fast, non-invasive, and radiation-free way to map heart activity.

The solution

What was built

A hardware-independent software platform that creates 3D cardiac activation maps from ECG signals, viewable via VR, AR, and holographic projections.

Who can put this to work

Medical Software
SME
Target: Digital Health Solution Provider

If you are a digital health provider dealing with the high cost of invasive cardiac imaging — this project developed a hardware-independent software platform that reconstructs 3D heart maps from ECG signals. This allows for radiation-free diagnostics and faster clinical adoption in hospitals.

Healthcare Providers
mid-size
Target: Private Cardiology Clinic

If you are a clinic dealing with long hospital stays and complex diagnostic procedures for atrial fibrillation — this project developed a VR/AR visualization tool that makes the cardiac ablation process infinitely faster. It enables electrophysiologists to watch the electric impulse throughout the heart in 360 degrees.

Medical Device Manufacturing
enterprise
Target: ECG Hardware Manufacturer

If you are a hardware manufacturer dealing with the need to modernize existing ECG infrastructure — this project developed a software layer compatible with existing hospital ECG systems. This adds high-value 3D mapping capabilities to standard hardware without requiring new equipment purchases.
