What iRhythm does

Maker of wearable Zio heart-monitoring patches and AI-based analysis services diagnosing cardiac arrhythmias.

Is paid per monitoring service, billed to Medicare and private insurers, so reimbursement rates and coverage matter as much as the devices. Patients wear the patch for about two weeks and mail it back, and the company's analysis and clinician review produce the report.

  • Zio XT patch (long-term ECG monitoring)
  • Zio AT (real-time monitoring)
  • AI-based arrhythmia detection service

  • Wearable ECG patch plus AI analytics…

What could go right

  • Ambulatory cardiac monitoring growth
  • International market expansion

What could go wrong

  • Reimbursement rate pressure
  • Competitive wearable monitoring market

Moat: narrow (data, brand, switching costs). Large proprietary ECG dataset trains its arrhythmia-detection algorithms, and physicians are used to its workflow.
