According to the CEO, Arvind Thiagarajan, 18 million people die worldwide due to various heart-related conditions. His explanation, is that "using a stethoscope, is a dying art" due to the fact that problems don't always arise when one is in the immediate presence of a physician. Furthermore, more thorough technologies, like ECGs are preformed reactively, not proactively. The solution is a [home-monitoring device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patient-monitoring-technology) dubbed the HealthyU, which can track the heartbeat remotely, serving as the "world's first intelligent all-in-one remote patient monitoring device".
