Coala Heart Monitor
An advanced ECG monitor that fits in the palm of your hand.
What is Coala?
Clinically Validated Technology
Coala is a handheld, clinically validated ECG device that delivers a clear reading of heart rhythm in just 60 seconds. Small, simple, and perfect for both clinic and at‑home use, it's designed for real‑world clinical practice.
Accessible Care Everywhere
Whether in your clinic, a community health care, or the patient’s own home, Coala brings diagnostic-quality cardiac monitoring to where it’s needed most, reducing barriers to timely care.
What Does Coala Seek to Solve?
The Challenge
Traditional cardiac monitoring creates dangerous delays and health inequities across New Zealand
Patients often wait 6–12 weeks for a Holter monitor, which only records 24–48 hours of data and frequently misses intermittent arrhythmias like paroxysmal AF. This results in delayed diagnosis, repeat testing, ongoing patient anxiety, mounting pressure on stretched services, and worse outcomes for Māori, Pasifika, and rural communities who face the longest waits
How does Coala Work?
1
Chest-Lead ECG
High resolution, diagnostic quality signal that provides comprehensive cardiac rhythm assessment with exceptional clarity and precision.
2
Thumb-Lead ECG
Specifically optimised for detecting atrial fibrillation with high sensitivity, making it ideal for AF screening and monitoring programmes.
3
Instant AI Analysis
Results delivered to both patients and clinicians in real time, enabling immediate clinical decision making and reducing anxiety.
4
Secure Cloud Platform
Clinicians review results quickly and easily through an intuitive portal, with full data security and seamless integration into clinical workflows.
Coala is Perfect For…
