Hannover Medical School pioneers integration of GE HealthCare and AliveCor technologies to enhance cardiac care

• Hannover Medical School is the first institution to clinically implement the integration of GE HealthCare’s MUSE™ Cardiology Information System with AliveCor’s KardiaMobile® 6L ECG device - marking a major milestone in connected cardiac care.

• The collaboration enables patients to record medical-grade ECGs from home or other remote locations, which are securely and automatically integrated into hospital workflows, aiming to support faster decision-making and continuity of care.

• With atrial fibrillation affecting over 11 million people in Europe¹ and contributing to 8.4 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs)² globally, this innovation expands access to diagnostic data and may help reduce avoidable hospital visits and readmissions.

Hannover, Germany – November 3, 2025 — GE HealthCare (Nasdaq: GEHC) and AliveCor announced the world’s first clinical go-live of the integration between GE HealthCare’s  MUSE™ Cardiology Information System and AliveCor’s KardiaMobile® 6L electrocardiogram (ECG) device at Hannover Medical School (MHH), Germany. The collaboration aims to optimize patient care and reduce hospitalizations linked to cardiac events by expanding care outside the hospital with remote patient monitoring*.

“This is a major step forward in bringing cardiac rhythm care closer to the patient,” said Prof. Dr. David Duncker, Head of Hannover Heart Rhythm Center at Hannover Medical School. “By integrating remote ECG data into our clinical systems, we can improve diagnostic speed, reduce follow-up workload, and enhance coordination of care.”**

Patients can use KardiaMobile 6L to record medical-grade single-lead and six-lead ECGs from home or other remote locations, aiming to reduce the need for in-person hospital or clinic visits³. Through this clinical integration by MHH, these recordings are securely and seamlessly integrated into the hospital’s existing workflow through GE HealthCare’s MUSE Cardiology Information System. MHH physicians are able to access, evaluate, and compare KardiaMobile 6L ECGs and in-hospital and clinic ECGs in near real time***, supporting faster clinical decision-making and continuity of care, while also giving patients peace of mind that their physicians may have the opportunity to review their ECGs promptly.

With MUSE, ECGs acquired using KardiaMobile 6L are automatically routed into the electronic medical record at MHH, eliminating manual data entry and supporting efficiency gains. One study found that using KardiaMobile for remote patient monitoring reduces the need for in-person ECGs and other cardiac assessments, enabling clinicians to deliver care more efficiently without adding to their workload.³

KardiaMobile 6L is clinically validated to detect atrial fibrillation, and other arrhythmias - conditions associated with significant hospitalizations and mortality worldwide. Atrial fibrillation is now the most common sustained⁴ cardiac arrhythmia in Europe, affecting over 11 million people¹ and contributing to 8.4 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) globally.² By enabling patients to capture medical-grade ECGs from home or remote locations, the integration expands access to diagnostic data, supports decentralized care models, and may help reduce avoidable hospital visits.

The collaboration between GE HealthCare, Hannover Medical School and AliveCor underscores a shared commitment to advancing connected, patient-centric cardiac care. By combining mobility, precision, and interoperability, the collaboration helps clinicians deliver more timely, informed, and coordinated care.

“We at GE HealthCare are proud to highlight our collaboration with AliveCor and Medical School Hannover, which exemplifies the power of combining cutting-edge technology with visionary clinical leadership. Together, we are bringing our solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible in healthcare - merging GE HealthCare and AliveCor’s technologies and deep expertise with MHH’s pioneering research and clinical aspirations. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to innovation without limits, delivering meaningful impact for patients, providers, and the future of care,” said Balázs Pozsony, Cardiology General Manager International, GE HealthCare.

“We’re thrilled to join forces with GE HealthCare and Medical School Hannover, blending AI innovation, precision technology, and world-class research to reimagine cardiac care and move healthcare forward,” said Simona Esposito, SVP of Sales, Global Markets at AliveCor. “This partnership is about more than technology - it’s about making a real difference for patients, empowering providers, and expanding diagnostic capabilities across the cardiac care pathways.”
