GrippingHeart© is a platform for heart and circulatory diagnostics based on the mechanical interrelationships of the heart. GrippingHeart makes it possible to calculate and analyze the heart and regulating functions from an individual's circulatory system. Medical applications, such as ultrasound, x-ray, pacemakers can use GrippingHeart technology.

The software is based on the Dynamic Adaptive Piston Pump (DAPP)-technolog which can be used in variable applications to enhance diagnosis and therapy regarding the cardiovascular and circulatory system. Furthermore, it is possible to simulate and analyze the impact of medical and or surgical procedures concerning the heart and circulatory system.

It is now possible to describe the heart and circulatory system with precise values which makes it both easy and cost-efficient to follow up individual and targeted treatments. It is well suited for tele medicine, medical surveillance, personal care and athletics. The company has close collaboration with KI and KTH in Stockholm, Sweden.
