Our take
Element Science is a medical device company developing wearable solutions for patients with cardiovascular diseases. Through the use of machine learning algorithms, Element Science's wearable devices are able to both detect and treat lethal heart rhythms that can lead to sudden cardiac death.
The company's flagship product - which was funded by Google Ventures and Third Rock Ventures - is a wearable defibrillator called Jewel. In addition to Jewel, Element Science is also developing other wearable solutions, including a wearable patch that has the ability to monitor heart function and detect potential problems before they become life-threathening.
Since its launch in 2012, Element Science has received significant funding from multiple venture capital firms as well as the National Institute of Health. Furthermore, it received prestigious recognition for its innovative technology, most notably being named a 2021 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum and in 2024 receiving the European Union’s CE mark certification and Great Britain’s UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA). Making a significant impact in the field of cardiovascular medicine, Element Science is committed to continuing to improve upon its research and development efforts.
