Wearlinq has raised $14 million in Series A funding, led by AIX Ventures, with participation from various other investors. Alongside the equity round, the company raised $5 million in venture debt to support its growth.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, claiming one in three lives. Despite the significant human and financial costs, cardiologists still lack a high-quality method for wirelessly monitoring hearts at home or in the hospital. At home, most devices track heart rate rather than the electrical rhythm. Heart rate alone can’t catch many arrhythmias or the subtle changes that signal rising risk. In hospitals, wired telemetry is bulky and brief, and single-lead patches often miss intermittent events. The result is a system where patients take devices off, doctors order repeat tests, and heart disease continues to claim millions more lives.

“WearLinq provides a leap forward, bringing multi-lead, high-fidelity arrhythmia data and near real-time patient data outside of the hospital and clinic. This is the kind of technology that can reshape how we detect arrhythmias and deliver personalized care to patients in the comfort of their own home,” Wearlinq Co-Founder and Stanford electrophysiologist Albert Rogers said.

To solve this, Wearlinq’s eWave is the first continuous, multi-lead (six-lead) ECG in a small, wireless form factor that patients will actually wear. It’s the only continuous cardiac monitor that pairs with the patient’s personal phone, runs for more than five days between charges, and delivers near-real-time data and reports to clinicians. It currently is used to detect arrhythmias but the platform eventually will scale to other clinical indications. Wearlinq’s eWave is 510(k) cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

“Even a 10% reduction in early heart disease death in the U.S. equates to over 100,000 lives saved,” Wearlinq Co-Founder/CEO Konrad Morzkowski stated. “There is no bigger mission for us, and this new funding gives us the ability to scale eWave nationally.”

The company’s complete list of investors includes AIX Ventures, SpringTide, Berkeley Catalyst Fund, Lightscape Partners, Solasta, Alumni Ventures, Amino Capital, Angelschool, LDV Partners, Maliam, XB Ventures, Celtic House Asia Partners Health, Device of Tomorrow Capital, NYX Ventures Partners, and SmartLink Partners.

“The status quo in cardiac monitoring still relies on single-lead patches and delayed insights,” AIX Ventures Partner Krish Ramadurai commented. “Wearlinq brings the world’s first six-lead monitoring technology and an AI stack to the cloud, transforming continuous cardiac signals into actionable diagnoses in near real time. It’s a step-function leap for cardiologists, ushering in a new era of AI-native remote patient monitoring and a future of proactive, life-saving care that we’re proud to support.”

San Francisco-based WearLinq has developed eWave, the first and only six-lead wireless cardiac monitor, a product that is FDA-cleared and used by thousands of patients.
