Company Summary

JVPLabs is developing a unique technology that will transform management for patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). In addition to traditional vital signs, our non-invasive solution enables monitoring of internal cardiac pressure via measurement of the Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) height - the cornerstone for management of CHF.
