Our work has been central to the discoveries of vital treatments that are changing the fight against heart disease. But cardiovascular disease still kills around one in four people in the Channel Islands and across the UK, stealing them away from their families and loved ones. From babies born with life threatening heart problems, to the many mums, dads and grandparents who survive a heart attack and endure the daily battles of heart failure. We work closely with the Jersey cardiac team to ensure local BHF nurses receive the latest training, support and research findings through our dedicated BHF Alliance scheme. Join our fight for every heartbeat in the Channel Islands. Every pound raised, minute of your time and donation will help make a difference to people’s lives.

Cardiocity are a UK based Medical Device Engineering company. Accredited to ISO13485/9001 we are certified to manufacture and design new medical devices. Cardiocity were formed to change the way people interact with Medical Devices. Coming from a Formula1 background, the engineers behind Cardiocity transfered the telemetry skills and knowledge from monitoring the world’s highest performance vehicles to understanding how “human telemetry” might enable people to manage their health better. Understanding that people currently don’t like interacting with medical devices has led the company to use design innovation to engineer new solutions to the patient interface for medical devices. The development of the award wining RhythmPad product was focused entirely on the patient and a hand placement interaction of no more than 30 seconds. Cardiocity believe that if we can engineer products to work with people’s hands, then there are considerable benefits to understanding a subjects physiology. Cardiocity will be attending the Rossborough Healthcare Free Health Check Event in June to assist in the establishment of people’s cardiac rhythm and to help develop the next chapter of Blood Pressure sensing.
