EU-certified and in the testing phase: The EKG chest strap by 24sens GmbH

A recent article in VN and NEUE Vorarlberger Tageszeitung featured our subsidiary 24sens GmbH – a valuable recognition of our team's dedication.

The long-term EKG chest strap developed by 24sens GmbH, based on textile sensor technology, has received EU-wide certification under the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) – a significant milestone in our commitment to medical technology. The certification covers not only the physical device, but also the associated software.


The product is intended for use primarily in telemedical diagnostics by medical specialists, but it is also suitable for health-conscious individuals, for example in cases of suspected atrial fibrillation, a common cause of stroke.



We are currently in the testing phase: In close collaboration with medical professionals in Vorarlberg, the system is being trialed in real-world settings.

Upon completion of this phase, we hope to conclude partnership agreements with physicians, enabling the medical device to be used more broadly in patient care. A cooperation with UNIQA Vorarlberg is already in place.


The development and certification have been a long journey:
👉 12 years of development
👉 €2.5 million invested in certification alone


We would like to thank the Wirtschaftspresseagentur and the regional media for their coverage – and above all, the dedicated teams at 24sens GmbH and Grabher Group GmbH for their perseverance, innovative spirit, and tireless commitment.
