Shape Medical Systems provides a simple six-minute cardiopulmonary exercise test that clinics can use in-house to diagnose the causes of shortness of breath and exercise intolerance. The test uses a small footprint device with a disposable patient interface, and generates reports within minutes without requiring a mask. The company helps doctors streamline diagnosis and optimise therapy for chronic conditions such as pulmonary arterial hypertension, heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Referrals suit clinicians and hospitals looking for diagnostic testing to improve patient outcomes.
