CardioMEMS (Atlanta, GA), a graduate of Georgia Tech's ATDC startup accelerator, is pioneering a new class of heart monitoring devices, based on a sensor that measures intracardiac pressure in people who suffer from congestive heart failure. The company completed a successful clinical trial in May of 2010 for its second product, which resulted in a $60 million equity investment and purchase option from St. Jude Medical Inc. (St. Paul, MN).
