CardioNet, Inc., a leading global provider of ambulatory cardiac monitoring devices, has expanded its operations into Phoenix.

Headquartered in Conshohocken, Pa., CardioNet is known for its patented technology in cardiac monitoring. The Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry system is the first device to provide real-time ECG monitoring and 24/7/365 analysis and response for patients and their doctors.

The firm’s Phoenix location represents an expansion of the company’s repair and distribution operations and allows CardioNet to better serve West Coast customers.

“Phoenix was the clear choice as the city that offered the economic advantages and the human resources CardioNet needs to continue our growth,” said Randy Thurman, the company’s chairman and CEO. “CardioNet's strategy is to continue to be the leader in bringing wireless healthcare innovation to the patients and physicians who rely upon us. Phoenix will be a great partner in achieving that strategy.”

CardioNet worked with City of Phoenix staff to utilize the recruitment services provided by the Phoenix Workforce Connection to complete their first round of hiring.

"CardioNet's announcement today to expand their operations in Phoenix brings great news of more jobs by an industry leader in healthcare innovation," said Mayor Phil Gordon.  "Phoenix's strategic access to West Coast markets, growing economy and talented workforce make it a great fit for CardioNet."

Additionally, the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, Arizona Department of Commerce and City of Phoenix staff assisted CardioNet with market information, comparative operating analysis and site selection.

“We are pleased CardioNet has expanded into Phoenix,” said Barry Broome, president and CEO of GPEC. “As a top medical device company, their presence strengthens the region’s healthcare industry.”

The CardioNet monitoring system helps the physician to quickly identify and quantify a patient’s cardiac rhythm problems. CardioNet automatically detects and transmits arrhythmic events without any patient interaction - an important advantage since many arrhythmic events are symptom-free.
