Qardio | kwärdeo | was founded to transform the healthcare industry with simpler, smarter and more effective solutions for everyone: patients, doctors and healthcare providers. Lack of modern, powerful yet affordable solutions in personal healthcare inspired Marco Peluso to launch Qardio in 2012 after his father suffered a stroke.

Qardio founders Marco Peluso and Rosario Iannella, close friends and tech devotees since young age, set themselves a mission to revolutionize personal health monitoring by bringing innovative technologies, high-end design and exceptional user experience to the medical industry. In today’s world, one in three adults lives with a chronic heart condition yet previously, there wasn’t an easy, modern solution to monitor heart health without lifestyle compromise. That’s why we built Qardio - to change the future for millions around the world, with longer, healthier lives to enjoy.
