  • We’re so excited to recognize Jules Perry for our Employee Spotlight this month. As a Houston based Territory Manager, Jules goes above and beyond to support our patients. We asked for what motivates her and drives her success. Why is working at Element meaningful to you? Working at Element Science is meaningful to me because we are directly impacting patient outcomes during one of the most vulnerable periods in their lives. The Jewel Patch WCD provides a bridge of protection for patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest, and being part of that solution gives purpose to the work I do every day. Beyond the product, I take pride in helping build infrastructure, processes, and partnerships that allow us to scale access to this life-saving technology. What do you enjoy most about your role and the work that you do? What I enjoy most is the combination of clinical impact and strategic problem-solving. I’m not just selling a device—I’m working closely with physicians, case management teams, and hospital systems to navigate workflows, improve access, and ensure patients receive timely care. I also enjoy building something from the ground up—whether it’s establishing SOPs, improving ordering processes, or helping integrate into systems like Epic. It’s rewarding to see both immediate patient impact and long-term operational growth.

  • Element Science Founder Uday Kumar, MD presenting ahead of Heart Rhythm Society's annual conference #HRS2026!

    Very excited to give a status update on Element Science, Inc. at the 2026 Stanford Biodesign New Arrhythmia Technologies Retreat in Chicago ahead of the Heart Rhythm Society’s annual conference #HRS2026. As usual, great attendance and a comprehensive survey of new technology developments in the field. Thanks for the invitation, Paul Wang, and for putting on a great conference. Shout out also to Dr. Birgersdotter-Green for her annual update on AEDs and WCDs. Great to see the #Jewel Patch-WCD highlighted as the newest wearable defibrillator now on the market and the only one that can be worn continuously including through showering. Thanks Riki!

  • Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) remains a leading cause of death in the U.S. every year. While Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillators (WCDs) are prescribed for patients, they are only effective if they are actually worn.* The challenge? Traditional garment-based WCDs often create barriers to consistent use due to required daily maintenance and the need for removal during showering. We developed the Jewel Patch WCD to solve this. It is designed for living, providing patients with: • Discreet, continuous protection • Wearable for up to 8 days • Water-Resistant, can be worn while showering *Note: For patients at risk of SCA who are not candidates for or refuse an ICD. At Element Science, we are committed to removing the obstacles to wear to keep patients protected.
