Brief Description of Role: Rosario is the technical genius behind Qardio’s revolutionary health monitoring devices. His daily job is to disrupt and innovate the industry by redefining the way people look after their personal health.
Industry Accomplishments/Proudest Achievements: We turned a back-of-an-envelope idea into an award-winning product in two years. We have worked extraordinary hours to connect design and engineering specialists spread across the world, to weave all the threads together with endless fine-tuning, rethinking, reimagining. In three years we have become a serious contender in the personal health space, rapidly achieving FDA approval, winning multiple awards in various categories, filing many patents. Three years, three products: QardioArm, QardioBase and QardioCore. We were two industry outsiders who dared to dream, and then held our nerve. If nothing else, I’m proud simply of that.
Awards: QardioCore, the first truly personal EKG/ECG monitor, is the winner of 2015 International CES Innovation Awards in two categories, and both QardioCore and QardioArm are of the prestigious Red Dot Award for Product Design.
