Chris Darland is the president and CEO of Peerbridge Health, where he leads efforts to expand access to hospital-grade cardiac diagnostics beyond traditional care settings. Raised in a family from rural Kentucky, Darland saw firsthand how geography and limited access shape health outcomes, particularly in cardiac care. While consumer wearables increased patient engagement, he recognized a critical gap: the clinically actionable data clinicians rely on remained largely confined to hospitals.
Under his leadership, Peerbridge Health is bringing high-fidelity cardiac monitoring earlier in the patient journey and into everyday settings. The company combines an ultra-low-cost ECG wearable with advanced signal processing to deliver trusted, hospital-grade cardiac data outside the hospital without sacrificing accuracy or clinical reliability.
Darland’s work and perspective on disrupting the U.S. sick care system and expanding access to life-saving cardiac care have been featured in outlets including Healthcare IT News, MedCity News, Nashville Business Journal, and Authority Magazine. He shares professional updates on LinkedIn.

We’ve been thinking about remote patient monitoring (RPM) the wrong way.
Picture this. A patient comes home from the hospital after a cardiac scare. They’ve got a smart scale on their chest, maybe a blood pressure cuff on the counter, and a nurse scheduled to stop by later in the week. The care team, the patient, and the tech are all working together in the hopes that things don’t get worse.
