Speaking from the Heart. Our Story.
Founder and CEO, Nick Weber
I survived a heart attack in my early-twenties. As a survivor, I know from firsthand experience the emotional, physical, and mental struggles associated with chronic heart disease. I was privileged enough to have the best doctors and physical therapists in the USA rehabilitate me after my heart attack, but I realize that’s not the case for millions of people who have inadequate healthcare coverage.
When I first envisioned Ucardia back in 2013, I wanted to make cardiac rehab more accessible—both in price and in quality—for the average person. The latest developments in medical wearable technology now make it possible for us to provide effective cardiac rehab in a home setting. My team and I are committed to people like you who wake up every morning fighting this disease and refuse to let it win. We want you to know that you’re not alone in your cardiac rehab journey, and we pledge to be there with you every step of the way.
Above all else, we created Ucardia to help fulfill our ultimate mission: for you to live your best and healthiest life.
