Approved Telemetry Partners
Who builds the hardware that makes the WCM possible?
The WCM relies on clinical-grade hardware partners. Because billions of dollars in prize money and sponsorships rely on data accuracy down to the micro-siemens, only the absolute highest tier of biomedical engineering firms are permitted to supply the circuit. The ICMA operates a strict multi-vendor policy to prevent monopolies.
