Coracare is suitable for anyone with a heart condition. The silicon slab is small and lightweight, very easy to put on. It is not cumbersome at all so you can go on with your daily activities as normal. The only maintenance involved is changing the battery once a month which can easily be done during a TV advert.

The battery lasts about a month if you use non-rechargeable ones and lasts around two weeks if you have decided to use our rechargeable batteries.

The batteries in the CX50 are coin cell batteries and the name is etched on them. They are either the rechargeable GP320BVH or the non-rechargeable CR2477.

Unfortunately, for the time being we only provide services in the UK. However, we hope to expand our services worldwide in the future.
