History
Genesis
Our journey started in 2017. An undiagnosed heart condition had an almost fatal impact on our founder and resulted in him having to turn to engineers working in the medical industry to regain his quality of life.
The solution was the Medtronic Micra - a disruptive technology that had only just been released to the market. The technology monitors his most critical asset and shocks him back into life when he enters a degraded state.
Off the back of this, InterBolt was founded with the single aim of developing disruptive technologies to transform the monitoring of the world’s most critical assets.
