We saw a steady pace of recovery in registration rates throughout the quarter that exceeded our initial expectations.“Importantly, we believe we continued to penetrate the market and take share as an acute shift away from Holter monitoring took place.  Our digital platform is well suited to deliver services in a virtual environment, with a single-use Zio device and home enrollment capability. We expect it will remain an important component of many of our accounts’ workflows going forward. We also saw significant traction with Zio AT, signaling the increasing value our complete platform solution provides in streamlining workflows across cardiac monitoring needs. “While we are encouraged by our recent rebound, the macro environment remains uncertain and several market factors could result in suppressed demand through the rest of 2020. We are managing our business for the long-term with planned investments to drive growth and profitability and remain as confident as ever in the durability of our business,” concluded King.Second Quarter Financial Results
