About Cardio Diagnostics

Cardio Diagnostics was formed to develop and commercialize clinical tests that leverage artificial intelligence-driven technology to combat cardiovascular disease.

The company is behind PrecisionCHD, the first integrated genetic-epigenetic test for the detection of coronary heart disease (CHD), the most common type of heart disease and the cause of most heart attacks. With the introduction of PrecisionCHD, clinicians are armed with a powerful, scalable and non-invasive alternative that comes in the form of a blood-based test that uses artificial intelligence (AI), along with personalized genetic and epigenetic information, to sensitively detect the presence of CHD.

Cardio Diagnostics has also developed Epi+Gen CHD, a powerful test that predicts the three-year risk for a CHD event, mainly a heart attack. Powered by AI-driven integrated genetics and epigenetics, the tool enables more effective decision-making and earlier interventions.

Cardio Diagnostics is an artificial intelligence-powered precision cardiovascular medicine company that makes cardiovascular disease prevention, detection, and management more accessible, personalized, and precise. The Company was formed to further develop and commercialize clinical tests by leveraging a proprietary Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven Integrated Genetic-Epigenetic Engine ("Core Technology") for cardiovascular disease to become one of the leading medical technology companies for improving prevention, detection, and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
