- Ensure compliance with all relevant data privacy and cybersecurity standards
- Mentor and train team members on design techniques, systems architecture, and coding standards
Our take
Very often heart conditions and diseases can go undetected until substantial symptoms come to light. A recent study showed 50% to 80% of all heart attacks are silent. Cardiosense is developing AI powered technology to mine raw biosignals for unprecedented visibility into cardiac function.
In a very short space of time the company created its wearable CardioTag Sensor, developed its Wavesense Platform allowing the data to be seen in a clear dashboard and use Clinical AI to work to find digital biomarkers for early disease detection.
Cardiosense is hitting the ground running securing serious funding, which has allowed the company to grow its team, accelerate product development, and fund an expansive heart failure study. The impressive list of partners backing the company speaks to the excitement around this innovative product.
