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 managed to create its wearable CardioTag Sensor and develop its Wavesense Platform. The latter allows data to be seen in a clear dashboard and uses Clinical AI to find digital biomarkers for early disease detection. CardioTag received FDA clearance in 2025, paving the way for a wider rollout.
Cardiosense is hitting the ground running and secured 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.
