CardioWise, Inc. is a cardiac imaging analysis company that simplifies the diagnosis of heart disease, provides access to the diagnosis, and improves standards of cardiac care, while reducing the cost of healthcare. Leveraging its cloud-based, Software as a Service (SaaS) platform technology, CardioWise provides easy to interpret 3D color maps of heart function to cardiologists and patients on any mobile device over a secure portal. There are several major challenges in imaging, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD):• Heart Disease is the leading cause of death in the developed world.• Diagnostic imaging is subject to interpretation, and errors in diagnosis & communication.• There is limited access to images and reports for referring physicians & patients.• Clinical practice guidelines need new metrics.• Healthcare costs are increased since unnecessary procedures are performed.CardioWise quantitative analysis solutions can help to meet these challenges. • Screen high-risk patients for early signs of disease. Global heart function in early stages of disease can appear normal while having areas of damage that can spread if not treated properly. CardioWise analysis can detect these early damaged regions, monitor them closely for onset of irreversible injury and allow timelier surgical referrals.• Simplify diagnosis of CVD by providing heart functional analysis in a 3D graphical format that is understandable to cardiac surgeons, referring physicians & patients.• Provide access to physicians and patients so that cardiologists, referring physicians and patients can make informed decisions about their care.• Improve Standards of Care by introducing regional quantitative analysis of cardiac function that indicates to cardiac surgeons when the intervention needs to take place to prevent onset of serious disease.• Reduce CVD healthcare costs by providing guidance for cardiac surgeons to perform needed procedures & eliminate needless ones.

CardioWise TechnologyCardioWise Cardiac Analysis is a highly accurate mathematical model of the heart that measures strain in 4D and compares it to a strain database of healthy hearts at 15,000 points. Results are displayed on any mobile device in an easy-to-read, quantitative, 3D color model in which blue indicates normal heart function and red indicates abnormal function. CardioWise analysis was developed over 12 years with $16M in funding from the NIH at Washington U. Cardiowise has continued to develop its service through a Seed round of $550k and an NSF SBIR grant of $180k by adding the cloud-based, Software as a Service (SaaS) capability. CardioWise analysis software technology is a platform technology that can be applied to image data from other cardiac imaging modalities that will extend the analysis product to additional market opportunities in the future.

Geoffrey D......, CTO, is a proven executive and healthcare technology innovator with extensive experience in the research and development of imaging solutions for the detection and diagnosis of disease. Geoffrey was able to introduce breakthrough imaging and therapy technologies that transformed the way healthcare is practiced. Geoffrey has guided startups to IPO, and led acquisitions of symbiotic technologies to round out a product portfolio, so as to achieve first-to-market and often market-leading status. He led R2 Technologies a computer-aided image detection, Software as a Service company to a successful exit through the sale of the company to Hologic for $220 M on $45 M in revenues.
Amir P......, Ph.D., is the Chairman of the CardiioWise Scientific Advisory Board. Amir is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences at Emory University School of Medicine. Dr. P...... is a biomedical engineer and CT physicist specializing in cardiovascular imaging, spectral computed tomography, tomographic reconstruction, and artificial intelligence in medical imaging including the use of radiogenomics in cancer. He developed the cardiac CT-based algorithm called SQuEEZ that precisely measures and quantifies heart wall motion, which is the key to diagnosis of patients with cardiovascular disease. His research is focused on bench-to-bedside translation and validation of novel imaging technologies with a special interest in spectral and high-resolution CT. Prior to joining Emory, he led the National Institute of Health photon-counting CT group where he carried out the first clinical studies of photon-counting CT.
