Speak And Be Saved: App Detects Heart Failure Weeks Before Attack

OurCrowd

By Jeremy Ruden “The puppy sat on the ship.” That was one of five potentially life-saving sentences that heart patients spoke into their smartphones during a US trial for HearO, the groundbreaking app that detects signs of congestive heart failure (CHF) simply by monitoring a person’s voice. Created by startup Cordio Medical, the system’s artificial intelligence algorithms detect voice changes that indicate fluid accumulation in the lungs before any symptoms surface. When changes are noticed, the system alerts the patient’s doctor of an imminent risk that might require medication, IV therapy or hospitalization, allowing intervention before the condition deteriorates. The company is currently raising a funding round via OurCrowd, the Jerusalem-based investment platform that allows accredited investors to access privately held startups. In trials, the HearO app successfully predicted heart failure in 81% of cases, about three weeks before heart failure actually occurs, giving physicians time to intervene and scale back expensive and traumatic hospitalizations. The condition develops when the heart muscle is too weak to pump all the blood the body needs. Fluid builds up in the extremities and lungs as a result. “This approach has the potential to reduce acute decompensated heart failure hospitalizations and improve patient quality of life and economic outcomes,” says William T. Abraham, MD, of Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, who reported the trial findings at the 2023 Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association. The app functions by having patients record a baseline of phrases when their lungs are clear, then repeat them daily so algorithms can detect any changes. Saving lives With over 26 million people in the Western world suffering from CHF, the need to monitor patients is growing quickly. About half are at high risk of a fatal incident within five years of diagnosis. CHF patients generally require timely, personalized medical attention to avoid episodes that demand immediate medical care or hospitalization. Prevalence of CHF in the US alone is projected to increase by nearly 50% by 2030, while direct medical costs – predominantly hospitalization – are forecast to more than double between 2012 and 2030. The annual burden of CHF on the US healthcare system is some $18 billion. “The holy grail” of the heart failure monitoring industry “is to find a solution that will help a patient know in advance when they’re deteriorating so they can change their diuretics and hopefully avoid hospitalization,” says Tamir Tal, CEO of Cordio Medical. In the long run, Cordio plans to use the technology to detect other conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Tal says. The company is initially targeting heart failure, which frequently causes patients to return to the hospital for lengthy, expensive stays. “Speech carries a lot of personal information about us. When you talk to your mom, just one sentence is enough for her to know how you feel,” says Tal. “We might not be giving the same kind of support as a parent, but we are using speech to give the physician something they can objectively use to determine a patient’s medical condition, helping them avoid serious health episodes.” AstraZeneca partnership In the US, Cordio Medical’s DETECT-HF pivotal study is fully operative, with data collected from dozens of patients in 38 centers. As a result of the clinical collaborations with the centers, the company has already received commercial interest from participants. This extensive collaboration with renowned medical centers has the potential to establish a smooth pathway for future commercial traction. Some of the largest US providers and payers are among the members of the pivotal steering committee, a further sign of their faith in HearO’s clinical significance and business potential. In Europe, Cordio found a partner in pharma giant AstraZeneca. In Q3 2023, the two companies began a second pilot program in Spain at the General Hospital of Valencia in conjunction with the Valencian Society of Cardiology. The first ongoing pilot is being conducted at Bellvitge University Hospital. “AstraZeneca is committed to advancing digital tools to diagnose, monitor and treat high-impact pathologies such as heart failure,” says César Velasco, director of Innovation and Digital Strategy at AstraZeneca. “Thanks to the collaboration across Spanish hospitals and health professionals, we are closer to making life-saving digital health tools a reality for millions with chronic diseases. FDA approval The HearO system received a prestigious and coveted Breakthrough Device designation from the FDA, with approval for the CHF indication forecast in Q1 2025, around 6 months after the company is expected to complete and publish the data from the US pilot. In the EU, Cordio obtained the CE certificate for HearO’s software application. The system was also approved by the Israeli Health Ministry. Cordio has several key investors including Peregrin, Ceros, Aegis Capital and Super-Pharm. They are all participating in the company’s current SAFE, which is available to accredited investors via OurCrowd. For more information about investing in Cordio Medical via OurCrowd, click HERE.

2 Million Cancer Diagnoses And 600,000 Cancer Deaths Expected In 2024 – Prevention Is Key To Treatment, And Mainz Biomed Is Leading The Charge

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga The global population is experiencing a scary increase in colorectal cancer, especially among young people. Colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnoses have been steadily rising since the 1990s; in 1995 the proportion of these cancer cases in adults younger than 55 was 11%, and in 2019, the number was 20%. It is recommended that adults start screening for colorectal cancer at age 45 but with the increase in prevalence, the value of early detection cannot be understated. While doctors still aren’t sure of the reason behind this increase, they are urging the public to take these numbers seriously and embrace preventative measures for early detection. Companies like Mainz Biomed (NASDAQ: MYNZ), a company that specializes in developing molecular genetic diagnostic solutions for life-threatening conditions, are leading the charge in helping make that happen. This company has created ColoAlert®, an innovative product that addresses the need for easier and more accessible cancer screenings for quick detection and treatment of colorectal cancer. The non-invasive and user-friendly test aims to make colorectal cancer screening fast, simple and precise. Once launched in the U.S. Mainz Biomed's ColoAlert will compete with Cologuard from Exact Sciences Corporation (NASDAQ: EXAS), a well-established company that commands a market cap of over $10 billion. The key difference between Cologuard and ColoAlert is that ColoAlert requires far less stool collection than its competitor, a testament to ColoAlert’s technology. This not only increases convenience for the patient but also cuts down on shipping costs and lab time. The only other detection model outside of a traditional colonoscopy is a blood-stool test; however, these tests can only detect cancer, not pre-cancerous polyps. Mainz Biomed has partnered with Liquid Biosciences to ensure its cutting-edge products are top-of-the-line. Recently, Mainz Biomed conducted a multi-center international clinical trial in Germany and Norway to evaluate the effectiveness of incorporating mRNA biomarkers into ColoAlert®. The study yielded impressive findings, demonstrating a high sensitivity of 94.4% and specificity of 97.5% for detecting CRC. Additionally, the screening test showed a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 95.2% in detecting precursor lesions, including advanced adenomas that may develop into CRC. In other words, ColoAlert is designed to detect pre-cancerous polyps as well as identify individuals who have colorectal cancer. The CDC reports that colorectal cancer is the second most fatal cancer in the United States and Europe. However, it is also the most preventable, with early detection leading to survival rates above 90%. ColoAlert can be instrumental in preventive care for colorectal cancer. The company reports it has experienced success in Germany, where the product is available through labs, industry partnerships and online for purchase. In 2024, Mainz Biomed is looking to replicate this success in the U.S. and is planning to launch a pivotal trial, seeking FDA approval for its product. If successful, the company will look to partner with a network of labs across the country to increase accessibility to its product with the hope that more Americans will be able to detect pre-cancerous polyps before it is too late. With the American Cancer Society predicting over 600,000 cancer deaths and the equivalent of 5,000 cancer diagnoses each day in 2024, prevention is key to treatment. The preventive healthcare market has gotten a lot of attention in recent years, and it is expected to reach $415 billion by 2031 with a CAGR of 9.7% from 2024 to 2031. Mainz Biomed’s ColoAlert is a great example of the power of technology that can screen for pre-cancerous markers. Mainz Biomed's dedication to pushing the limits of diagnostic technology, enhancing accessibility and its growth trajectory potentially establish it as a formidable presence in the industry, setting it apart from its competitors.

World’s largest radiology AI marketplace CARPL raises $6m to accelerate the adoption of AI in clinical workflows

CARPL

As people live longer and as emphasis on early detection of disease increases, there is a mounting burden on the healthcare services industry globally. This is being especially felt in radiology teams who are witnessing an acute shortage of radiologists. Currently, there are over 200 companies building applications using AI to automate parts of the radiologists’ work to bridge this talent gap. Today CARPL, an enterprise imaging AI marketplace platform, is announcing a $6m funding round to enable healthcare providers to access, assess and integrate these radiology AI applications into their clinical workflows through a single user-interface, single data channel and single procurement system. The seed funding round was led by Stellaris Venture Partners, a leading enterprise software investor, with participation from strategic angel investors* from Novo Holdings, Leapfrog PE, Bain & Co, Boston Consulting Group, UnitedHealth Group among others. CARPL will use the fresh funds to expand the team in North America and continue to build its tech stack. With more than 700 US-FDA approved AI applications, healthcare providers grapple with navigating the complex landscape of niche AI solutions. The daunting task involves determining the best AI solution for them and their patients, then seamlessly integrating it in the radiologists' workflows. This complexity has resulted in the sluggish pace of AI adoption in healthcare. A recent joint statement by the world’s top radiology associations also brings to light the importance of validation, deployment and monitoring of AI while being used in clinical practice. CARPL’s technology platform addresses this need using its proprietary DEV-D framework allowing healthcare providers to first Discover (D), Explore (E) and Validate (V) AI applications from CARPL’s AI marketplace, and subsequently Deploy (D) the most appropriate application across their clinical workflows. CARPL stands out as the only platform in the market with deep AI validation and monitoring capabilities, thereby ensuring safe and seamless AI deployment while upholding patient-centricity at its core. Additionally, CARPL’s universal AI viewer serves as a single user interface for radiologists, enabling them to accept, reject or refine AI outputs, which can subsequently be used to improve the performance of the AI itself. Operational since 2021, CARPL was founded by Vidur Mahajan, a physician with an MBA from the Wharton School of Business who has spent more than 12 years in the diagnostics industry. CARPL’s leadership comprises Dr Vasanth Venugopal as Chief Medical Officer, Rohit Takhar as CTO and most recently Dhruv Sahai as COO. CARPL has also ramped up its advisory team with the appointment of Dr Vijay Rao, SVP of Enterprise Imaging at Jefferson Health and a past-President of the Radiology Society of North America. “Over the past two years, we have onboarded more than 50 AI developers having 100+ AI applications, which made us the largest AI marketplace in terms of number of AI applications offered to customers. We are proud that some of the largest healthcare enterprises in the world have vetted our technology and trust us to be their partner in their AI and automation journeys.” said Dr Vidur Mahajan, CEO of CARPL. Drawing parallels with the lab medicine industry, Vidur Mahajan added: “We are democratizing radiology in the same way that automation and robotics revolutionized lab medicine, where a single pathologist signs out thousands of tests each day. We envision a future where CARPL creates ‘super-radiologists’ - AI-enabled radiologists who are ten times more productive than traditional radiologists.” Vidur Mahajan brings deep domain expertise having previously grown revenue 10x to $20m in 10 years at his family business Mahajan Imaging, a leading radiology service provider. He conceptualized CARPL under the guidance of his father Dr Harsh Mahajan, a pioneer in radiology, while working on validation and deployment of AI at Mahajan Imaging. CARPL comprises a multidisciplinary team with clinicians, scientists, engineers and business experts, all working towards the singular goal of driving exponential health outcomes using the encapsulated value of the entire AI ecosystem with the ultimate aim of ensuring access of quality diagnostics to patients. CARPL has more than 120 papers and conference presentations to its credit, and has coined some seminal concepts in clinical AI such as algorithmic audits, clinical explainability failure and unboxing AI. CARPL’s technology platform is used by the world’s top healthcare organizations like the Singapore Government, Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston), Radiology Partners (Los Angeles), University Hospitals (Cleveland), I-MED Radiology (Australia), Albert Einstein Hospital (São Paulo), Clinton Health Access Initiative, to name a few. CARPL is also creating impact in the public health space by working with the Government of India to enable large scale Tuberculosis Screening Programmes in the most remote regions of the country. As the global disease burden increases, owing to aging populations, early detection of disease and an increase in chronic/lifestyle diseases, the need for radiology services will increase, which increases the need for AI-assistance and automation in the delivery of these services. The global healthcare AI market is expected to cross $170 billion by 2029, of which almost $20 billion will be in the domain of radiology. Today, of the about 700 AI-based applications which are approved by the US-FDA, 80% are related to radiology. This number is expected to grow exponentially as access to training data and computation power becomes cheaper and easier to access. Alok Goyal, Partner at Stellaris Venture Partners commented: “The volume of imaging scans show a steady 9% year-on-year growth, outpacing the growth in the number of radiologists at a mere 1.8%. Bridging this demand gap is a crucial challenge for healthcare providers, and we believe AI will be the key. CARPL's integrated platform, designed for testing, deploying, and monitoring radiology AI applications, is poised to empower healthcare providers by seamlessly integrating AI into their clinical workflows. We are thrilled to join forces with Vidur and his team on this transformative journey.” As it becomes easier to build AI, the number and nature of AI applications used by doctors to deliver healthcare will increase exponentially. A platform approach that builds on connecting these AI developers to healthcare providers is the only way to exponentially improve the access, affordability and quality of care delivered today. CARPL is a new layer in the healthcare CIO’s stack that enables seamless access to the entire AI and analytics ecosystem through a single integrated platform. About CARPL CARPL is democratizing access to high quality healthcare by connecting AI applications and healthcare providers, exponentially improving the access, affordability and quality of medical care.
