Breakthrough in Heart Failure Diagnosis Earns Acclaim
Ventric Health’s Vivio System™ has been recognized as the Best Digital/Mobile Health Solution at the Fierce Healthcare Innovation Awards 2023. The accolade was awarded for the device’s non-invasive, rapid, and efficient method of diagnosing heart failure, utilizing state-of-the-art algorithms to assess left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) directly from a mobile device. This technical achievement not only enhances clinical precision but also simplifies the diagnostic process for healthcare providers.
Impacting Patient Care and Healthcare Economics
Sean Brady, co-founder and CEO of Ventric Health, expressed that the innovation behind Vivio System™ is set to revolutionize patient outcomes and streamline healthcare economics. The device, notable for its portability and speed, diagnoses critical heart conditions in less than five minutes, making it an invaluable tool in various care settings. Its deployment could drastically reduce the diagnostic delay for heart failure, which often extends up to 30 months after symptom onset, particularly affecting Medicare patients and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
Recognition and Future Directions
Awarded for its effectiveness and ingenuity, the Vivio System™ also received FDA 510(k) clearance in October 2023, marking it as a significant advancement in heart health technology. The Fierce Healthcare Innovation Awards praised Ventric Health for its transformative approach to medical diagnostics, highlighting its potential to alleviate the financial burden of heart failure, which is expected to cost the U.S. healthcare system $70 billion by 2030. As Ventric Health continues to pioneer developments in cardiovascular healthcare, it aims to further reduce the impact of heart diseases and improve quality of care across the board.
