MediCardia

MediCardia Health provides a digital health platform focused on cardiovascular care that integrates and analyzes data from various sources to improve patient outcomes and clinic efficiency. The company was founded in 2018 by Dr. Indrajit Choudhuri, a cardiologist and electrical engineer, who developed the initial prototype. The company officially launched in 2020 after securing seed capital.

Dr. Choudhuri's background in both medicine and electrical engineering, with a specialization in digital signal processing and neural networks from Cornell University, informed the creation of a platform to better manage patient data for proactive care. He has over 15 years of experience in cardiovascular clinical operations, value-based care, and health informatics. His work as a cardiac electrophysiologist highlighted the need for a unified system to prevent cardiac events by having more comprehensive patient information.

The company's core product is a cardiology-focused platform that sits on top of existing Electronic Health Records (EHRs). It aggregates data from wearables, home medical devices, implanted cardiac rhythm devices, and clinical/EHR data. The platform, which includes features like the 'HeartChart', presents this information in a singular, visual interface for both clinicians and patients. It aims to automate the chart preparation process, streamline remote patient monitoring (RPM), and facilitate virtual care programs. The system uses machine learning and analytics to identify at-risk patients, provide insights for care optimization, and support value-based care models.

MediCardia Health's business model targets healthcare providers, practices, and hospitals, aiming to help them increase revenue, improve outcomes, and lower operational costs. The company generates revenue through its digital health platform which enhances clinic volumes via automation and remote monitoring capabilities. In October 2021, the company closed a $3 million post-seed funding round with participation from investors including Milwaukee Venture Partners and Northwestern Mutual's Cream City Venture Capital.
