This episode features Yashar Seyed Vahedein, CEO and Co-founder of Coredio, a company tackling the significant problem of heart failure management. Yashar outlines the immense global and US prevalence of heart failure, the high rates of readmission due to inadequate post-discharge monitoring, and the substantial financial burden this places on hospitals and payers. He highlights the limitations of current standard care (blood pressure cuffs and scales) in providing timely and accurate cardiac insights, contrasting them with the invasiveness and cost of solutions like catheterization and implantable devices.

Coredio's innovative solution is a software platform that leverages existing wearable devices (like smartwatches and blood pressure cuffs) and patented AI and physics-based technology to extract key cardiac metrics comparable to those obtained through invasive procedures. This non-invasive approach aims to improve guideline-directed medication therapy adherence, reduce hospital readmissions and length of stay, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes by providing clinicians with timely data and enabling proactive intervention – all without requiring new devices for patients or hospitals.
