JACC Advances: Automated Detection of HFpEF using AI

Fighting
against failure

HFpEF - a complex form of heart failure - is increasingly prevalent and often goes undiagnosed, progressing silently until patients need emergency care. When the disease takes hold, the prognosis is grim. Patients experience poor quality of life, high symptom burden, and face a median life expectancy. 



The 5-year mortality rate after hospitalization remains unacceptably high (upwards of 50%).1 That's why Ultromics is committed to catching the disease early.

More than 24 million people living with HFpEF worldwide.2
Up to 64% of cases are undetected.3

A new class of heart failure technology

AI-powered
HFpEF detection

Ultromics brings the power of artificial intelligence into your echocardiography workflow using a state-of-the-art platform that supports early heart failure diagnosis. EchoGo Heart Failure unlocks a new pathway for heart failure care, bringing patients closer to a definitive diagnosis, accelerating earlier diagnosis and treatment, and helping to improve the lives of many.

Verified in clinical settings

Our current customers have indicated major improvements in their pain and process while using EchoGo Heart Failure. Our technology is backed by collaborations with industry leading clincians, engineers, and research institutions.

“This novel solution applies AI to cardiovascular imaging to greatly simplify identification of patients with HFpEF, a diagnosis that can be challenging to make, and allow more expeditious treatment.”

Patricia A. Pellikka, MD. , Vice Chair, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Mayo Clinic

Time to focus on HFpEF

Diagnosis is challenging

Currently, diagnosis relies on a combination of symptomatology and echocardiographic evidence and the exclusion of non-cardiac causes of dyspnea according to clinical scores. This complexity is a challenge, and up to 64% of patients are misdiagnosed3, leading to avoidable invasive hemodynamic measurements and missed treatment.

Key issues are preventing progress

Many clinical and echocardiographic variables.
Parameters difficult to obtain and interpret.
Invasive measures often required for accurate values.
Limited clinician and lab time capacity.

Julian, 81, presented symptoms of shortness of breath and oedema, but had undetermined results when his diastolic function was assessed.

His physician ordered EchoGo Heart Failure and identified presence of HFpEF that required urgent treatment. Following this pathway first, Julian’s disease may have been diagnosed years earlier.*

Some of who we work with

Our impact across heart failure

Our platform has been used by hospitals worldwide, including Mayo Clinic, Northwestern and OHSU.
Born at the University of Oxford from leading minds in science, engineering, and AI.
Over $50 million raised with the likes of Blues Ventures, Optum, and Google Ventures.
Partners with The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) in redefining HFpEF classification.

“The FNIH will harness valuable perspectives and expertise of a select number of collaborations, including Ultromics, to alleviate this unmet need and pave the way for better classification and more precise treatment strategies.”

Dr Julie Gerberding , Chief Executive Officer at the FNIH

We are redefining heart failure as we know it

Innovation is at the heart of everything we do

 

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to making heart failure detection easier for providers and prognosis better for patients. Healthcare professionals should receive critical information they need minimizing the added risks and costs of untreated patients or further procedures. Staying true to the standards set by our Oxford University origins, we are partnering with the most trusted and validated medical organizations in the world to improve quality of life and reduce the burden on the healthcare system at large.
