Non-invasive, automated heart health checker for early heart failure and pulmonary hypertension

Who could benefit from this research

What this research studies

This project offers an automated, non-invasive tool that can estimate important heart health metrics without the need for risky catheterization or specialized staff. It seeks to provide results comparable to invasive methods, potentially enabling earlier diagnosis and ongoing monitoring for people with or at risk of heart failure or pulmonary hypertension. The device is designed to be easy to use, potentially expanding access to key diagnostics beyond high-resource centers. Patients may benefit from safer, more affordable testing and closer surveillance of their heart condition as it progresses or responds to treatment.
