OXFORD, England, Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Caristo Diagnostics, a global leader in cardiovascular disease diagnostics and risk prediction, has been selected as a quarterfinalist for the prestigious Digital Health Hub Foundation: Digital Health Awards. Caristo was chosen as a quarterfinalist for the Rising Star Provider Diagnostics Category.
This recognition highlights the company’s dedication in creating a new paradigm to prevent heart attacks and fight cardiac disease by uncovering hidden inflammation. The Digital Health Awards honor organizations making strides in improving healthcare efficiency, effectiveness and equity with their digital innovations. As a quarterfinalist, Caristo stands out for its commitment to applying advanced AI technology to cardiovascular disease diagnosis, supporting healthcare professionals to stratify and treat coronary artery disease, the world’s No. 1 killer.
“We are deeply honored to be named a quarterfinalist in the Provider Diagnostics category of the Digital Health Awards,” said Frank Cheng, CEO of Caristo. “This recognition reflects not only our dedication to improving heart health, but the actual positive outcomes our clients have achieved taking advantage of our technologies.”
Out of a substantial pool of over 1,500 submissions, only the most promising 15 quarterfinalists per category, per track have advanced to this stage.
A recent study published in The Lancet (May 29th) revealed that today’s focus on diagnosing and treating obstructive coronary artery disease misses two-thirds of fatal and non-fatal cardiac events. By measuring coronary inflammation, Caristo’s proprietary CaRi-Heart technology is uniquely able to uncover this hidden, but treatable, driver of disease progression.
CaRi-Heart technology is commercially available in the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Australia and is currently seeking US Food & Drug Administration clearance.
“This year has set a new benchmark for excellence, with a remarkable influx of global submissions showcasing groundbreaking innovations in digital health. The level of ingenuity and commitment we’ve seen is truly inspiring. Congratulations to all of our quarterfinalists for their outstanding achievements,” said Mark Goldstein, Chairman of the Digital Health Hub Foundation.
Finalists will be announced September 22, 2024 and the winners will be announced at the Grand Finale taking place at HLTH on October 21, 2024.
