Problem
Cardiovascular diseases often progress silently, with traditional diagnostic methods failing to detect early signs of vascular damage until significant health issues arise. Current methods may not effectively identify individuals who would benefit most from early lifestyle interventions versus those requiring pharmacological support.
Solution
Vasc Risk offers ARTSENS, a non-invasive solution for early detection, prediction, and personalized reversal strategies for cardiovascular well-being. The ARTSENS Plus PWV device measures Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) by analyzing pulse wave information from the carotid and femoral arteries. This AI-powered technology identifies early vascular health markers and cardiovascular phenotypes, facilitating the identification of individuals likely to benefit from lifestyle interventions versus those who require pharmacological support. The system provides a vascular aging score and tracks progress, guiding users with personalized approaches to early screening and rejuvenation through targeted lifestyle changes.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes healthcare professionals and proactive individuals focused on managing cardiovascular health effectively through early detection and personalized interventions.
