Winner of Arvid Carlsson Award by Sahlgrenska Science Park 2022

Motivation:

For turning smartphones into heart failure monitoring devices.

With more than 60 million patients suffering from heart failure globally, the winner of the Arvid Carlsson Award 2022 is addressing a huge health and healthcare problem, by using new technologies to simplify the diagnosis and follow-up care. 

A non-invasive and handheld monitoring device allowing specialised healthcare to be performed remotely, may reduce heart failure re-hospitalization and mortality rates significantly. 

With an entrepreneurial spirit and a true dedication to solve one of the greatest health challenges in society today, the winner enables us to listen to our hearts with AI.
