Cardio Diagnostics Holdings, Inc. announces a strategic partnership with Navierre, an innovative digital health technology platform which revolutionizes how patients access healthcare and serves as a true health companion for every stage from birth to the golden years with a robust care navigation, wellness, and chronic care management offering.

This collaboration aims to significantly expand access to Cardio Diagnostics' industry-leading, AI-enabled precision cardiovascular diagnostic tests.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death globally, underscoring the critical need for accessible and innovative clinical cardiovascular solutions. Current solutions for assessing the risk for and diagnosing heart disease such as CT imaging are not highly scalable due to the need for specialized infrastructure that is not readily available nationwide, especially in rural America.

In contrast, Cardio Diagnostics’ clinical tests, Epi+Gen CHD and PrecisionCHD, that only require a blood sample that can be collected in provider settings, at-home or via mobile phlebotomy, can be scaled nationwide rapidly with minimal to no infrastructure barriers. By leveraging the rapidly growing telehealth market, Cardio Diagnostics in partnership with Navierre is poised to revolutionize the patient cardiovascular care journey through earlier detection, accessible specialty care, and personalized prevention.

Cardio Diagnostics' suite of AI-driven solutions, including the Epi+Gen CHD and PrecisionCHD tests, leverage cutting-edge epigenetic and genetic science to provide personalized insights into a patient's risk for coronary heart disease or coronary heart disease status. By identifying risk earliery and understanding the drivers of the risk, these tests provide actionable insights so patients and clinicians can take proactive steps towards prevention and management, ultimately improving outcomes and saving lives. Through the Navierre partnership, these transformative tools will now be accessible to a broader audience, breaking down barriers to specialty cardiovascular care.

Starting April 1, 2024, Cardio Diagnostics' precision heart health tests, including its flagship AI-powered epigenetic-genetic cardiovascular risk, detection, and management tests, will be available to thousands of patients and clinicians through Navierre's platform. Navierre-partnered clinicians across the United States can seamlessly order these tests for their patients, and consumers can easily register for a profile on the platform to fill out a health questionnaire and request the clinical test.

"We are thrilled to partner with Navierre to make our industry-leading cardiovascular clinical tests more widely available to patients and clinicians nationwide," said Meesha Dogan, Ph.D., CEO and Co-Founder of Cardio Diagnostics. "Navierre's innovative platform aligns with our mission to transform cardiovascular care through AI-driven precision diagnostics and personalized prevention strategies."

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of digital health solutions, with the CDC reporting that 36% of adults used telehealth services in 2021. According to McKinsey, up to USD 250 billion of U.S. healthcare spending could be virtualized. This represents a significant portion of the healthcare market, estimated to be around 20% of all Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial outpatient, office, and home health expenditures; this partnership positions Cardio Diagnostics at the forefront of this ongoing shift in healthcare delivery.

"Cardio Diagnostics' groundbreaking testing solutions are an exciting addition to our curated list of products and services we offer to our users," said Mustafa Dinani, CEO and Co-Founder of Navierre. "By combining our innovative platform with their AI-driven precision diagnostics, we empower patients and clinicians with the tools they need to identify cardiovascular risk early when it can be most effectively addressed. Together, we are making significant strides in the fight against the world's leading cause of death."

The partnership between Cardio Diagnostics and Navierre represents a significant milestone in the journey to revolutionize cardiovascular care by harnessing the power of AI, precision medicine, and digital health. By making innovative diagnostic tools more accessible and convenient no matter where patients are located, cardiovascular specialty care can be scaled.

The partnership also underscores Cardio Diagnostics' commitment to health equity and access. By leveraging Navierre's digital health platform, the Company aims to bridge the gap in cardiovascular care, particularly for underserved communities and those in remote areas who may face challenges in accessing traditional healthcare services. This collaboration ensures that individuals can receive specialty cardiovascular care regardless of location with the most advanced and personalized diagnostic tools available. Cardio Diagnostics and Navierre are dedicated to creating a future where no one is left behind in the fight against cardiovascular disease.
