While major advances are being made in prevention of cardiovascular disease and
stroke, which affects nearly 50% of adults in the U.S., experts urge new
solutions to put these innovations in the hands of Americans and apply them to
their daily habits. The American Heart Association Center for Health Technology
& Innovation named Powerful Medical of New York the overall winner of its annual
Health Tech Competition during Scientific Sessions 2024, as well as the winner
of the Science subcategory. HekaHeart of San Mateo, California, was named the
winner of the Business category.

The annual Health Tech Competition offers a live forum for health care
technology start-up companies to showcase innovative solutions for treating and
preventing cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Winning ideas involve, engage or
support patient treatment and solve a pervasive problem in antithrombotic,
coronary artery disease/acute coronary syndrome, cardiovascular kidney metabolic
syndrome, cardiometabolic, electrophysiology, heart failure, hypertension,
imaging, lipids, resuscitation, stroke, surgery or vascular medicine. The Health
Tech Competition is supported financially by the Laerdal Million Lives Fund and
produced by the AHA.

The 2024 winner of the Health Tech Competition, Powerful Medical, seeks to
augment physicians and care teams in diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular
diseases using AI tools.

“At the moment, our focus is heart attack diagnostics as the number one killer,
but it’s just a start for us,” said Martin Herman, Powerful Medical CEO.

This innovative technology was selected as the winner based on the validity of
the working prototype, scientific rigor and potential impact on patient
outcomes.

Finalists offered solutions featuring novel technological solutions to
cardiovascular health issues such as heart failure, pulmonary embolism, and
others. Powerful Medical was chosen as the winner based on their potential
health impact, business and technology promise and scientific evidence as judged
by panels of AHA volunteers, industry experts and scientific community.  

A panel of expert volunteer judges also selected HekaHeart as the best business
pitch, opening opportunities for them to connect with scientific and business
leaders after Scientific Sessions. As a guideline-directed medical therapy-led
heart failure clinic focused on optimizing virtual medical visits, HekaHeart
helps cardiology groups and health systems optimize patient outcomes, reduce
clinician burden and improve financial performance through medication
optimization and volume management.

Powerful Medical and HekaHeart will receive membership to the Center for Health
Technology & Innovation Innovators’ Network, a consortium that connects
entrepreneurs, providers, researchers and payers to advance innovation in
cardiovascular and brain health. Innovators' Network members also have the
opportunity to access the association's digital evidence-based scientific
guidelines and clinical recommendations as they develop digital health care
technologies.
