INFRASONIC MONITORING

Problem Statement: By many, cardiac output is the single most important physiologic assessment which can be obtained from a person. However, the current usage rate for cardiac output monitoring is below 1% for those people who can benefit from such monitoring. Current devices are available only in clinical settings and require a clinician on site to perform the measurement. They do not provide portability and ease of use for the general consumer. Moreover their starting price is at $10K. As results heart rate monitoring is very common, but provides nominal cardiac information, which is do not provide good understanding of the individual cardiac system function... Company Goal: Achieve an ease of cardiac monitoring similar to that which has been achieved for serum glucose monitoring. What once was available only in hospital or research settings will be readily available to the entire community at a faction of current hospital devices.
