KIRKLAND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Prevencio, Inc., the leader in artificial intelligence-powered blood tests for cardiovascular disease, today announced that it has been granted patents for its HART CADhs® test in the United States—marking the second U.S. patent for this novel test—as well as the European Union and Japan. These patents protect Prevencio's proprietary methods and algorithms for detecting obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) using a multi-protein, AI-driven blood test platform.
The newly issued patents strengthen Prevencio's intellectual property portfolio and support its long-term strategy to expand HART CADhs adoption globally. HART CADhs is the only blood test that combines multiple cardiac proteins with machine learning to deliver a highly accurate, non-invasive diagnosis of obstructive CAD.
'Securing patent protection in the U.S., Europe, and Japan marks a major step forward in advancing our innovation and market leadership,' said Rhonda Rhyne, Chief Executive Officer of Prevencio. 'These patents reinforce the uniqueness of our HART CADhs test and underscore our commitment to improving cardiovascular diagnostics worldwide.'
Prevencio is redefining the future of cardiovascular diagnostics. With two marketed, AI-driven blood tests—HART CADhs and HART CVE—and bolstered by international patent protection, compelling clinical data, reimbursement, and recent FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, Prevencio uniquely delivers a convergence of innovation, validation, and commercial readiness.
'Cardiovascular disease is a global problem. International patent protection will help Prevencio to deliver scalable solutions that meet urgent diagnostic needs in the U.S. as well as global markets,' said James L. Januzzi, MD, a practicing cardiologist at MGH, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Chief Scientific Officer at the Baim Institute for Clinical Research and Principal Investigator for the HART test development and validation.
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide and accounts for more than $318 billion in annual U.S. healthcare costs, nearly 10% of total healthcare spending. Prevencio's HART blood tests are designed to improve accessibility, accuracy, and patient outcomes while reducing costs through earlier, more accessible, and accurate blood diagnostics.
Both HART CADhs and HART CVE, a second AI-driven, multi-protein blood test that assesses a patient's one-year risk of heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular death, are currently available to healthcare providers and for research use.
