On Demand: Engage with HeartX as an Evaluator or Pilot Site-Webinar Recording

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The webinar introduced HEARTx, a cardiovascular accelerator run by MedAxiom and HTA Health. Speakers Joe Sasson and Jeff Stinson explained that the program identifies promising medtech and healthtech startups, then connects selected companies with hospitals for evaluation, pilots, or clinical trials. HEARTx is notable for guaranteeing hospital pilot opportunities, which helps startups gain access to real clinical settings. The program reviews about 100 applications annually, narrows them to 10–12 presentations for member judges, and ultimately selects around five companies for deeper engagement. Examples included MediWell’s retinal imaging for heart-risk screening and Coristo’s software for visualizing coronary plaque and inflammation from CCTA scans. Participation is free, with no financial exchange between companies and sites. Interested organizations can volunteer as judges, join calls, or potentially run pilots by emailing the contacts provided.
