Cardiogram

Cardiogram is building your personal healthcare assistant, using Deep Learning to turn consumer wearables—like the Apple Watch, Android Wear, and Garmin devices—into continuous health monitors that can be used to not only track sleep and fitness, but may one day prevent a stroke and save your life. We can now detect 4 medical conditions using consumer wearables: Sleep Apnea, High Blood Pressure, Atrial Fibrillation, and even Diabetes. We’ve been running clinical studies with UCSF Cardiology since 2016, have published in JAMA, NIPS, AAAI, and our work has been featured in the WSJ, Wired, CNBC, TechCrunch, and more. You can download the Cardiogram app for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and it works with most consumer wearables in the market. Our mission is to broadly implement preventive medicine in a way that measurably helps people stay healthy or get healthier. By detecting diseases early, we help prevent these diseases from developing into more severe conditions or causing other medical complications. The goal is to reduce undiagnosis rates among prevalent conditions, reduce the likelihood of a condition from getting worse, and ultimately improve population health. We are a startup based in San Francisco, founded by ex-Googlers, Brandon Ballinger and Johnson Hsieh, who’ve worked on Search, Ads, Android, the Google Assistant, and Speech Recognition. Currently, we have a team of 9. We are funded by Andreessen Horowitz, a prominent Silicon Valley VC firm that has made early investments in Facebook, Airbnb, Twitter, Pinterest, Skype, Lyft, Zynga, Groupon, and many others.
