Overview
LightHearted AI develops photonics-enabled sensing combined with artificial intelligence to accelerate timely cardiac care. The company describes a technology stack of ultra-fast optical sensors (wearable or portable), edge and cloud analytics, and AI models that analyze optical biomarkers (e.g., blood oxygenation, perfusion, pulse) to detect ischemia, arrhythmias, and other cardiac events in real time. The platform aims to enable pre-hospital and in-hospital triage, continuous remote monitoring, and integration with clinical workflows to shorten decision-to-treatment times. The site emphasizes challenges such as validation, interoperability, privacy, and equitable deployment. (Not found: explicit product packaging, SDK/APIs, or platform-specific technical details.)
Key Features
Photonics-based sensing
Uses optical sensors and photonics techniques (near-infrared spectroscopy, diffuse optical tomography, PPG) to capture high-frequency cardiac-related signals non-invasively.
AI-driven analytics
Machine learning models analyze optical and multimodal signals to detect ischemia, arrhythmias, and early indicators of cardiac distress.
Real-time triage and alerts
System designed to provide rapid, actionable risk scores and alerts for pre-hospital and in-hospital decision support.
Edge and cloud deployment
Supports on-device (edge) processing for low-latency triage and cloud analytics for longitudinal tracking and population health insights.
Wearable and portable device focus
Emphasis on ambulatory and pre-hospital wearables or portable sensors for continuous monitoring beyond hospital walls.
Interoperability and workflow integration
Marketing mentions integration with EHRs and clinical workflows to transmit alerts to EMS and hospital teams.
