-
5‑Minute Occlusion Test
- Blood flow is temporarily stopped via a cuff or similar device for five minutes, simulating stress on the endothelium. WIPO
-
Release & Data Recording
- After releasing the cuff, pulse and temperature signals are captured by the sensor, reflecting how the blood vessels respond. WIPO
-
Machine‑Learning Analysis
- These signals feed into a complex ML algorithm that has been trained to recognize patterns linked to endothelial dysfunction, the earliest stage of vascular disease. WIPO
-
Risk Prediction Report
- The system outputs a risk prediction for cardiovascular issues (and potentially diabetes or kidney disease), and generates a report with personalized lifestyle advice.
-
Recommended Environment
- Designed to be used under medical supervision, ideally at facilities. Home use is possible if instructions are strictly followed. WIPO
🌟 Clinical Use & Business Context
- Scale of testing: Clinically validated on over 800 patients and currently in use at hospitals and labs, though it’s not yet commercialized. WIPO
- Pricing model: The device is planned to retail at US $2,250, with an annual subscription of US $10,000, and a per‑test cost of US $8 — making it a cost‑effective alternative to traditional diagnostics. WIPO
