Sensora™: AI-Powered Heart Health Detection

Revolutionizing cardiac care through intelligent heart monitoring technology that brings the precision of specialized cardiology tools to your primary care visit.

What is Sensora™?

  • Sensora™ is an FDA-cleared AI platform that integrates with advanced digital stethoscopes to help detect early signs of cardiac disease that might otherwise go unnoticed during routine examinations.
  • This breakthrough technology combines the traditional art of listening to your heart with cutting-edge artificial intelligence analysis.

How it Works

  • During your examination, your provider uses a specialized digital stethoscope to capture your heart sounds and electrical activity
  • With just a 15-second recording, Sensora™'s AI algorithm analyzes both heart sounds and ECG patterns simultaneously
  • The technology provides immediate insights about potential cardiac conditions
  • Results help guide decisions about whether further cardiac evaluation is needed

What can Sensora™ Detect?

  • Structural heart murmurs (heart valve problems)
  • Ejection fraction (reduced heart pumping ability)
  • Atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm)
  • Other subtle cardiac abnormalities that traditional exams might miss

The Benefits for You

  • Clinical studies show Sensora™ more than doubles the detection of valvular heart disease compared to traditional methods
  • Earlier identification of heart conditions before symptoms develop
  • Enhanced accuracy in distinguishing between normal and concerning heart findings
  • Better informed decisions about cardiac specialist referrals when needed
  • Peace of mind knowing your heart health is being monitored with the latest technology

DermaSensor: Revolutionary Skin Cancer Detection

We're excited to offer cutting-edge technology that brings enhanced precision to skin cancer screening right to your examination room.

What is DermaSensor?

  • DermaSensor is the first FDA-cleared AI-powered device designed specifically for primary care physicians to detect melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.
  • This wireless, handheld device uses artificial intelligence and light spectroscopy to examine suspicious skin lesions at the cellular level—providing results in just seconds.

How it Works

  • Your provider positions the device against any skin lesion of concern
  • The device fires off a pulse of light and analyzes the spectral information of the backscattered light using an AI-powered algorithm
  • Results appear instantly, helping guide decisions about monitoring or further evaluation
  • The entire process takes less than 30 seconds and is completely painless

The Benefits for You

  • Studies show DermaSensor has a 96% sensitivity for detecting all three common skin cancers
  • Early detection when it matters most
  • Peace of mind with objective, scientific assessment
  • Reduced need for unnecessary procedures when lesions are benign
