On 22.09.2022, during the XXVI International Congress of the Polish Cardiac Society in Katowice, a specially appointed PTK Competition Committee recognized the Cardiolens FFR-CT Pro® diagnostic platform as the most innovative product presented at the conference.
This prestigious competition held in the Digital Cardio Arena zone was to select and reward the most innovative ideas, technological discoveries and solutions related to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
Digital Cardio Arena is a zone dedicated primarily to projects in the start-up phase and innovations that are being worked on in medical institutes and universities, as well as solutions already implemented on the market.
From among all submitted projects, three companies were marked out, which wee nominated to the next stage and were invited to present their ideas during the congress.
By the decision of the Competition Committee, the winner was the platform for non-invasive diagnostics of coronary artery disease – Cardiolens FR-CT Pro® developed by the European-based company Hemolens Diagnostics. The system will enable cardiologists to perform an accurate and precise anatomical and functional assessment of the coronary arteries, enabling non-invasive diagnostics in an outpatient setting, reducing the number of invasive procedures and the risk to the patient.
During the ceremonial inauguration of the Congress, the award for Hemolens Diagnostics was received by:
– Kryspin Mirota PhD Eng. – Founder and CSO
– Wojciech Tarnawski PhD Eng. – Founder and CTO
– Michał Stachowiak – Clinical Education Specialist.
Wojciech Jeżewski – Hemolens Diagnostics CEO: We are very pleased with this award. This is another proof that what we do makes great sense and we can have a real impact on reducing invasive procedures in the diagnostics of ischemic heart disease.
Hemolens Diagnostics is a technology company operating in the area of LifeScience and Healthcare. The main profile of the company’s activity is the use of innovative proprietary digital tools to develop and implement the Cardiolens FFR-CT Pro® digital platform for non-invasive diagnostics and monitoring of coronary artery disease. This cutting adge solution has the potential to revolutionize the health system in the diagnostics of ischemic heart disease. The company’s mission is to reduce the number of existing diagnostic methods based on invasive techniques and requiring hospitalization, enabling access to more accurate, safe and patient-friendly methods of diagnostics and treatment.
Intended Use:
Cardiolens FFR-CT Pro is a coronary physiologic simulation software for the clinical quantitative and qualitative analysis of previously acquired Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) and optionally with Continuous Non-invasive Blood Pressure (CNBP) data for assessment of patients with suspected Chronic Coronary Syndromes (CCS). It provides hemodynamic diagnostic factor FFR-CT (Fractional Flow Reserve with Computed Tomography), a mathematically derived quantity, computed from simulated pressure, velocity and blood flow information obtained from a 3D computer model generated from static coronary CT images and optionally from CNBP measurement. The factor FFR-CT at the output of Cardiolens FFR-CT Pro device is intended to support the functional evaluation of coronary artery disease. The Cardiolens FFR-CT Pro outputs are provided to support qualified clinicians to aid in the evaluation and assessment of coronary arteries. The results of Cardiolens FFR-CT Pro are intended to be used by qualified clinicians in conjunction with the patient’s clinical history, symptoms, and other diagnostic tests, as well as the clinician’s professional judgment.
