HeartX, an Arkansas startup accelerator, has selected four startup healthcare companies to participate in their 2024 cohort. The accelerator is powered by HealthTech Arkansas and MedAxiom with the goal of assisting startups in bringing new cardiovascular technology to market.

The selected companies include:

• Caristo with their Caristo Diagnostics CaRi-Heart® Technology focused on detecting and quantifying hidden coronary inflammation. 
• Haermonics which develops solutions to address bleeding-related post-operative challenges.
•  MultiplaI Health which develops precision diagnostic technologies using RNA-based blood tests and artificial intelligence.
• Peterbridge Health and their Cor technology – a unique ambulatory ECG monitor that combines best-in-class signal fidelity with explainable AI to detect heart failure, determine ejection fraction, diagnose sleep apnea, and identify 31 arrhythmias.

“We are thrilled to welcome this year’s cohort of innovative companies to the HeartX program,” said Jeff Stinson, director of HealthTech Arkansas. “Each of these startups brings groundbreaking technology that has the potential to transform cardiovascular care. Through our unique model, which guarantees pilot projects and clinical trials with leading healthcare providers, we are confident that these companies will make a significant impact in advancing heart health.”
