Beyond Diagnosis: Cardio Diagnostics' Actionable Clinical Intelligence Platform Provides Personalized Insights To Help Prevent Heart Attacks

Cardio Diagnostics Holdings, Inc

By Jeremy Golden, Benzinga An artificial intelligence-powered precision cardiovascular medicine company named Cardio Diagnostics (NASDAQ: CDIO) has launched a first-of-its-kind platform called Actionable Clinical Intelligence or ACI, that offers new epigenetic and genetic insights to clinicians prescribing the company’s Epi+Gen CHD and PrecisionCHD tests. Epi+Gen CHD is a powerful test that predicts the three-year risk for a coronary heart disease (CHD) event – a heart attack – and PrecisionCHD is a test for the detection of CHD. These AI-powered integrated genetic-epigenetic clinical tests only require a simple blood draw that can be performed at home or in provider settings without the need to wait weeks or months to get tested. Results from both of these laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) are coupled to the ACI platform. By merging LDT results with a patient’s unique epigenetic and genetic biomarkers and clinical information, ACI can provide deeper and actionable insights to clinicians about factors driving the patient’s CHD. Insights include the relative contribution of each of the patient’s biomarkers to CHD, evidence on the role of these biomarkers in CHD pathogenesis and changes in the measured biomarkers over time in response to lifestyle and therapeutic interventions. With the goal of improving patient outcomes, this evidence-based information is tailored to each patient to help elucidate areas of concern and aid a clinician’s independent assessments. “With ACI, we are expanding the tools available to healthcare providers, enabling them to make personalized, data-driven decisions that are informed by a patient's unique genetic and epigenetic profile,” said Tim Dogan, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer of Cardio Diagnostics. “Empowering clinicians with insights, such as those offered by ACI, furthers our pursuit to help improve patient outcomes towards realizing a future where heart disease can be more effectively prevented, managed, and treated.” In addition to providing deeper insights to providers, ACI also has the potential to benefit employers and health plans. Health plans can leverage personalized insights from ACI to risk stratify and identify individuals in need of additional interventions. These heightened and targeted interventions may serve to reduce costly utilization and avoidable hospitalizations while helping improve chronic care management. This can reduce healthcare costs. For employers, adding the PrecisionCHD and Epi+Gen CHD tests with ACI into employee wellness programs can promote proactive management of factors contributing to CHD, which could improve overall employee health, reduce absenteeism and lower healthcare expenditures. Heart disease imposes significant costs on the U.S. healthcare system and workforce. According to the CDC, heart disease results in $147 billion per year in lost productivity. The condition leads to around 655,000 deaths annually – 1 in 4 of all deaths in the U.S. Given the widespread impact and high costs of heart disease, innovative solutions for prevention and early detection can provide significant value. For example, one study found that Cardio Diagnostics' Epi+Gen CHD test for assessing coronary heart disease risk could reduce costs by up to $42,000 per quality-adjusted life year compared to standard testing. With the ability to identify individuals at risk earlier and enable more personalized treatment plans, the company's epigenetic and genetic testing paired with the Actionable Clinical Intelligence platform aims to help mitigate the effects of heart disease – potentially saving lives and reducing strain on the healthcare system. Widespread adoption of such innovative approaches has the potential to significantly reduce the prevalence and consequences of heart disease nationwide. "Many at risk for or who already have coronary heart disease do not have traditional risk factors, signs, and symptoms,” said Meesha Dogan, Ph.D., CEO and Co-Founder at Cardio Diagnostics. “By harnessing the power of epigenetics, genetics, and AI, we now have the ability to personalize the management and treatment of heart disease at the molecular level, where biology happens. That is the promise of Precision Cardiovascular Medicine." Cardio Diagnostics is an artificial intelligence-powered precision cardiovascular medicine company that makes cardiovascular disease prevention, detection, and management more accessible, personalized, and precise. The Company was formed to further develop and commercialize clinical tests by leveraging a proprietary Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven Integrated Genetic-Epigenetic Engine (“Core Technology”) for cardiovascular disease to become one of the leading medical technology companies for improving prevention, detection, and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

AGC Biologics Announces Plans for New Manufacturing Site in Yokohama Japan

AGC Biologics

AGC Biologics, a leading global Biopharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO), today announced plans to construct a new manufacturing facility at AGC Inc.’s Yokohama Technical Center in Japan. The new site is a part of the CDMO’s strategic growth strategy to create more high-quality pharmaceutical development and manufacturing services in the Asia region that can help meet the global demand for biologics and advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs). The facility is expected to be operational in 2026. The new AGC Biologics Yokohama facility will offer pre-clinical through commercial services for mammalian-based protein biologics, cell therapies and messenger RNA (mRNA). The site will house multiple 2,000L single-use bioreactors and several 4,000L or larger reactors for mammalian cell culture services, making it one of Japan’s largest* sites for mammalian-based manufacturing capacity once complete.

ACCESS Health International

HYDERABAD, INDIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 4 January 2024 - ACCESS Health International, a globally recognized health systems think tank and advisory group, today announced two important leadership transitions. Dr. N. Krishna Reddy, who has been leading the operations as President across Asia, Middle East, and North Africa, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer. Concurrently, the organization welcomes to its Board of Directors, Dr. Sten Vermund, Yale University Anna M.R. Lauder Professor of Public Health and a preeminent figure in pediatric medicine and infectious disease epidemiology. This transition follows the leadership of Dr. William Haseltine, the founder CEO and Chair, who will continue his invaluable contributions as Chair. Dr. Reddy's elevation to CEO marks a significant milestone in his illustrious career in healthcare and in his tenure with ACCESS Health International. As a distinguished senior cardiologist, Dr. Reddy has championed the cause of high-quality healthcare that is both affordable and accessible. His leadership has been instrumental in fostering collaborations, driving innovations, and expanding the organization's footprint across Asia. Notably, he co-founded CARE Hospitals in 1997, a chain of tertiary care establishments spanning six states in India. His entrepreneurial acumen and clinical expertise have been pivotal in shaping ACCESS Health's vision and strategies. "It is an honor to be assigned the new responsibility, more so in the times of emerging health challenges arising from the convergence of global crises. The strong foundation laid over the past 15 years of ACCESS Health will support my efforts to convert the challenges into opportunities and move closer towards our vision," Dr Reddy said on the occasion. Dr. Sten Vermund's appointment to the Board adds a layer of expertise and global perspective. Holding significant roles at the Yale School of Public Health, including his position as President of the Global Virus Network, Dr. Vermund's work has been transformative, especially in resource-limited settings. His groundbreaking research on HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections, and more recently, COVID-19, underscores his commitment to combating infectious diseases. Furthermore, Dr. Vermund's innovative work on HIV-HPV interactions has catalyzed policy changes and inspired global health initiatives, making him an invaluable addition to ACCESS Health International. Dr. Vermund states, "ACCESS Health seeks to build local capacity and innovate in health system effectiveness in the regions of the world that do not have equitable healthcare access. I am most keen to assist in any way that I can as a member of its Board. In 2024 when we see so much strife and environmental threat in our world, the ACCESS mission is as critical as ever." ACCESS Health International Established in 2007 in Hyderabad, India, ACCESS Health International has become a leading organization in health systems research and innovations. As a non-profit organization, ACCESS Health partners with governments, the private sector, and researchers globally. It operates from four global offices in New Delhi, Hyderabad, Singapore, and Dubai, focusing on providing quality and affordable healthcare for all. The organization emphasizes a holistic approach to health systems, covering governance, payers, providers, community, and information systems. Notable initiatives include technical assistance to Indian state governments for the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (Government of India's flagship public health insurance scheme), the Global Learning Collaborative for Health Systems Resilience and the Asia-Pacific Cardiovascular Disease Alliance. Through efforts such as the India Health Systems Collaborative, ACCESS Health promotes knowledge sharing and seeks to enhance healthcare systems globally. With Dr. Reddy at the helm as CEO and Dr. Vermund bringing his extensive expertise to the Board, ACCESS Health International is poised for an era of growth and impact. The organization's commitment to community-centric, inclusive healthcare policies, coupled with its dedication to fostering innovations and collaborations, will solidify its position as a global leader in health systems research, capacity building, advocacy and implementation.
