VentriJect is developing the groundbreaking Seismofit® System, a health solution that uses advanced seismocardiography and an AI algorithm to help healthcare and wellness providers assess cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) accurately and efficiently, without physical exercise.
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), often measured by VO₂max, is a powerful predictor of long-term health and a key indicator of a person's risk for chronic diseases. Unfortunately, current methods for measuring VO₂max are often complex, time-consuming, and require a high-intensity physical effort (e.g., on a treadmill), which makes them inaccessible to many, especially the elderly, those with mobility issues, or patients recovering from illness. This widespread problem affects millions of people globally who could benefit from a simple, accurate, and non-invasive way to assess their fitness levels.
We have developed the Seismofit® System, an award-winning medical device that revolutionizes CRF measurement. Our solution uses advanced seismocardiography—a technology that records the micro-vibrations of the chest caused by heartbeats—in combination with a sophisticated AI algorithm. In under three minutes, our system provides a highly accurate estimate of VO₂max without the need for any physical exercise. This fast, simple, and non-invasive process makes it possible for healthcare and wellness providers to easily integrate CRF assessments into routine check-ups, helping them provide more personalized care and better disease prevention strategies.
The spark for VentriJect was ignited by a clear unmet need in the healthcare industry. We recognized that while VO₂max is a vital health metric, its assesment was limited to specialized settings due to the demanding nature of existing tests. This created a barrier to widespread adoption, preventing countless individuals from understanding and improving their cardiorespiratory health. Our team was motivated to bridge this gap by creating a technology that could democratize access to this critical health data. By making CRF assessments simple and accessible, we are not just building a product; we are empowering healthcare providers and patients to take a proactive approach to health, with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life for millions.
