Powerful Medical at AHA 2024: Leading the Way in AI-driven Cardiac Care

Setting the Stage for Innovation at AHA 2024

We are thrilled to announce that Powerful Medical will be attending the American Heart Association (AHA) 2024 Conference, taking place from November 16th 18th, 2024, at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, IL, USA

We are set to make a significant impact with multiple sessions highlighting our cutting-edge innovations in AI-driven cardiovascular care. Our team, alongside experts from Mount Sinai and Washington University Hospital in St. Louis, will present research demonstrating how our technology enhances diagnostic accuracy, enables early diagnosis, and expedites treatment – offering a glimpse into the future of cardiovascular medicine.

Don’t Miss Our Sessions 

On November 18th, Dr. Robert Herman from Powerful Medical will present Deep-learning Assisted ECG-based Emergent Cathlab Activation: First Prospective Implementation of a Smartphone-based System. This moderated digital poster session, part of the ‘’AI in ACS’’ track, will take place at 11:20 AM CST in Zone 4. Dr. Herman will highlight our innovative smartphone-based solution, designed to optimize emergency pathways for chest pain patients.

Advancing Equity in Cardiac Care

On November 16th, Dr. Timea Kisova will present her findings on Female Patients with Occlusive Myocardial Infarction without ST Elevation Experience Longer Delays in Receiving Emergent Reperfusion. Her moderated digital poster presentation is part of the “STEMI: Factors in Outcomes” session, scheduled to begin at 11:40 AM CST in Zone 4. The study highlights the gender disparities in the treatment of myocardial infarctions within the NSTEMI-OMI category, underscoring the urgent need for systemic changes to close these critical gaps, reinforcing our commitment to health equity in cardiac care.

Democratizing Diagnostics: AI Beyond Hospital Walls

Later on November 16th, at 1:10 PM CST, Dr. Anthony Demolder will share insights into our AI-Powered Smartphone Application for Detection of Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction using 12-Lead ECG. His moderated digital poster will be presented at Zone 3 in the session “Out of Office: Health Technology in the Community.” This presentation will highlight how our technology extends beyond hospital settings, making advanced diagnostics accessible in community and remote environments. By democratizing cardiac care and enhancing accessibility, we aim to bridge gaps in health equity and ensure that critical diagnostic tools are available to all, regardless of location or resources.

Independent External Validations of PMcardio 

Real-World Evidence from Leading Institutions

We are proud to showcase independent validation studies of our AI tool, PMcardio (Queen of Hearts), conducted in partnership with our collaborating institutions. On November 18th, Dr. Samantha Harris from Washington University Hospital in St. Louis will present Artificial Intelligence Tool Accurately Predicts Occlusion Myocardial Infarction And May Reduce False-Positive Cath Lab Activations. This moderated digital poster session is part of the “AI in ACS” track and will be held from 11:50 AM CST in Zone 4. Her research demonstrates the efficacy of our AI system in accurately identifying myocardial infarction, potentially reducing unnecessary cath lab activations.

Following that, Dr. James Choi from Mount Sinai Morningside in New York will present a retrospective review titled AI-Enhanced Recognition of Occlusion in Acute Coronary Syndrome (AERO-ACS). His presentation, also in the “AI in ACS” session, will start at 12:00 PM CST at the same location. His work supports the capabilities of our AI tools in improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in acute coronary syndrome.
