Nilocas

Detecting coronary artery disease relies upon specialist hospital equipment.

Nilocas AI uses a chest patch to capture the sounds and skin vibrations made by blood flow. Any narrowing or blockage within the arteries will cause turbulence, creating different sounds and vibrations. The machine learning algorithm analyses this data to detect the disease.

Nilocas AI can be used in a GP surgery, which removes almost all the costs associated with current methods. People who need treatment will get seen sooner, healthy patients will be spared months of needless worry, healthcare systems can avoid unnecessary testing, and the data can be used for research to develop better treatments for patients.

The market for a point-of-care coronary artery disease triage device is estimated to be $3bn.
