We exist to build a smarter path to heart scans for all.

More than half a billion people worldwide live with heart disease, and wait times are longer than ever^*

The old way

Limited access
Too few qualified HCPs
Fewer early scans lead to higher acuity
Long wait times to cardiologist action
#1 cause of death
Heart disease costs US ~$240B a year*

The HeartFocus way

Increased access
Any HCP can do heart exams
Proactive scans to triage acuity
(alt. triage acute heart issues)
Lower wait times for cardiologist action
Address society’s #1 cause of death
Reduced social cost and increased quality of life

Using our patented user-friendly software, HeartFocus helps any nurse, PCP, medical doctor, or sonographer perform a heart exam with clinical depth and precision

HeartFocus brings heart scans anywhere, including EMRs, rural settings, at-home visits and retirement homes, for improved care access and comfort.

HeartFocus empowers any HCP to obtain medical-grade images that will later be interpreted by specialists, saving time, money and lives, and certifying quality. The HeartFocus software uses DICOM for secure file transfers between specialists.

Our Partners.

We believe improving cardiac ultrasound access will reduce medical costs.

HeartFocus is AI-powered heart exam software for ultrasound, and can be used with any compatible probe or system. The product is available as an App or SDK, and appropriate for clinics, health systems and learning institutions.

DESKi offers a solid roadmap of must-have AI products.

HeartFocus App

HeartFocus App is offered as a branded software App, with a patented experience that leads the user to obtain the ideal probe movement and diagnostic quality images

The app runs Al models to guide, detect and capture in real time the 10 ultrasound cardiac reference views. Including the parasternal long axis, parasternal short axis at aortic valve, mitral valve, and papillary muscles, apical 5-4-3-2-chamber, subcostal 4-chamber, and inferior vena cava

HeartFocus / HeartFocus Doppler SDK

HeartFocus and HeartFocus Doppler can be made available as branded software development toolkits (SDKs) which can be built into compatible partner cardiac ultrasound systems.

The HeartFocus SDK offers guidance, detection and automatic recording similar to the HeartFocus App.

The HeartFocus Doppler SDK is part of our future pipeline, and will include valve detection to improve and certify the Doppler workflow. Sign up to our newsletter to hear more when this product is ready.

HeartFocus Doppler

HeartFocus Doppler is new for 2025, with all the benefits of HeartFocus, plus new Doppler functionality

Doppler works on top of guidance, to automate Doppler acquisition by identifying in real time the cardiac valves, and provides color Doppler, and M-mode support

HeartFocus for Kids

HeartFocus Kids is part of our future pipeline, and will include all the benefits of HeartFocus, but now customized for younger patients.

The App will include: The unique patented user experience from HeartFocus with all AIs - adapted to and medically cleared for kids too. Sign up to our newsletter to hear more when this product is ready.

Our patented AI is built on a library of more than 1.5 million images, believed to be the largest in the industry

Superior patented ‘wow’ user experience that lets any HCP do a heart exam after only hours of training

Quantified real-time guidance happens inside the ultrasound image, to reduce mental overload, and gives real-time feedback with quality and precision indicators

HeartFocus automatically records the top quality clips of the 10 ultrasound cardiac reference views in real-time

Parasternal long axis, parasternal short axis at aortic valve, mitral valve, and papillary muscles, apical 5-4-3-2-chamber, subcostal 4-chamber, and inferior vena cava

High quality certification improves the cardiac standard and care

Validated internationally through clinical studies

Meet the founders.

HeartFocus is the brainchild of French brothers Bertrand, who holds dual doctorates in medicine and engineering, and Olivier Moal, a Berkeley and EPFL engineering alum.

In San Francisco’s winter of 2014, the brothers devised a ground-breaking imaging algorithm. This venture quickly evolved into a specialized endeavour in medical imaging, fueled by collaborations with Bordeaux’s healthcare and academic institutions.

Moved by cardiology’s pressing challenges, the Moal brothers refined their focus to democratize cardiac ultrasound expertise. Supported by an ambitious team, they developed the HeartFocus solution. This AI guidance technology, born from a blend of innovation, compassion, and international collaboration, is setting a new standard for accessible, advanced cardiac care.
