UK health tech firm aiming to reduce hospital readmissions in heart failure patients
Heartfelt Technologies is a UK-based health tech company focused on preventing hospital readmissions for heart failure patients through an innovative, non-contact monitoring device. Their AI-powered system passively scans patients' feet and lower legs to detect early signs of fluid retention, a key indicator of heart failure decompensation. By capturing and analyzing thousands of images daily, the device identifies swelling trends and alerts healthcare providers, enabling early intervention. This hands-free, at-home solution aims to improve patient outcomes and reduce the strain on healthcare systems by detecting symptoms weeks before hospitalization is needed.
