Women's heart health is at a critical point, and AI is offering new hope. On the latest Disruption Interruption podcast, host Karla Jo Helms is joined by Dino Martis, Co-founder and CEO of Genexia, a HealthTech leader using AI to revolutionize early detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) in women. Martis shares how technology is transforming preventive healthcare.

TAMPA BAY, Fla., Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A century ago, heart disease was largely misunderstood and considered a man's disease, with little known about how it affected women—because nobody thought it did. Recent statistics show that cardiovascular disease (CVD) affects about one in three women in the U.S. and is the leading cause of death, responsible for approximately 500,000 deaths annually. Diagnosis and treatment gaps persist due to women's differing symptoms and their historical underrepresentation in clinical research. (1) Karla Jo Helms (KJ), host of the Disruption Interruption podcast, has an eye-opening conversation with Dino Martis, Co-founder and CEO of Genexia. He explains how the company is implementing explainable AI to address critical health disparities and enhance preventive care. "Our goal is to democratize health care and improve diagnostic accuracy for coronary artery disease among women," says Martis. "By integrating this advanced AI technology into mammograms, we are providing an invaluable service that enhances early detection and potentially saves lives."

Genexia's Innovative Approach to Closing Cardiovascular Diagnosis Gaps
Women often present symptoms of cardiovascular disease differently from men, leading to significant gaps in diagnosis and treatment. A historical lack of female representation in clinical studies compounds this disparity.
Genexia has developed a novel approach that integrates cardiovascular risk assessment with routine mammography screenings to address these challenges. "We are introducing a quantitative cardiovascular risk diagnosis alongside the preventative breast cancer screenings that women already undergo," explains Martis. This approach identifies CAD risk early, offering preventative rather than reactive treatments.

Cost-Effectiveness and Life-Saving Potential of Preventive Cardiovascular Care
Martis also notes the financial benefits of preventive care, both for patients and insurers. "Preventive medicine is much more cost-effective compared to treating advanced heart conditions," he stated. "Early intervention can significantly reduce healthcare costs and improve the quality of life for patients."
This innovative approach is poised to make a substantial impact on women's health, offering a practical and integrated solution to cardiovascular risk assessment. As Martis concludes, "Our goal is to reduce deaths by 50% by catching cardiovascular issues early and changing the clinical pathway for those at risk."
