HeartSciences Pumps Life into Assessing Diastolic Dysfunction with New AI Patent
by Lance Murray | Sep 22, 2022
Southlake-based HeartSciences, which closed on a $6.375M IPO in June, applies AI-based technology to an ECG to detect cardiac dysfunction—one of the earliest signs of heart disease. The company says this can't be diagnosed by current conventional ECGs, making its MyoVista Wavelet ECG device a potential game changer.
CEO Andrew Simpson says adding this diagnostic information to an ECG "addresses a significant unmet need in the market with an estimated 100 million-plus ECG tests performed annually in the U.S.A. alone."

Clark was a recent guest on Keurig's "Café Culture" podcast, which explored ideas about creating café culture from the coworking category.
In the podcast, Clark talks about how he founded Common Desk; how he loves it when people walk in off the street mistaking the company's locations for a bar; and how he first discovered the "magic" of having "serendipitous interactions" while coworking.
But two topics jump out of the podcast: why it's important for introverts to be "prodded" into going back to the office, and why companies should look for "culture adds," not "culture fits."
