Who We Are
CoraVie Medical is an early stage medical device company transforming the way blood pressure is monitored for the millions of people with uncontrolled hypertension who are at a significant risk of an adverse event such as kidney failure, stroke or heart failure.
The Challenge
Accurate and reliable out-of-office blood pressure readings are needed to properly inform clinical decisions and streamline care delivery for the highest-risk uncontrolled hypertension patients. But the current approaches to capture out-of-office blood pressure are inadequate due to measurement technique errors, White Coat Effect, Masked Hypertension, inaccurate, non-standard, and non-calibrated self-blood pressure monitors. A 2021 study conducted in Australia found that nearly 90% of BP monitors available for web purchase are non-standard and inaccurate (i). And the ability to obtain reliable out-of-office readings is worsened by irregular patient compliance to monitoring, largely due to the asymptomatic nature of the disease and inconvenience of measuring. Given these challenges, physicians specializing in hypertension, and healthcare staff spend an inordinate amount of time and resources attempting to obtain and interpret out-of-office BP data to paint a profile that can inform clinical decisions.
A new paradigm for monitoring blood pressure is needed. One that can bring awareness to cardiovascular risk sooner, enable earlier cost-effective interventions, and prevent the potential for a future costly and catastrophic event.
Our Solution
CoraVie Medical’s device will be the first to provide early actionable insights to enable cost-effective interventions, motivate behaviors and help get blood pressure in a healthy range.
