Through the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Start-Up Challenge and Accelerator, we support startups that aim to improve the lives of older adults, such as HeartScreen Health. HeartScreen Health is developing a smartphone-based tool which allows doctors to listen to patients' heart sounds from anywhere in the world, thereby expanding accessibility to care and increasing the number of screens occurring across the industry. Heart valve disease affects millions of Americans and is more common among older adults, and innovations such as HeartScreen Health make early detection and intervention more accessible for all patients. Since completing the Challenge, HeartScreen Health was selected as a finalist for the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) Healthcare Innovation Challenge and received an AMWAxCEL Fellowship, which offers additional expert support for their startup endeavors. We're excited to continue following their journey as they move towards commercialization.
