Cardiovascular disease claims a life every 34 seconds in the U.S. alone (CDC), and it is often found only after it has progressed. Every heartbeat leaves subtle vibrations on the body surface, and we are building new ways to read them. We turn ordinary smartphone cameras into contactless sensors that capture heart-induced chest vibrations from video (visionSCG), develop affordable vibration-based tools that address barriers behind cardiovascular health disparities (equiHeart), and build digital twins of the human thorax from CT and MR images that show where these vibrations come from and what they reveal about the heart (twinHeart). We also simulate blood flow in patient-specific arteries to help physicians plan treatments (flowCare). Starting from the heart and extending to breathing and swallowing, we work with clinical and industry partners to bring early, accessible, and personalized care to everyone, at the bedside and at home.
