# BRIDGE — an agentic member of the cardiology care team

**Bridging hospital-based care (20th-century medicine) with AI-enabled continuous home care (21st-century medicine).**

BRIDGE is an AI platform that bridges care between episodic hospital and clinic visits (20th century medicine) and continuous home-based monitoring (21st century medicine). With an initial focus on high-risk patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases (the top driver of morbidity/mortality and most expensive disease in the United States), the algorithm synthesizes insights from wearables -- such as vitals, weight, and single-lead ECG -- chat-based symptom assessment, and the patient's health record to detect disease earlier, notify the care team, and intervene to prevent hospitalizations and other adverse outcomes. This will result in improved health and lower healthcare costs. 

## The 60-second story

Maria, 67. HFrEF (EF 30%), prior STEMI with an LAD stent, CKD 3a. Discharged 5 days ago after a heart-failure exacerbation; **spironolactone was increased at discharge**. On a Saturday night:

1. **Detect** — A real analysis engine flags her data against her own 90-day baseline: resting HR +6 SD (3-day uptrend), weight +2.7 kg, SpO2 −3, HRV collapsing, and today's single-lead ECG shows a **new peaked T wave** (+0.475 mV vs the median of her prior beats). Five signals, one patient — severity **HIGH**.
2. **Investigate** — The agent pulls her profile, med list, and the computed baseline deltas.
3. **In
