CPM - What We Measure

HeartForce has developed a unique self-monitoring technology to assess cardiac performance, enabling the early detection of heart disease. Our technology is based on seismocardiograhy and follows a medically-recognized approach to heart-health assessment: the analysis of low-frequency vibrations caused by the contraction and relaxation of the heart as it beats. In accordance with this analysis, a set of indicators were established, defined as Cardiac Performance Metrics. CPM indicates whether a heart is healthy or may be experiencing problems. Among other things, a healthy heart operates on perfect timing at a regular rhythm and with an optimal strength of contraction.  Each of these indicators:

• Timing: "The periodic interval between relaxation and contraction of the heart."
• Rhythm: "The recurring pattern of the heart’s electrical activity and the resulting mechanical response."
• Strength: "The amount of force the heart generates during the contraction period."

require distinct algorithms and AI software to detect the changes in cardiac performance that may suggest heart disease.

By providing simple-to-use heart assessments for everyone, CPM eliminates the need for expensive equipment, technicians or medical interventions.
