About Caristo Technologies

Named first of “7 Technologies That Could Change Heart Healthcare Forevermore” by the Robb Report, the CaRi-Heart® technology is Caristo’s flagship offering which aids coronary artery disease diagnosis with improved risk prediction. It applies advanced AI algorithms to routine cardiac CT scans to visualize and quantify coronary inflammation, which is the previously invisible root cause of the disease. Multiple patents underpinning CaRi-Heart technologies have been granted in major jurisdictions around the world. In addition, exceptional validation results showing CaRi-Heart’s ability to aid the prediction of heart attacks have been published in leading medical journals including the Lancet, JACC, European Heart Journal, and Cardiovascular Research.

Caristo recently received FDA approval for its CaRi-Plaque technology. With this FDA approval, hospitals and clinics can now move beyond traditional diagnostics and into truly proactive, personalized heart attack prevention. By identifying both plaque buildup and hidden inflammation, Caristo is giving physicians the tools to catch high-risk patients earlier, tailor treatments more precisely, and ultimately, save more lives. This is a major step toward redefining the standard of cardiac care.
