From a personal loss to a shared mission.
From a personal loss to a shared mission.
CardioLink™ began at Stevens Institute of Technology, where our team set out to rethink what happens after a heart failure patient leaves the hospital. The project was inspired by personal experiences within our own families, watching loved ones return to the hospital with little warning or coordination between care teams.
Those moments exposed a gap in cardiac care. Hospitals had the data, patients had the symptoms, but no one had a clear picture that connected the two. What started as a student prototype to help patients manage recovery at home grew into a vision to help clinicians see the full story of a patient’s health in real time.
Today, CardioLink is developing an AI-enabled cardiac triage and decision-support platform that unites patient data, clinical insight, and care coordination. Our mission remains the same: to make post-hospital care more connected, more human, and more intelligent.
From prototype to platform.
From prototype to platform.
Rather than building another app or wearable, our team imagined something patients could live with—a tabletop companion that fit naturally into the home. The goal was to make it easier to collect vital data, follow treatment plans, and help clinicians see when something was wrong.
That concept became our first working prototype, shaped with guidance from clinical advisors and feedback from real providers. Through testing, we discovered that the true value wasn’t in the device itself, but in the intelligence behind it.
CardioLink has since evolved into a connected platform that brings together data from home devices, clinical records, and patient input to give care teams a clearer and more timely view of recovery.

In 2025, CardioLink™ earned national recognition for innovation in cardiac care. The team won first place in the 10th Ansary Entrepreneurship Competition, named the most promising student-led venture in health innovation, and received a $10,000 grant to advance development.
Later that year, CardioLink was honored with the NIH VentureWell DEBUT Challenge National Institute on Aging Prize for its potential to improve outcomes for older adults living with heart failure.
These milestones helped transform early validation into momentum, funding the formation of our company, supporting IP protection, and laying the foundation for clinical collaboration.
More than a student project.

CardioLink™ is now a growing startup dedicated to transforming how heart failure is managed at home and within hospital networks. Our focus is clear: reduce readmissions, improve outcomes, and support the people who need it most.
Our mission is simple. Make post-hospital care simpler, smarter, and safer for patients and clinicians alike.
Because heart failure doesn’t wait, and neither should care.
