Heart Association Honors Health Tech Pioneers Transforming Cardiovascular Care

American Heart Association names PolyVascular and Brainomix winners in 2025 Health Tech Competition for groundbreaking cardiovascular and stroke care innovations.

This development matters because cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, affecting nearly half of American adults despite medical advances. The winning technologies address critical gaps in care delivery - particularly for vulnerable pediatric populations who face repeated traumatic surgeries and stroke patients where timely intervention is crucial. By recognizing and accelerating these innovations through the Association's extensive network, these solutions can reach patients faster, potentially saving lives, reducing healthcare costs, and improving quality of life for millions. The competition's focus on real-world implementation ensures that promising laboratory discoveries actually translate into clinical practice, addressing the longstanding challenge of getting effective treatments to the people who need them most.
