Cardiovascular Wellness Reimagined |
The Mission: Democratize cardiovascular wellness
Six million Americans and several times that number worldwide have been diagnosed with Heart Failure. While today’s clinicians have access to a marvelous array of tools, the art and science of the management of Chronic Congestive Heart Failure remains imperfect. Perhaps the best evidence—roughly 30% of patients discharged from a hospital with Heart Failure as their primary diagnosis will be readmitted within thirty days. 50% will be readmitted within six months. While this is a massive financial burden on the healthcare system, it also means the quality of life of these patients is a roller-coaster ride, ending too often in crisis. We’ve managed to extend the life of the patient but are failing to improve their well-being. Significantly, social media, wearable sensors, smartphone apps and artificial intelligence are transforming medicine in ways unimaginable just a few short years ago. Patients now have access to affordable technologies that enable them to capture their health information and engage in new and powerful ways with their clinicians and connected neighbors to take real ownership of their health, fitness and wellness.
Cardiac Profiles, Inc. exists to provide consumers and their clinical partners a simple, affordable platform to enable collaboration toward improved cardiovascular wellness. To that end we have developed the FloWave Mobile, an entirely noninvasive and risk-free means to assess key cardiovascular parameters—in all care settings, hospital-to-home-to-gym. The FloWave’s proprietary multi-parameter Cardiac Profile enables highly targeted therapeutic management. The entire experience occurs in a mobile, secure, cloud-hosted, “big data” ecosystem where every person’s Cardiac Profile enriches the collective knowledge base.
While the FloWave has been clinically validated in trials at several major cardiac transplant centers, we are now beta testing the FloWave Mobile and welcome inquiries from clinicians, chronic disease managers and other stakeholders in the critical care, chronic heart failure and fitness equipment/management communities.

Dr. Sterling began his career as a staff scientist at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics, Frankfurt, Germany. He then served as a research associate at the Stanford University Medical Center in the areas of biophysics, metabolism and toxicity before becoming a project manager and Senior Scientist at Nellcor Inc., where he developed novel sensor systems for near patient blood gas monitoring. Dr. Sterling then became Program Director at Biotrack Inc. in Mountain View, CA, where he directed R&D programs, from inception to instrument and large scale disposables manufacturing. While at Biotrack, he developed minimally invasive diagnostic blood tests for the Red Cross and for the physicians office market. Dr. Sterling was Co-Founder, Chief Scientific Officer, Chairman of the SAB, and Vice President of Research of OptiScan Biomedical, a venture capital funded corporation in Alameda, CA, that develops glucose monitors for the wider diabetes and ICU markets. Dr. Sterling holds over thirty US and International patents. Dr. Sterling received his MS in Chemistry and Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Basel, Switzerland.
