Bunkerhill Health

Thank you Jake Fishman for having our CEO Nishith Khandwala on the Cardiac Wire show this week. Watch this episode to learn from Nish about how Bunkerhill Health works with academic AI medical research centers to bring algorithms to the clinic.

We are at #NYValves2024 Today! Stop by the Pavilion Vendor Hall on the 4th floor between 12:30-1:30pm and after 4:30pm to meet Bradley Gordon and hear more about our incidental cardiovascular algorithms!

During the 2024 Stanford AIMI Symposium, Fatima Rodriguez, MD, MPH presented our FDA-cleared AI CAC algorithm for early detection and treatment of heart disease. She highlighted the accuracy of the algorithm at quantifying coronary calcium on non-gated chest CT scans and also shared the results of the AHA Circulation NOTIFY-1 RCT. Led by Alexander Sandhu, this study demonstrated that the CAC algorithm provided a 7x improvement in patient follow-up rates attributable to the use of the algorithm and its associated AI-enabled follow-up workflow.  https://lnkd.in/eEWgKx3F #AIMI24 #AIMI2024 #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #LLMs #AIMISymposium #Medicine #HealthcareInnovation #Innovation #Healthcare #Stanford #MedicalResearch #healthAI #responsibleAI #ResponsibleHealthAI #LLMs

I'm thrilled to share that Felipe Kitamura, MD, PhD will be joining the Bunkerhill Health team! He was one of the first to believe in our vision and we are so grateful to have worked with him over the years during his time at Dasa. We now have the privilege of welcoming him to our team. #aiinhealthcare #radiologyAI #cardiologyai

Why would hospitals not use life-saving medical research that’s already been discovered? Nishith Khandwala faced this shocking reality in 2020 when his father had a heart attack. Despite developing an AI algorithm at Stanford for detecting arterial blockages, he found it wasn't in use - not even at Stanford University itself. This raised a critical question: Why aren't groundbreaking medical algorithms like these in widespread use, even in their own institutions? Bunkerhill Health is Nishith's answer to this glaring gap in innovation and everyday medical practice. They operate on a two-part system: first, they create a consortium of top academic medical centers, fostering collaboration and validation of AI algorithms. Second, they handle the commercial aspects, managing FDA clearance and distributing these validated algorithms to hospitals. Key Highlights: - Bunkerhill Health ensures comprehensive algorithm improvement and validation by connecting AI researchers with a network of hospitals. - Post-FDA clearance, Bunkerhill Health commercializes these algorithms, sharing revenue with both the researchers and contributing hospitals. Their algorithms are already in use by top health systems including Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic. - Bunkerhill Health has established a consortium with top research institutions like Stanford University, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and Harvard University, streamlining AI algorithm development and validation in healthcare. - Bunkerhill Health has raised $30.4M, with key investors including Sequoia Capital, Felicis, Y Combinator, Pacific 8 Ventures, and SciFi VC Follow Founders You Should Know to learn more about interesting companies we’re featuring.

American Heart Association 2023 Willerson Award Winner - Stanford Incidental CAC AI Algorithm RCT Stanford University School of Medicine's Division of Cardiology has won the American Heart Association’s 2023 Willerson Award for the best clinical paper published in AHA Circulation this year.  The award honors Dr. James T Willerson, a former leader within the AHA and Editor-in-Chief of Circulation. https://lnkd.in/gFjficFX The Stanford team studied statin prescription rates for patients receiving non-gated, non-contrast chest CTs with incidental coronary artery calcification in a randomized controlled trial.  The control group was the current standard of care care (qualitative incidental CAC assessment, patient follow up through the ordering physician). The experiment group used the Bunkerhill incidental CAC algorithm (exact Agatston scoring for incidental CAC, automated follow up messaging).  The study showed a statin prescription rate of 6.9% in the control group, compared with 51.2% in the experimental group where the Bunkerhill algorithm was used.
