Our team will be exhibiting at the Onsite Employee Health & Wellness Centers Conference in Chicago from June 25-26. As healthcare costs escalate, onsite health facilities serve as a powerful strategy for employers to control costs while delivering quality care to employees. And employers are tapping into this trend: according to a joint study by the National Association for Workplace Health Care (NAWHC) and @AlliantIns, 54% of surveyed employers plan on expanding staff or services in their existing worksite health centers.
Our testing seamlessly integrates into existing clinic workflows without any upfront investment. This creates a win-win for employers and their employees, allowing clinics to expand their capabilities for patients without adding operational burden.
Meet with us at the conference to learn how we can implement our solutions into onsite health clinics to improve employee well-being and care.

In cardiovascular care, traditional tools can leave gaps. Conventional risk assessments often rely on proxy markers like cholesterol and blood pressure, while other tools are typically used to evaluate an individual once their disease status is more established. The problem is that coronary heart disease can begin developing earlier, more subtly, and through complex biological processes that may not be fully captured by conventional testing alone.
That gap can create false reassurance.
At Cardio Diagnostics, we believe cardiovascular care should go beyond one-size-fits-all testing. Our AI-driven approach integrates epigenetics and genetics to help deliver more precise insight across the care continuum, from risk stratification to disease detection and management.

Cardiovascular disease does not affect all patients equally, and it is not always recognized equally, either.
According to a 2026 report by @American_Heart, cardiovascular disease accounted for 915,973 deaths in the U.S. in 2023. But a deeper look into the statistics tells a more comprehensive story beyond the number: your geography, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other factors affect your cardiovascular risk.
Rural communities face higher rates of early death from heart disease and stroke (CDC). Low-income populations also face a higher risk of hypertension, a known cardiovascular risk factor (American Heart Association). These effects can be compounded further depending on an individual's race/ethnicity.
Improving outcomes starts with recognizing these patterns. At Cardio Diagnostics, we believe more personalized cardiovascular risk assessment and disease detection can help support earlier action and more equitable care across underrepresented populations.

Smoking is one of the clearest drivers of coronary heart disease, and its effects go far beyond what we may see clinically. Tobacco exposure can alter the biology associated with cardiovascular risk at the epigenetic level.
What makes that especially important is that those changes may not be fixed.
A 2023 study co-authored by Cardio Diagnostics CMO Robert Philibert and CEO Meesha Dogan, used PrecisionCHDTM to examine DNA methylation changes during smoking cessation therapy. After 90 days, 5 of the 6 markers measured by the test showed significant reversion.
That finding adds an important layer to the conversation around smoking and heart health: quitting smoking is not only about reducing future risk. It may also be associated with measurable changes in the biology linked to coronary heart disease.
This World No Tobacco Day feels worth remembering.

A PrecisionCHD™ result is reported as a binary output: CHD signal detected or not detected. This indicates whether a patient’s epigenetic and genetic signals, together, suggest the presence of coronary heart disease at the molecular level
The ordering provider also receives an Actionable Clinical Intelligence™ report that associates the patient’s epigenetic markers to potential biological drivers of disease.
These drivers may include inflammation, cholesterol metabolism, glucose dysregulation, oxidative stress, smoking-related vascular injury, and endothelial dysfunction. This gives providers added context to help personalize prevention and management decisions.

Epigenetics is the science that reveals how lifestyle and environment shape your biology. In cardiovascular disease, genetics accounts for less than 20% of risk, while the rest is influenced by factors beyond inherited DNA code.
By capturing measurable biological changes over time, epigenetics can help reveal clues related to heart disease risk earlier.

Hypertension doesn’t announce its arrival with obvious symptoms. While a person may feel fine, the cardiovascular system is often navigating a high-pressure environment that acts as a silent precursor to heart disease.
Chronic high blood pressure causes arterial wear and forces the heart to overexert. This strain eventually thickens and weakens the heart muscle, directly elevating the risk of heart failure and heart attack.
The scale of hypertension in the United States is a significant clinical challenge:
- Nearly 119 million U.S. adults (about 48%) have high blood pressure.
- Only 1 in 4 of those individuals have the condition under control.
This makes hypertension a leading modifiable driver of heart disease and stroke across the country.
For decades, traditional risk calculators have been the standard for predicting cardiovascular events. However, these tools often fail to capture the full picture; many individuals suffer cardiac events despite appearing "low risk" on paper.
Hypertension is a great example where precision medicine solutions can support early intervention of heart disease. By augmenting a simple blood pressure reading with a patient's unique genetic and epigenetic profile, we can identify and manage cardiovascular risk with greater sensitivity.

Yes. PrecisionCHD™ is designed to detect molecular signals of coronary heart disease in both obstructive and non-obstructive disease. That matters because not all patients with coronary heart disease present with significant blockages on imaging, yet disease may still be present.
This is especially relevant in Ischemia with No Obstructive Coronary Arteries (INOCA), which is more common in women and can be missed by traditional imaging. PrecisionCHD™ can add clarity when symptoms and imaging do not fully align.

Population averages are useful for identifying broad trends, but they do not tell the full story of what is happening internally for an individual patient. Two people can look similar on paper, share traditional risk factors, or even fall into the same “average-risk” category, yet have very different underlying biology and very different trajectories toward disease.
Cardio Diagnostics’ solutions are built on the premise that cardiovascular prevention improves when risk and disease are understood earlier and at the individual level.
By combining genetics, epigenetics, and AI, Cardio Diagnostics is enabling earlier cardiovascular assessments that are more precise and actionable, so prevention can happen before disease becomes destiny.
INOCA (ischemia with no obstructive coronary arteries) is a reminder that ischemia and coronary heart disease can still be present even when an angiogram looks “normal.” Patients can still have real disease, real symptoms, and real risk even when significant plaque is not visible. INOCA matters because these patients are often under-recognized and under-treated, despite evidence that non-obstructive coronary disease is not benign and can still carry meaningful cardiovascular risk.
This is where a more precise view of disease biology matters. PrecisionCHD™ is designed to detect molecular signals associated with coronary heart disease, including presentations that may be missed by traditional imaging alone, helping support clearer insight for detection and management when the clinical picture is more complex.

Cardiovascular care is not a single moment of diagnosis or treatment. It is a continuum. One that begins with understanding risk, continues through earlier identification of disease, and supports more informed management over time.
Yet coronary heart disease often develops silently, and for many patients, the first sign is a major event like a heart attack. Traditional risk factors and symptom-based approaches can leave important gaps in care.
Cardio Diagnostics is working to help close those gaps with blood-based clinical solutions designed to support different points along that journey: Epi+Gen CHD™ for 3-year coronary heart disease event risk assessment, and PrecisionCHD™ for coronary heart disease detection and management.
