For many people, reaching a clinic is only the first step. Limited tests and distant specialists can leave patients waiting for answers.
0:00Breathlessness. Chest pain. Swollen ankles. Across low- and middle-income countries, the warning signs of heart disease are common. The tests and specialists to explain them are not. Heart disease is the world’s leading cause of death—nearly 20 million lives in 2022. More than three in four of those deaths are in low- and middle-income countries. Many patients do reach a clinic. But with one scan machine and a specialist hours away, everyone waits in the same line, and the sickest are often seen too late.
0:49That is the idea behind HeartLINK+, a decentralized approach to cardiac care, connecting local teams, the right tests, and specialist expertise around each patient.
1:01In Ghana, Ama comes to her local clinic short of breath. A nurse records her symptoms, vitals, and risk factors, and listens with an AI-enabled stethoscope.
1:13A risk-based triage approach guides each patient’s next step. Low-risk patients continue care locally. Intermediate-risk patients receive targeted tests. High-risk patients receive advanced testing and priority specialist review, directing scarce resources where they are needed most.
1:33Ama has an ECG and heart scan nearby, with a cardiologist reviewing the results remotely and advising her local team.
1:42She starts treatment locally. The team arranges specialist care when needed and follows up until she receives it. Behind every heartbeat is a person, a family, a future. Every heart deserves access to care. HeartLINK+. Connecting expertise, bringing heart care closer to home.
