The challenge
Patients are unaware of their structural heart disease until irreversible effects of aortic stenosis occur.
The solution
Screen for structural heart disease on medical imaging and navigate undiagnosed, high-risk patients to the appropriate healthcare professional.
How does it work?
Bunkerhill’s incidental Aortic Valve Calcium (AVC) algorithm runs automatically in the background of all non-gated chest CTs. When the algorithm finds a patient with a high AVC score, Bunkerhill’s software performs an automatic chart review to determine whether the patient is unaware of their cardiovascular disease and suitable for follow-up (e.g., no end-of-life diseases). If the patient passes through that automatic chart review, Bunkerhill automatically notifies the patient, their PCP, and the preventive cardiology clinic for review.
Why does it matter?
Impact echocardiogram screening rates.
Patients deemed at risk of aortic stenosis may undergo an echocardiogram to more definitively assess presence and severity of aortic stenosis.
Impact TAVR rates.
Patients confirmed by echocardiogram to have severe aortic stenosis may undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to restore normal blood flow and improve cardiac output.
Personalize engagement with patients.
At-risk patients can be given automatic notifications and enrolled in workflows for regular follow-up and appropriate evaluation to monitor and manage their conditions.
