In EPISODE 171 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER we explore the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) applied to epigenetics to enhance heart health, specifically coronary heart disease, the primary cause of heart attacks. I talk with Meesha Dogan, CEO, Co-Founder, and Director of Cardio Diagnostics, an AI-driven precision cardiovascular medicine company.
Meesha holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering and BSE/MS degrees in Chemical Engineering from the University of Iowa. She has developed her work in artificial intelligence, epigenetics and genetics into building, commercializing and scaling next-generation DNA-based cardiovascular tests. These systems are deployed to better prevent, detect and manage coronary heart disease. By leveraging advanced technologies to look beyond conventional risk factors, Cardio Diagnostics can provide personalized insights into an individual's unique biomarkers, enabling tailored treatment plans and ongoing monitoring of treatment effectiveness.
