ISHI Health has launched virtual heart failure (HF) clinics in California and Arizona, US, expanding access to specialist-driven cardiac care.
The virtual clinic initiative involves partnering with cardiologists to ensure timely access to HF and palliative-care programmes when required.
This programme is powered by HeartInsight AI, which is co-developed with Mayo Clinic Platform, and ISHI's CardioCommand cardiac device-agnostic platform.
It enables earlier HF screening, proactive care-pathway activation, and drops in visits to emergency departments and hospitalisations.
ISHI’s model integrates AI with cardiology, offering a workflow-integrated approach.
The company digitises HF care delivery, transforming traditional, personnel-heavy models into technology-enabled solutions that combine remote monitoring, validated AI and a multidisciplinary virtual care team.
ISHI Health founder and CEO Dr Ajay Srivastava said: “HF remains a devastating diagnosis - nearly 50% of patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction die within five years, and too many HF and cardiometabolic patients still present late, after opportunities to intervene have passed.
“After more than a decade caring for complex HF patients, I saw firsthand how fragmented care is, and how overburdened teams are. ISHI was built to close that gap - combining AI and technology with a specialised virtual care team to deliver proactive, scalable HF care without adding workload for clinicians.”
ISHI incorporates AI-driven screening of HF, guideline-directed medical therapy optimisation algorithms, and a remote cardiac-care team for enhancing clinical outcomes, along with patient experience.
It is structured to align with emerging Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) cardiac payment and care-delivery models, including Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions (ACCESS) and the Ambulatory Specialized Model for HF.
ISHI provides support to health systems, cardiology groups, and risk-bearing entities taking part in alternative payment models, through longitudinal care delivery enabled by technology.
