Mission & People
Where heart care meets heart science.
Prolaio is the cardiovascular intelligence company — turning continuous, real-world heart data into faster discovery today, and precision care for functional cures tomorrow.
Our Mission
Moving cardiovascular care forward.
Prolaio’s new cardiovascular research ecosystem provides a foundation for continuous, predictive, and shareable real-world heart data to be transformed into clinical intelligence. Our mission is to liberate patients from hospital-based reactive care models and accelerate the therapies of tomorrow.
Our Origin
How we got here.
Prolaio’s intelligence engine has a longer history than the company itself — rooted in decades of monitoring critical systems where detecting subtle change is everything.
Tassos Gianakakos and Jay Edelberg — colleagues from MyoKardia — founded Prolaio as a cardiovascular clinical intelligence company, built on continuous, real-world heart data.
Prolaio acquired technology built on algorithms originally developed to detect early failure signals in jet engines and nuclear power plants. That same predictive science was later adapted for human physiology, evolving into a digital biomarker platform that Prolaio has since grown into its clinical intelligence engine.
Kardigan acquired Prolaio, connecting a cardiovascular drug-development pipeline with one of the largest curated cardiovascular datasets in the industry. Prolaio continues to be offered industry-wide, putting its intelligence engine to work across Kardigan’s three pivotal drug candidate programs.
Prolaio launches the OCORO Heart Study — a national, all-remote observational study sponsored by Prolaio. Using wearable sensors and connected at-home devices, OCORO enrolls U.S. adults living with cardiovascular conditions to capture how heart disease behaves in everyday life and help inform more personalized care.
The FDA clears the prolaio eVO2peak Module — a software-only deep-learning model that estimates peak oxygen consumption from single-lead ECG and triaxial accelerometry. CPET-grade fitness, no exercise protocol required.
Tassos and Jay built both Kardigan and Prolaio with a vision to eventually bring them together — enabling truly personalized cardiovascular therapies targeted to an individual’s disease.
