Bodyport is a verifiable, high-utility medical technology company with FDA 510(k) clearance for its Cardiac Scale and over $15M in funding. While the project submission itself contained low-quality, exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), independent verification confirms significant technical innovation and partnerships with major health systems. The project addresses a critical problem (heart failure monitoring) with a novel, non-invasive hardware solution.

Description
Our mission is to eliminate the leading cause of death worldwide - heart disease. We are bridging the gap between hospital grade medical devices and the health tools presently available in the home. Our first product uses a novel sensor technology to rapidly screen for the major risk factors of heart disease in under fifteen seconds. The clinical grade data measured by our system fuels algorithms aimed at predicting and preventing the onset of cardiovascular disease.\n\nChronic disease accounts for over 80% of all healthcare spending. Body weight and cardiovascular health are key indicators in the onset and progression of the leading causes of preventable illness: heart disease and diabetes. Having worked at a large resuscitation company, we’ve seen firsthand the outcome when these conditions are left unmonitored.
