The Award Highlights
The company’s groundbreaking work focuses on the digitization of "auscultation" through its developed medical device, the "Cardio-EGG." This innovative technology aims to facilitate non-invasive, rapid, and cost-effective screening for cardiovascular diseases.

The Cardio-EGG device received regulatory approval in 2022, marking a significant step in its journey toward widespread use. Furthermore, the development of the general-purpose acoustic measuring program, known as the "Digital Biomarker DNP-HF," is expected to gain regulatory approval in 2025, positioning AMI for further advancements in software as a medical device (SaMD).
