Problem

Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the world. It is largely preventable by lifestyle changes, but it is challenging to induce healthy behavior changes before a cardiac event occurs.

Solution

Know Your Heart is aimed to increase heart health in communities across America by increasing people’s perceived susceptibility, to get them to change their lifestyle before their first cardiac event. Coronary CT can identify intermediate to high risk, low false positive rate, and is non-invasive. Using existing mobile CT units, the organization proposes to visit low-income communities and screen at-risk individuals for early signs of artery calcification. Additionally, the organization would connect these individuals with resources, healthcare providers, and empowering information to help prevent onset of heart disease.
