Acarix receives initial order from the emerging East African market

Acarix, a leader in acoustic and AI-based cardiac diagnostics, partners with Maeva Health, led by Dr. Peter Svalander, CEO, to launch the CADScor System in Mauritius and further on the expansive East African market with a population exceeding 485 million. As a result of the partnership, Maeva has placed an initial order of several Acarix CADScor Systems for rapid diagnosis of cardiac patients directly at the point of care.

Eastern Africa, including nations in the Indian Ocean, incorporates regions with momentous health challenges. Mauritius has adopted a Health Sector Strategic Plan to reduce preventable and premature morbidity, mortality, and disability by addressing their risk factors, with extra focus on cardiovascular disease. Maeva Health provides access to a complete value chain of integrated health diagnostics for advanced health profiling in these key areas with the goal of improving health and quality of life.

"Our patients seek us out for tailored health assessments and guidance to enhance their well-being and optimize their quality of life," commented Dr. Peter Svalander, CEO of Maeva Health. "Considering the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease in Mauritius, the integration of this pioneering Scandinavian technology into our toolbox empowers us to rule out significant coronary artery concerns efficiently and precisely during the initial diagnostic phase, aligning perfectly with Maeva Health's objectives."

"Our main focus is the US market, but we also understand the needs of diverse global markets and patient demographics that can benefit from the CADScor System," commented Helen Ljungdahl Round, Acarix's President and CEO. "One of our strategic initiatives is to provide access to the CADScor System for various patient populations and healthcare systems to ensure equitable healthcare for those who require it. Through our partnership with Maeva Health, we're leveraging the CADScor System's innovation to address early cardiovascular disease assessment among populations in developing countries.”
