AI-Powered Detection and Care Coordination for Structural Heart Disease
Structural heart conditions like aortic and mitral stenosis affect millions of Americans, yet patients routinely experience years-long delays to diagnosis and treatment.
Azra AI surfaces cardiac findings from echocardiography, CT, and MRI in real time, stratifies acuity, and ensures coordinated follow-through to completed care.
Integrated with leading EHRs.
A Detection and Follow-Through Gap in Structural Heart Disease
Aortic stenosis affects an estimated 2 to 5 percent of U.S. adults, with more than 5 million Americans impacted. Approximately 100,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, yet roughly 50 percent remain undiagnosed at presentation and an estimated 70 percent of patients fall through the cracks in care coordination. The average delay from symptom onset to diagnosis is 2 to 3 years.
Mitral stenosis affects approximately 250,000 Americans, with roughly 25,000 new cases diagnosed annually. An estimated 40 percent are initially misdiagnosed, 60 percent are lost to follow-up, and the average delay to treatment ranges from 1 to 4 years.
The challenge is not clinical awareness. It is the absence of structured infrastructure to ensure detection leads to completed care.
From Imaging to Coordinated Care
Azra applies a structured, six-stage workflow to cardiac stenosis detection and management:
- Imaging Ingestion: Echocardiography, CT, and MRI data are ingested directly from the EHR
- AI Analysis: Real-time detection identifies aortic stenosis and mitral stenosis indicators
- Acuity Stratification: Findings are classified by severity (mild, moderate, severe) to drive prioritization
- Care Coordination: Alerts and worklists route patients to accountable care teams with defined ownership
- MDM Case Review: Multidisciplinary decision-making ensures appropriate intervention planning
- Data and Analytics: Population-level insights and outcomes reporting provide governance visibility
Detection, stratification, coordination, and follow-through operate within a single enterprise workflow.
Beyond Detection: Closing the Loop on Cardiac Care
Identifying a cardiac finding is not the same as ensuring care is completed. Without structured follow-through, referrals are delayed, patients disengage, and intervention windows close.
Azra assigns ownership, tracks progression, escalates when timelines are missed, and measures performance at every stage from detection through completed intervention.
Closed-loop cardiac care coordination replaces reactive referral patterns with structured accountability.
TVT Registry Integration
Azra is expanding its cardiology capabilities to include automated population of STS/TVT registry fields, reducing manual documentation burden and supporting compliance workflows for structural heart programs.
Registry integration ensures clinical coordination and reporting operate within the same infrastructure.
Standardized Across Facilities
Cardiac care coordination often varies by location and team.
- Standardized detection and referral logic
- Unified acuity stratification criteria
- Cross-site KPI alignment
- Timeliness tracking from finding to intervention
- Leakage reduction through structured follow-up
Cardiac care coordination becomes enterprise-managed, not site-dependent.
Governance and Performance Visibility
Leadership gains visibility into time-to-referral, intervention completion rates, acuity distribution, cross-facility performance variation, and capacity and coordination metrics.
Structural heart programs become measurable enterprise assets with defined accountability.
Technology + Clinical Stewardship
Azra partners with cardiology, care coordination, and executive leadership to configure detection criteria, align workflow ownership, establish governance cadence, optimize coordinator capacity, and sustain measurable outcomes.
Technology creates structure. Clinical stewardship sustains performance.
