How an AI-powered health platform is combining connected devices, clinical expertise and personalized technology to help people better understand cardiovascular health
Heart health is one of the areas where technology can have a direct impact on everyday life. Hello Heart is building its platform around that idea, combining artificial intelligence, connected devices, behavioral science and clinical expertise to help people better understand and manage cardiovascular risk.
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Menlo Park, California, Hello Heart describes itself as an AI company focused specifically on preventive heart health. The company was co-founded by Maayan Cohen, who serves as CEO. It also has offices in New York, Austin and Tel Aviv.
Turning Health Data Into Action
A major part of Hello Heart's approach is making health information easier for people to understand and act on.
The platform combines a connected blood pressure monitor with a mobile application that allows users to track their readings over time. Rather than simply displaying numbers, the system is designed to provide personalized guidance and help users recognize patterns in their cardiovascular health.
The company works primarily through employers, health plans, public-sector organizations and other benefit providers, giving eligible members access to its heart health tools. Hello Heart says it currently serves more than 150 employers and health plan partners.
Bringing AI Into Cardiovascular Care
Artificial intelligence has become an increasingly important part of Hello Heart's technology.
One of its most visible AI features is Nia, an AI heart health assistant introduced in 2025. Nia is designed to answer common heart health questions, provide personalized support and help users better understand medications and healthy behaviors.
The company says Nia is built around clinical guidelines and defined safety boundaries rather than unrestricted AI-generated medical advice. Hello Heart's responsible AI architecture separates conversational AI from clinical reasoning, with predefined workflows and clinical oversight guiding health-related recommendations.
This distinction is important in healthcare. Instead of positioning AI as a replacement for doctors, Hello Heart presents its technology as a support layer that can help people between clinical visits while encouraging appropriate interaction with healthcare professionals.
Technology Designed Around Prevention
Hello Heart's platform also uses AI to identify patterns that may require additional attention. According to the company, its technology can flag patterns such as repeated elevated blood pressure readings, medication adherence issues and other cardiovascular risk indicators.
The company says its connected blood pressure monitor is FDA-cleared as a Class II medical device. The Hello Heart app itself is not FDA-approved, and the company states that the platform is designed to work alongside a person's doctor rather than replace clinical care.
The broader goal is prevention. By helping people monitor their health consistently and understand changes earlier, Hello Heart aims to make cardiovascular care more proactive rather than waiting until a serious health event occurs.
Evidence and Expansion
Hello Heart has increasingly focused on clinical evidence as it expands its technology.
The company's platform has been evaluated in peer-reviewed research, including studies published in journals such as JAMA Network Open, the Journal of the American Heart Association and Value in Health. The company also announced research in August 2026 examining healthcare costs and hospital utilization among people with heart failure.
Hello Heart has also expanded its presence across the healthcare ecosystem. Its current relationships and programs include the American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association Innovators' Network and CVS Health's Point Solutions Management program.
Building a More Personalized Health Experience
The evolution of Hello Heart reflects a broader shift in digital health. The opportunity is no longer simply to collect health data, but to turn that information into something people can understand and use.
By combining connected hardware, artificial intelligence, behavioral science and clinical expertise, Hello Heart is developing a technology-driven approach to cardiovascular health that puts continuous monitoring and personalized support at the center of the experience.
As AI becomes increasingly integrated into healthcare, companies like Hello Heart demonstrate how specialized AI systems can be designed around a specific health problem rather than attempting to solve healthcare in general.
