Health monitoring made simple
Korion Health is revolutionizing home healthcare with its innovative home health monitoring kit, empowering patients to take control of their health. Their flagship product, an electronic stethoscope paired with a guided interface, enables users to easily collect and understand their heart and lung sounds. With a mission to make healthcare accessible to all, Korion Health is dedicated to breaking down barriers of cost, disability, and distance.
Recognizing that heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, where up to 80% of cases can be prevented through early detection, Korion Health has made at-home screenings a reality. Co-founders Anna Li (CEO) and Akshaya Anand (CTO) showcased their human empowerment-driven vision at the 2024 Hult Prize Global Finals, aiming to democratize healthcare and give people the tools to monitor their heart and lung health from home.
