First-of-A-kind accurate data
and insights.

Hypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular death worldwide, yet current diagnostic methods often fail to provide an accurate blood pressure profile, leading to gaps in care and suboptimal outcomes.

Sonion Health was founded to transform hypertension diagnosis & management using advanced biometric sensing technology, developed with AI.

Our unique solution provides accurate blood pressure data and actionable insights – anytime, anywhere, enabling clinicians to make more informed decisions and improve patient outcomes.

Redefining Hypertension Management through Accurate and Actionable Insights.

Patients are compliant and proactive with continuous ambulatory measurements

Complete patient blood pressure profile for Accurate Hypertension diagnosis

effective medical management

Hypertension is under control

Prevent adverse cardiovascular outcomes
Lower cost and better-quality measurement

Hypertension is often referred to as the “silent killer”.

Hypertension is often called the “silent killer” because it typically presents with no obvious symptoms. It affects approximately 120 million adults in the United States and 1.3 billion adults globally.

About half of the people affected remain undiagnosed and many individuals are reactive rather than proactive in managing their condition. Healthcare providers and patients often lack the necessary information for effective medication management. As a result, hypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular death worldwide, and reported, as primary or contributing cause for 700.000 deaths per year in the US alone.

Current Hypertension diagnosis methods fail to capture a complete and accurate blood profile, as measurements are often inaccurate or only taken at specific points in time. Other complicating phenomena include White Coat Hypertension (10% to 30% of adults exhibit elevated blood pressure readings in healthcare settings), Masked Hypertension up to 30% of adults with normal measurements at the doctor’s office may have elevated blood pressure at home, and Nocturnal Hypertension (20% to 40% of adults experience blood pressure rises during sleep). Some patients who have high blood pressure do not respond well to aggressive medical treatment, and about 20% of patients with Resistant Hypertension.

The accompanying Remote Patient Monitoring Platform with Reporting Service enable seamless integration into existing clinical workflows, delivering healthcare providers data-driven insights to inform better treatment decisions, improve outcomes by reducing preventable cardiovascular events, and lower healthcare costs. Our solution can help to reduce the need for in-person visits, improve patient adherence to care and optimize clinical resources, making proactive hypertension management both scalable and efficient.

Our Breakthrough technology.

Our innovative biosensing technology uses Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) to optically measure arterial blood flow velocity. A machine learning algorithm (“Health-AI”) interprets the LDF signal to obtain accurate blood pressure measurements.

Our LDF technology can deliver superior accuracy and robustness versus existing wearable blood pressure measurement methods such as photoplethysmography (PPG) that is more sensitive to body motion artefacts and can be impacted by artery wall stiffness.

Combining innovative biometric sensing technology with advanced AI, our solution provides a comprehensive patient blood pressure profile, enabling accurate hypertension diagnosis and effective medical management. This helps keep hypertension under control and facilitates better quality measurements.

Why this matters:

Age-agnostic Accuracy: Our LDF-based flow velocity-based approach overcomes limitations of existing PPG technology in elderly populations by maintaining high signal fidelity despite age-related arterial stiffness.

Physiological Precision: Our advanced machine learning algorithms (“Health-AI”) extract over 90 physiological features like pulse pressure, systolic/diastolic points, and reflection timing, to deliver precise blood pressure assessments.

Real-World Robustness: Our algorithms account for physiological changes during activity, ensuring reliable blood pressure assessments across various conditions.

Our innovative approach is supported by a robust intellectual property portfolio, featuring seven filed U.S. patents, with further patents under development.
