650K Americans will die from heart disease this year, and more than half of them—roughly 490K—won’t have seen it coming. That’s because about 60% of people who have a heart attack have no prior symptoms. Dr. James Min, a cardiologist, is hoping to change these statistics at his start-up Cleerly, which will use machine learning to help doctors personalize heart disease treatment plans before patients end up in the ER. He calls his company’s approach ”precision prevention.” Dr Min says that the market opportunity is massive, with more than 100 million Americans at risk of having a heart attack.
