E495 Chris Fernandez, Executive Chairman and Chief Research Officer at EnsoData

Today's guest is Chris Fernandez, Executive Chairman and Chief Research Officer at EnsoData in Madison, Wisconsin. Founded in 2015, EnsoData uses artificial intelligence to automate waveform analysis and spotlight disease processes as they manifest over different timescales - whether looking for heart rhythm irregularities over seconds, glycemic index dynamics over minutes, sleep disordered breathing patterns over hours or indicators to preempt heart decompensation over days.

EnsoData's first solution focuses on sleep medicine and reducing the time to score sleep studies, but the applications are endless. Their software has the capability of informing health decisions from monitoring patient health in the ICU or through wearables, to detecting and capturing seizure data, to earlier detection of heart disease, diabetes, stroke and Alzheimer’s. It is their goal to make healthcare more accurate, efficient and affordable.
