AI-Powered Innovation: Ascension Saint Thomas Launches egnite Inc.’s CardioCare to Revolutionize Cardiovascular Care

In our ongoing commitment to enhancing community health and innovation, Ascension Saint Thomas is thrilled to be the first in Tennessee to utilize egnite's CardioCare® technology, a cutting-edge artificial intelligence-enhanced platform to revolutionize cardiovascular patient care. This system is set to revolutionize the way cardiovascular care is managed, providing smart, AI-driven insights and interventions.

CardioCare represents a groundbreaking advancement in cardiovascular patient care technology, utilizing cutting-edge AI to help physicians elevate the standard of care within our community. As the leading AI solution for cardiovascular patients, CardioCare collaborates with premier cardiovascular programs nationwide, empowering top-tier patient care practices. This platform is recognized as the most advanced technology to elevate care for cardiovascular patients in our community, partnering with world-class cardiovascular programs across the U.S. to empower best-in-class patient care.

With an estimated 121.5 million adults in the U.S. affected by cardiovascular (CV) disease-a leading cause of mortality-hospital systems face critical challenges such as resource shortages and capacity constraints. To address this pressing need for efficient patient management, we're proud to be the first in Tennessee to leverage the CardioCare platform.

"We are proud to be the first health system in Tennessee to use this AI technology," said Dr. Evelio Rodriguez, cardiothoracic surgeon at Ascension Saint Thomas Heart. "Our heart program is managing a large CV patient population. Implementing this platform will help focus our providers' time and improve resource efficiencies by automatically identifying at-risk patients to prioritize for appropriate care. By leveraging technologies that help our clinicians deliver early identification and timely treatment, we can ensure our community is living longer and healthier lives."

With this partnership, the CardioCare platform will apply AI technologies to help our physicians:

• Automatically identify patients earlier to help prevent death, stroke, and hospitalizations associated with different CV diseases.
• Increase appropriate referrals to CV specialists of patients with valvular disease, atrial fibrillation, and congestive heart failure as well as to prioritize care for patients eligible for life-saving treatment
• Ensure patients with critical CV diseases are receiving guideline-directed medical therapy

Ascension Saint Thomas remains committed to the health of our community and the impact these new technologies can have on patient care. By leading the integration of advanced AI-driven cardiac care solutions, we aim to revolutionize the way heart health is managed, providing cutting-edge treatments and personalized care that ensures every patient receives the best possible outcomes.

We look forward to the impact this partnership will have on patient care and believe that AI in the hands of clinicians is a winning combination to elevate the standard of care for CV patients in Tennessee.
