Our Story

Built from a moment that changed everything.

HeartRelief began the night my father had a heart attack.

He survived. But the days that followed were full of questions nobody could answer simply: how stressed had he been? What had his cardiovascular load looked like in the months leading up to it? Was there a pattern we could have seen?

In order to answer these questions my family had, I designed a machine learning architecture that models HRV and hemodynamic stress correlations with heart attack risk, and trained multi-layer neural networks on physiological time-series datasets. The goal was simple: an engine that outputs a cardiovascular risk score at regular intervals, so families in similar situations to mine, can actually see the trajectory instead of guessing.

HeartRelief is that engine, wrapped in something usable. A short video sample is converted into HRV and hemodynamic stress features. A structured questionnaire captures sleep, symptoms, and lifestyle context. The trained network combines them into a periodic risk score on a 0–100 scale, banded Low / Moderate / High, and plotted over time.

Mission

Answer the questions my family struggled with.

How does stress actually affect heart attack risk? What was the trajectory in the weeks before? Could we have seen it coming? HeartRelief exists so other families don't have to sit with those questions unanswered the way mine did.
