QuantaFlo and Company Focus
There is more to Joe Burnett’s involvement with Semler Scientific than a Bitcoin strategy. And—with his physician-inventor cap on—he has worked with the company to develop QuantaFlo, a relatively new diagnostic test that can help determine cardiovascular health.
In more than 350 hospitals, QuantaFlo is used by healthcare providers to assess a patient’s risk of mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Semler Scientific has an active 510(k) clearance application pending to extend the applications of QuantaFlo.
While the company’s core healthcare business is still the central focus, the company has made strategic moves into Bitcoin as well. This two-part strategy embodies Semler Scientific’s broader focus on innovation and driving long-term growth.
