Every Second Counts in Chronic Care
6.7 million Americans live with heart failure. 16 million battle COPD. 100 million have fatty liver disease. 25 million struggle with asthma.
Ardia Health is building AI that bridges the gap between patients and providers — saving lives, time, and money through intelligent chronic care management.
The Crisis in Numbers
Real-Time Statistics: The Chronic Care Challenge
These numbers represent real people — patients struggling to manage complex conditions and providers overwhelmed by the scale of chronic disease.

Understanding the Challenges
Each chronic condition presents unique challenges for both providers and patients. Click "Deep Dive" to explore the full problem-solution landscape.
Heart Failure
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
🏥Challenges for Providers
- 1Managing complex medication titration (ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, diuretics) across thousands of patients with varying responses
- 2Identifying early decompensation signs before they become emergencies - weight gain, fluid retention, fatigue often missed
- 3Coordinating care across cardiologists, primary care, and specialists with fragmented EHR systems
- 4Overwhelming patient-to-provider ratio makes proactive monitoring nearly impossible
- 5Time-consuming prior authorizations for expensive medications like Entresto, Jardiance delay critical treatments
👤Challenges for Patients
- 1Daily medication regimens with 7+ pills at different times cause confusion and missed doses
- 2Difficulty recognizing warning signs - 'Is this shortness of breath normal or an emergency?'
- 3Long wait times (2-4 weeks) to see specialists when symptoms worsen
- 4High out-of-pocket costs for medications and frequent hospital visits causing financial stress
- 5Social isolation and depression from activity limitations affecting quality of life
- 6Anxiety about sudden cardiac events, especially during sleep
⚡How Ardia Health Solves This
- AI-powered remote monitoring through wearables detects weight changes, fluid retention, and vital sign anomalies 48-72 hours before typical decompensation
- Intelligent medication management with automated reminders, drug interaction checks, and dosage optimization suggestions for providers
- Predictive risk scoring alerts providers to high-risk patients before hospitalization is needed
- Automated prior authorization processing reduces medication delays from weeks to hours
- 24/7 AI health companion answers patient questions, provides reassurance, and escalates true emergencies
- Direct integration with emergency services for life-threatening arrhythmias or cardiac events
COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
🏥Challenges for Providers
- 1Predicting exacerbations before they require hospitalization - current methods reactive not proactive
- 2Ensuring proper inhaler technique - 90% of patients use inhalers incorrectly reducing efficacy
- 3Managing comorbidities (heart disease, diabetes, anxiety) that complicate COPD treatment
- 4Limited pulmonary rehabilitation access - only 3% of eligible patients receive it
- 5Difficulty distinguishing COPD exacerbation from heart failure or pneumonia remotely
👤Challenges for Patients
- 1Breathlessness causing fear of physical activity, leading to deconditioning spiral
- 2Complex inhaler regimens with different devices (MDI, DPI, nebulizers) causing confusion
- 3Air quality and weather changes triggering unpredictable flare-ups
- 4Sleep disturbances from nocturnal symptoms affecting daily functioning
- 5Social stigma and guilt (especially for current/former smokers) preventing help-seeking
- 6Anxiety about breathing emergencies, especially being alone during an attack
⚡How Ardia Health Solves This
- Continuous SpO2 and respiratory rate monitoring through wearables with AI pattern recognition for early exacerbation warning
- Smart inhaler sensors track usage, technique, and medication adherence with real-time coaching
- Air quality integration alerts patients to high-risk environmental conditions and suggests preventive actions
- Virtual pulmonary rehabilitation programs delivered through the app, expanding access 10x
- AI differentiates COPD exacerbation patterns from other conditions, improving diagnostic accuracy
- Emergency protocol activation when SpO2 drops below critical thresholds with automatic 911 engagement
CLD
Chronic Liver Disease (includes Cirrhosis, NAFLD, Hepatitis)
🏥Challenges for Providers
- 1Silent progression - most patients asymptomatic until advanced stage when intervention options limited
- 2NAFLD/NASH epidemic (100M Americans) overwhelming hepatology capacity
- 3Complex staging (FibroScan, biopsy) required for treatment decisions but limited availability
- 4Medication hepatotoxicity concerns require careful monitoring across all prescriptions
- 5Transplant list management and timing decisions with limited donor organs
👤Challenges for Patients
- 1No symptoms until late stage creates false sense of security and poor adherence to monitoring
- 2Dietary restrictions (sodium, protein limitations in advanced disease) difficult to follow
- 3Alcohol cessation support inadequate, with high relapse rates
- 4Medication burden and fear of 'hurting the liver more' with necessary treatments
- 5Mental health impact of potential transplant need and life-long condition management
- 6Confusion about disease type (fatty liver vs hepatitis vs cirrhosis) and prognosis
⚡How Ardia Health Solves This
- AI risk stratification identifies high-risk NAFLD patients for advanced screening, optimizing hepatology referrals
- Non-invasive fibrosis score calculation using routine labs, reducing need for invasive procedures
- Medication safety screening automatically flags hepatotoxic drugs across all prescribers
- Personalized nutrition coaching with meal planning for liver-healthy diets
- Integrated mental health support and addiction recovery resources with progress tracking
- Encephalopathy early warning through cognitive assessment tools and caregiver alerts
Asthma
Chronic Asthma & Severe Asthma
🏥Challenges for Providers
- 1Overreliance on rescue inhalers indicates poor control but often goes undetected between visits
- 2Identifying severe asthma patients who need biologics - only 5% of eligible patients receive them
- 3School and work absence patterns invisible to providers, underestimating disease burden
- 4Environmental trigger identification requires detailed history-taking time providers don't have
- 5Step-up/step-down therapy decisions made with limited real-world control data
👤Challenges for Patients
- 1Rescue inhaler overuse creates false sense of control while underlying inflammation worsens
- 2Trigger avoidance difficult when allergens and irritants are ubiquitous (dust, pollen, pollution)
- 3Cost of controller medications (especially biologics) leads to rationing doses
- 4Nocturnal symptoms disrupting sleep but often normalized as 'just my asthma'
- 5Fear of attacks during exercise limiting physical activity and fitness
- 6Children with asthma facing academic challenges from absenteeism and medication stigma
⚡How Ardia Health Solves This
- Smart inhaler tracking identifies rescue inhaler overuse patterns and alerts providers to uncontrolled patients
- Peak flow monitoring integration with trend analysis detects declining lung function before symptoms
- Environmental trigger mapping using location data and air quality APIs personalizes avoidance strategies
- Biologic therapy eligibility screening automatically identifies candidates and initiates referrals
- Asthma action plan digitization with step-by-step guidance during worsening symptoms
- Severe attack detection triggers emergency protocol with automatic 911 notification and parent/caregiver alerts
