Hey everyone! We’re Brandon, Raquel, Harish, and Wyatt—we’re a team of doctors and engineers here to help you improve your heart health. We previously worked at Kaiser, Google, and Apple, and ran one of the first studies to use deep learning to detect abnormal heart rhythms using the Apple Watch's heart rate sensor.

Heart disease kills more people than all cancers combined—but it’s also the area of health most in your control. 80% of heart attacks can be avoided, and your risk is predictable using statistical models up to 30 years in advance.

Today, we’re launching Empirical’s heart health program across 30+ states, reaching over 200 million people.

Measure
We're offering a $190 test measuring 85+ biomarkers—available at 2,200+ locations nationwide. This includes key biomarkers like:
* ApoB: every 10 mg/dL drop cuts heart disease risk by 9%
* Lp(a): up to 6x more atherogenic than regular LDL
* Cholesterol & Triglycerides: core inputs into heart attack risk predictors.

Predict
Next, we show how your heart attack risk could change by age 70—
* If you do nothing
* If you follow a tailored plan with medication, diet, and exercise

Many people cut their risk by 50% or more with the right changes.

Prevent
Then, we help you build a personalized action plan.

“Eat less red meat.” “Eat more greens.” You’ve heard it all before. This is different. We build a biomarker-driven nutrition plan tailored to your bloodwork—targeting the exact nutrients that matter for your heart. These tailored plans have been shown in the medical literature to be about twice as effective as a simple "eat more fruits and vegetables" diet.

And tracking? Just snap a photo of your meal. We’ll use AI to analyze nutrients like fiber, potassium, sodium, saturated fat, and more.

Help us save one million people from heart disease by 2027--spread the word or get your results now.

Comment highlights

This product can certainly save the lives of a lot of folks... Best of luck for this launch, @Empirical Health Team!

Love how Empirical combines wearable data with comprehensive biomarkers to create a personalized heart health plan. Curious—how do you ensure the accuracy of data from various devices like Apple Watch and Fitbit?

Considering the amount of deaths happening due to heart attacks, this seems a great innovation, but what is the pricing bcz it needs to be affordable for people to try out atleast.

This looks awesome! I’ve had blood work done before, but it always felt like there wasn’t enough information to get a full picture. I love that you’re measuring so many different biomarkers, and the personalized health plan seems way more useful than the usual advice. Definitely looking into this! Keep it up!

Very cool launch!

How is it different than the regular annual exam I get from my doctor?

This seems like a really cool extension of the service! You've made the comprehensive panel obviously the most compelling-looking in the app, but would it be possible to make it easier to see what subsets of the comprehensive are covered in the Core blood/adv cardio/core cardio? e.g. maybe color code each and show the respective colors wherever they overlap. I presume the comprehensive is just the union of all the other biomarkers possibly testable.

How do the biomarker tests play with the Empirical Pro subscriptions if at all?

And do you all have any recommendation on how frequently I should retest? e.g. is it realistic that I could make significant improvements in key markers 3 months later if I were curious?

Looking forward to this product. Heart health is especially important for most of developers. I get regular checkups every year, and I hope this app can help with preventing heart disease. Also, one suggestion: the overall UI of the current interface could be further optimized. Many of the spacing ratios are uncomfortable to look at.

Absolutely love this! Visibility into your health and understanding your biomarkers are the first step for good preventative healthcare

Cool launch! 85+ biomarkers sound like a lot. Are there some that are more important than others? And how often should I be retesting?

Does the initial test measure biomarkers that change over time? Is it helpful to go back for testing periodically?

Congrats on the launch! It looks polished! Do you think I should run this by my doctor first, or is it safe to use right away?

Wow your tagline is really straightforward! I don't want to die of a heart attack too 😂

Is your product made especially for patients or elderlys, or for all people(who don't want to die)?

By the way, congratulations @bballinger!

The Empirical heart health initiative is a remarkable convergence of medical insight and engineering excellence. It’s a powerful reminder that data-driven healthcare can truly transform lives.

Really love the mission behind this! Making heart health more accessible and personalized with data-driven insights is such a meaningful step. Excited to see the impact this creates.
