At risk
Support awareness of risk factors and preventive health conversations before heart-failure symptoms develop.
Kinetic Health Tech
Clinical roots.
A connected future.
We bring cardiovascular research, data science and digital health together to build care that continues beyond the clinic.
Our story
From research
to everyday care.
Kinetic Health Tech is a clinician-led team with roots in the Division of Cardiology at The University of Hong Kong. Under the leadership of Prof. Kai-Hang Yiu and Dr Qing-Wen Ren, the team’s work spans big-data cardiology, artificial intelligence and heart-failure prediction.
Heart Guardian AI translates that research focus into a connected-care concept: understand cardiovascular risk, bring together diagnostic information and support follow-up over time.
Our goal is to make prevention and self-management more personal, while keeping clinical judgement at the centre of care.

Our approach
Support across the
heart-failure continuum.
The intended platform pathway follows the progression from risk factors to established heart failure. These are heart-failure stages, rather than a classification of all cardiovascular disease.
Pre-heart failure
Bring together clinical information to support follow-up for people with structural or functional changes but no current symptoms.
Symptomatic heart failure
Develop practical support for symptoms, medication routines and communication with the clinical care team.

The people behind
Heart Guardian AI.
Clinical expertise and cardiovascular data research guide our development priorities.
Founder
Prof. Kai-Hang Yiu
Professor Yiu’s work combines interventional cardiology with advanced cardiovascular imaging, including echocardiography and computed tomography.
He received his MBBS and MD from The University of Hong Kong and completed a PhD at Leiden University focused on the clinical application of cardiac imaging. His academic and clinical work has contributed to cardiovascular research, education and patient care in Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

- Research leadership connecting clinical questions with new technologies
Chief Executive Officer
Dr Qing-Wen Ren
Dr Ren’s research focuses on big-data analysis in cardiovascular disease and applications of AI in medicine, with postdoctoral research experience at The University of Hong Kong’s Department of Medicine.
Her published work includes studies in the European Heart Journal, Nature Communications and The Lancet Regional Health – Western Pacific, addressing outcomes in patients with heart failure.
- Cardiovascular epidemiology and real-world clinical data
- Heart-failure prognosis and outcomes research
- Translation of research into digital health development

Diagnostic pathway
Research meets
clinical information.
Our care pathway includes Ethics Medical Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui for cardiovascular-focused diagnostic services. Blood tests, ECG, echocardiography and ultrasound can contribute complementary information, depending on clinical needs and the selected service.
