Athletic Heart: Mobile, Preventive Screening For Athletes
From the hotel suite to the gymnasium floor, Orlando, Fla.-based medical screening company Athletic Heart is mobilizing and modernizing the preventive testing of professional athletes.
For decades, athletes preparing for competition have undergone medical screening to ensure their bodies are up to the task. The screening traditionally occurs within the confines of a hospital imaging center, or inside an outpatient clinic. Athletic Heart is changing all that, and it’s using the cloud.
“We bring a hospital imaging department to you,” Athletic Heart CEO Wesley Stokes said. “ECG’s, ECHO’s, Carotids, we can do ABI’s…We can be pretty extensive as far as screening goes.”
Learn About Us
Together we have developed a set of very specific protocols that benefit the athlete’s performance and well-being. Commonly used cardiac techniques are fine-tuned exclusively for our athletes. These advancements are based upon collaborative research and development initiatives between our team members and result in the establishment of a unique athlete database which has quickly become the “norm” for athletic cardiovascular testing.
We are able to custom-tailor cardiac or metabolic needs to fit the budget and requirements of any organization. And our on-site imaging and cloud-based interface is a valuable resource for your team’s cardiologist that will allow for quick turnaround and clearance of athletes simultaneously — uploading seamlessly to your team’s EMR. Athletic Heart has proven to provide a unique and successful service to organizations time and again.
