About Casana

Casana focuses on in-home health monitoring with its product, the Heart Seat, which is a smart toilet seat that records health data effortlessly. Users simply sit on the Heart Seat, and their health information is securely uploaded to the Cloud via WiFi. The Heart Seat employs clinical algorithms to analyze health measurements and a bio-identification algorithm to ensure that only the designated user's data is shared with healthcare providers. This technology is especially useful for individuals with chronic conditions like hypertension, allowing for continuous monitoring without frequent doctor visits. Casana serves patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers, operating in the home healthcare and telehealth markets. The company generates revenue through the sale of Heart Seat units and may offer subscription services for data analysis. Casana's goal is to reduce healthcare costs by enabling early detection of health issues and making health management easier for patients.
