These evidence-based solutions help employers, brokers, and unions tackle cardiovascular disease, a leading driver of medical claims and lost productivity.

Cardio Diagnostics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDIO), an AI-powered precision cardiovascular medicine company, today announced that the company will exhibit at four upcoming national benefits conferences, connecting with employers, brokers, union trustees, and plan administrators on a shared challenge: cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD remains a leading medical claims cost driver for most health plans and a major contributor to absenteeism, disability, and lost workforce productivity.

Cardio Diagnostics' clinically validated blood tests, Epi+Gen CHD™ and PrecisionCHD™, combine epigenetics, genetics, and AI to help identify at-risk individuals before a life-threatening, costly cardiac event occurs. These tests go beyond proxy biomarkers for heart disease, such as cholesterol and blood pressure, to help improve plan member outcomes while equipping benefit leaders and organizations with an effective cost reduction strategy and helping brokers improve client retention. Paired with HeartRisk™, the company's HIPAA-compliant real-time population insights platform, plan sponsors can benchmark cardiovascular risk across their workforce or membership, project both direct and indirect costs, and target benefits where they may have the greatest impact.

Cardio Diagnostics will be exhibiting at the following conferences in June:

Greater Philadelphia Business Coalition on Health (GPBCH) Annual Conference — June 4, 2026, Philadelphia, PA.
Conner Strong & Buckelew (CSB) Health & Benefits Innovation Summit — June 9, 2026, Philadelphia, PA.
Midwest Employee Benefit Funds (MEBFC) Coalition, Inc. Annual Meeting — June 12, 2026, Countryside, IL.
Onsite Employee Health & Wellness Centers Conference — June 25-26, 2026, Chicago, IL.

Closing the Gap on a Preventable Crisis

According to the World Heart Federation, an estimated 80% of CVD can be prevented. Yet, CVD is one of the leading combined direct and indirect cost drivers of benefits plans. These rising costs can impact broker satisfaction while straining the budgets of employers and union funds.

Cardio Diagnostics' solutions can help to address this challenge. Epi+Gen CHD™ can identify individuals at higher risk for a heart attack or sudden cardiac death in the next three years, even when traditional risk factors like cholesterol and blood pressure appear normal. PrecisionCHD™ helps detect molecular signals associated with coronary heart disease before major symptoms or events may occur. When implemented, they work together to help individuals take preventive action while helping employers, unions, and brokers reduce spend and support a healthier, more productive workforce.

Meesha Dogan, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder of Cardio Diagnostics, highlighted the company's unique position to partner with employers, brokers, and unions to tackle CVD. "The best benefits strategies do two things at once: bring spend down and keep individuals healthier. Cardiovascular disease presents an opportunity to do both. It's a top claims driver, and it's largely preventable when risk is identified early. Our precision tests and HeartRisk™ platform give plan sponsors a clear, individualized path to lower direct and indirect costs while keeping the workforce healthier, longer."
