Self-supervised ECG representations for clinical triage.

Why annotate thousands of waveforms? CardioRep trains on raw, unlabelled 12-lead ECGs using masked prediction—reducing annotation requirements by up to 99% while enabling explainability and similar-case retrieval.

Expert labels do not scale.

Traditional medical AI depends on scarce cardiologist hours, costly annotations, and labels shaped by inter-observer variance.

Learn from the signal itself.

Masking intervals and leads forces CardioRep to model rhythm, transition, and vector-cardiographic lead projections from raw waveforms.

From waveform to review-ready evidence.

A simulated walkthrough of the operational triage flow. Upload, quality gate, risk score, attribution, then grounded retrieval—no single opaque verdict.

Clinical evidence. Research leverage. Product economics.

THE THESIS

Do not teach a model every diagnosis.
Teach it the language of the heart.
