About
Ventriject offers the Seismofit® System, a patented, clinically validated medical device that revolutionizes cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) assessment by estimating VO₂ max in under 3 minutes — all at rest, with no exercise required. The system uses seismocardiography to capture and analyze the mechanical vibrations generated by the beating heart and transmitted to the chest wall through a compact sensor (3 cm × 5 cm × 1.5 cm, 25g). A state-of-the-art AI algorithm then processes this signal to deliver precise VO₂ max estimations quickly and reliably. VO₂ max is recognized by the American Heart Association as the gold standard indicator of overall health and a reliable predictor of mortality risk. A high VO₂ max can reduce mortality risk by up to 70%, making accurate, accessible measurement critically important in clinical and occupational health contexts. The Seismofit® System is a CE-marked Class 1 medical device, approved for use by health professionals. Its portability and ease of use make it ideal for occupational health screenings, preventive medical programs, sports medicine clinics, and longevity-focused health assessments. It replaces cumbersome step tests and exercise-based protocols with a fast, comfortable, and accurate alternative. Featured on BBC Click and endorsed by sports medicine physicians and occupational health providers, the Seismofit® System is trusted across Europe and North America.
Key Features
- Resting VO₂ Max Estimation: Delivers precise VO₂ max readings in under 3 minutes without requiring any physical exercise from the patient.
- AI-Powered Seismocardiography: Uses an advanced AI algorithm to analyze mechanical heart vibrations captured through the chest wall, producing clinically accurate results.
- Compact & Portable Sensor: The Seismofit® sensor measures just 3 cm × 5 cm × 1.5 cm and weighs 25g, enabling testing in any clinical or field setting.
- CE-Certified Medical Device: Fully CE-marked as a Class 1 medical device, validated for use by health professionals in clinical and occupational health environments.
- Clinically Validated Accuracy: Backed by clinical studies and endorsed by sports medicine doctors and preventive health organizations across Europe and North America.
Use Cases
- Occupational health screenings to assess employee cardiorespiratory fitness quickly and comfortably without exercise.
- Preventive medical examinations where clinicians need a fast, validated alternative to traditional step or stress tests.
- Sports medicine consultations to baseline and track VO₂ max as part of athlete performance and health monitoring programs.
- Longevity and preventive health clinics offering patients actionable cardiovascular fitness data as part of comprehensive health assessments.
- Clinical research studies requiring non-invasive, rapid cardiorespiratory fitness measurement across large patient populations.
Pros
- No Exercise Required: Removes barriers for patients who cannot or will not perform stress tests, making VO₂ max measurement accessible to a much wider population.
- Fast & Accurate Results: Delivers clinically validated VO₂ max estimations in under 3 minutes, dramatically faster than traditional exercise-based protocols.
- Highly Portable: The ultra-compact, lightweight sensor can be used in clinics, workplaces, or field environments without specialized lab infrastructure.
- Medically Certified: CE-marked and clinically validated, giving health professionals confidence in the device's reliability and regulatory compliance.
Cons
- For Health Professionals Only: The device is designed for use by clinicians and occupational health providers, limiting direct consumer accessibility.
- Hardware Purchase Required: As a physical medical device, it requires upfront hardware investment rather than a simple software subscription.
- Limited to VO₂ Max Measurement: The system is purpose-built for cardiorespiratory fitness estimation and does not cover a broader range of biometric health assessments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is VO₂ max and why does it matter?
VO₂ max measures the maximum amount of oxygen the body can use during exercise and is recognized by the American Heart Association as the gold standard indicator of overall health. A higher VO₂ max is linked to lower mortality risk and reduced risk of serious diseases.
How does the Seismofit® System estimate VO₂ max without exercise?
The Seismofit® sensor captures the mechanical vibrations of the beating heart transmitted through the chest wall using seismocardiography. An AI algorithm then analyzes these signals to produce a precise VO₂ max estimate — all at rest, within 3 minutes.
Is the Seismofit® System a certified medical device?
Yes. The Seismofit® System is a CE-marked Class 1 medical device approved for use by health professionals in Europe and North America.
Who is the Seismofit® System designed for?
It is designed for health professionals including occupational health providers, sports medicine doctors, preventive health clinics, and longevity specialists who need fast, reliable VO₂ max assessments for their patients or employees.
How does Seismofit® compare to traditional VO₂ max tests?
Traditional VO₂ max tests require strenuous exercise and specialized lab equipment and can take significantly longer. The Seismofit® System delivers comparable clinical accuracy in under 3 minutes with no exercise, making it far more practical for routine health screenings.
