About Us

Idoven is a European healthtech company using artificial intelligence to advance the early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, the leading cause of death worldwide.

Our CE-marked AI platform, Willem, analyzes electrocardiograms (ECGs) from any device, helping doctors detect heart conditions faster, more accurately and at scale.
