Chronic Care Intelligence · Heart Failure

Detect deterioration before it becomes a crisis.

PhysioSim Systems is an API infrastructure layer for chronic care teams. We learn each patient's individualized baseline from longitudinal, multi-signal data — and surface persistent, meaningful deviations before clinical escalation.

PhysioSim does not diagnose and does not make clinical decisions. It supports earlier clinical awareness for care teams.

// The problem

Patients deteriorate silently. Care teams see it too late.

Signal Overload

Care teams receive feeds from EHRs, RPM devices, wearables, vitals, and labs — but have limited time to interpret multi-signal trends. Individual signals get missed in the noise.

Static Thresholds

Population-based alert rules don't account for each patient's individual normal range. They create false alarms for stable patients and miss early drift in others.

Alert Fatigue

Noisy monitoring queues erode clinician trust. When alarms fire constantly, real signals get buried — and teams stop acting on them with appropriate urgency.

Workflow Disruption

Most monitoring tools require new dashboards, new logins, new processes. Care teams don't have capacity for another platform — they need infrastructure that fits existing operations.

// Our solution

Individualized baselines. Persistent deviation detection. Workflow-native delivery.

Individualized Baseline Modeling

PhysioSim builds a personalized physiological model per patient from longitudinal data — no population averages, no one-size-fits-all thresholds.

Multi-Signal Deviation Detection

We detect persistent, meaningful deviations across weight, HR, activity, symptoms, labs — including frequency-domain and waveform features from raw physiological signals when available.

Risk Stratification with Rationale

Low / medium / high risk output with a concise, explainable rationale — so care coordinators can act without physician review for every case.

Workflow-Native Delivery

Outputs route into existing nurse queues, care coordinator tools, and clinical systems. No new dashboard required. Infrastructure, not a consumer app.

⚠ PhysioSim does not diagnose heart failure exacerbation and does not make clinical decisions. It supports earlier clinical awareness. Care teams review all alerts before any action is taken.

Signal availability is source- and partner-dependent.
// How it works

Five steps from raw data to clinical action.

01

Ingest

Patient data flows in from existing sources — EHRs, remote monitoring tools, wearables, clinical data streams — via standard interfaces. Raw physiologic signals (ECG, waveforms, accelerometer) included when available.

02

Model the Individual Baseline

PhysioSim builds a personalized baseline for each patient over a defined lookback window. Each signal is characterized relative to that individual's normal range — not a population average.

03

Detect Persistent Deviation

We flag sustained, multi-signal deviation that exceeds the patient's historical variance — with emphasis on persistence over transient noise. Frequency-domain and waveform features analyzed where available.

04

Route to Nurse / Care Coordinator First

Alerts with concise, explainable rationale are delivered to the first-line care team — not physicians by default. Designed to fit existing RPM and chronic care operations staffing models.

05

Review, Contact, Escalate as Warranted

The care team reviews the alert, contacts the patient if needed, adjusts the care plan, and escalates to a physician only when clinically warranted. PhysioSim supports the decision — it doesn't make it.

// Clinical workflow design

Built for RPM operations — not as a new destination.

1

Nurse-First Routing

Alerts route to nurses and care coordinators as first-line reviewers. Physicians receive escalations only when the care team determines it's clinically warranted — preserving physician time.

2

Human-in-the-Loop

Every alert requires care team review before any patient action. PhysioSim surfaces risk and rationale; clinicians own the decision. This is by design, not a limitation.

3

Noise Reduction by Design

Transient anomalies are de-emphasized. Only persistent, multi-signal deviation triggers an alert — reducing queue volume and restoring care team trust in monitoring systems.

// For investors & government partners

A large, measurable problem with a clear infrastructure solution.

Why now

  • RPM adoption accelerated post-pandemic; data streams exist but lack intelligent analysis layers
  • CMS reimbursement for RPM continues to expand, increasing payer and provider incentive to act on the data
  • Heart failure is the #1 driver of 30-day readmission penalties under CMS Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program
  • Individualized, explainable AI is now technically feasible at the patient level with longitudinal wearable data
  • Government payers (Medicare, Medicaid) bear disproportionate HF cost burden — strong incentive to fund early intervention infrastructure

Target buyers — US market

  • Commercial insurance & Medicare Advantage plans seeking to reduce avoidable admissions in high-cost HF cohorts
  • ACOs and value-based care organizations with shared savings incentives tied to readmission reduction
  • Government health programs (CMS Innovation Center pilots, VA, state Medicaid programs)
  • Health systems and hospital networks operating RPM programs under CMS bundled payment models
  • Medtech & RPM device manufacturers seeking an intelligent alerting layer on top of existing device data streams
  • Digital health platforms providing RPM infrastructure seeking clinical intelligence as a value-add API layer

// Early clinical validation

What clinicians are saying.

The following are unsolicited responses from clinical professionals during early customer discovery conversations. Shared with permission, anonymized.

"By the time heart failure patients reach us in the ED, they've usually been declining physiologically for days to weeks before symptoms become obvious. We're seeing the endpoint of something that was already in motion. A system that could reliably flag sub-clinical instability around 10 days out would be very actionable — that gives outpatient teams time to adjust diuretics, review meds and labs, increase monitoring, or step in before things progress to pulmonary edema and an ER visit."
EM Resident, MPH
Yale School of Medicine · Early customer discovery, 2026
"Personalizing it to a patient's own baseline rather than population averages would make it far more clinically useful. The real challenge isn't whether the signal is there — it's making the model specific enough to minimize false alarms. From a public health perspective, this is significant. Heart failure admissions are resource-heavy and hit hardest among patients with limited access to regular outpatient care. Tools like this could reach them where traditional care often doesn't."

// From the founder
"PhysioSim is being built for real care delivery environments — high signal density, limited staffing, and the need for actionable, explainable alerts that reduce noise, not add to it."
Phoebe Garcia · Founder, PhysioSim Systems · phoebegarcia@protonmail.com
// Pilot program

Focused pilots for heart failure RPM programs — results in 4–8 weeks.

We run structured, governed pilots with health systems, RPM platforms, and payer-sponsored programs. No production integration required to start. De-identified retrospective data is sufficient for initial evaluation.

Ideal pilot characteristics

  • High-risk heart failure cohort with existing monitoring data
  • Active RPM or chronic care operations team (nurse/care coordinator staffing)
  • Defined escalation pathways and coverage model
  • Ability to share de-identified or appropriately governed data streams
  • Willingness to provide feedback on alert quality and workflow fit

What you'll evaluate

  • Earlier identification vs. existing static thresholds
  • Alert volume and false positive rate (vs. current system)
  • Nurse review burden and workflow integration
  • Clinical usefulness of rationale output (human-in-the-loop)
  • Signal-to-noise ratio across your specific patient cohort
