Preventive cardiovascular health — built for the GCC's expatriate workforce

Know your heart risk before it becomes an emergency.

Qalb Health turns a five-minute intake into a clinically validated cardiovascular risk score — powered directly by licensed American Heart Association technology — plus the coaching and nudges to actually move it.

Why this exists

A pattern too consistent across the region to ignore

Sudden cardiac events in otherwise healthy, working-age expatriates — appearing years earlier than clinicians used to expect, and almost always with no prior diagnosis.

50–72%

of recorded deaths among one expatriate community in a neighbouring Gulf country, over 18 months, were attributed to heart attack.

1 in 5

heart attacks today occur in adults 40 or younger — roughly double the share of a decade ago.

QAR 18.1B

the yearly cost of non-communicable disease to Qatar's economy today, cardiovascular disease its single largest driver.

Consular data reported in regional press, Apple Heart Study (Stanford, 419,297 participants), and peer-reviewed NCD cost projections for Qatar, 2024–2033.

What we built

A real risk score, not a wellness-app guess

A short set of clinical inputs runs through validated scoring equations to produce an actual risk percentage — colour-banded so it's instantly readable, with coaching that follows.

  • One real number, colour-banded. Low, borderline, intermediate or high — driven by an actual computed percentage, not a subjective label.

  • It updates. Re-assessed on a cadence as behaviour changes, with nudges timed to sleep, activity, and diet windows that actually move the number.

  • Coaching in the person's own language. AI drives the engagement layer — plans, nudges, and explanations — never the clinical scoring itself.

  • Population view for HR and insurers. Aggregate risk trends, never individual health data exposed.

★ Licensed technology partner

Our risk score runs on the American Heart Association's own PREVENT engine — directly.

This isn't a re-implementation we built by reading a paper. We've licensed the official AHA PREVENT calculation code and integrated it directly into our platform, so every score a person sees is produced by the same equations the AHA's own authors maintain — now the preferred model under the current ACC/AHA guideline, replacing the older Pooled Cohort Equations.

Direct code integration

We license and run the AHA's own PREVENT engine — not a hand-built approximation of it.

10-year and 30-year risk

ASCVD, heart failure, and total cardiovascular risk — validated across sex, age, and lab-based inputs.

Reviewed, not just deployed

A cardiology advisory panel, including NHS-affiliated specialists, reviews how the score is used and explained.

Who we work with

Our first partnerships — with many more on the way

We're building Qalb Health together with the organisations who see this pattern in their own claims and workforce data.

Pilot partner

DataVoice

Our first signed pilot collaboration, bringing Qalb Health's risk scoring and coaching to a live workforce population — validating the model end-to-end, from intake to engagement.

Clinical validation

American Heart Association

Licensed integration of the PREVENT risk engine, with the same equations used in clinical practice running directly inside our platform.

And many more to come. We're in active conversations with employers, insurers, and regional health partners across the GCC — this list is the start, not the whole story.
Who this is for, today

A free three-month pilot for our first employers and insurers

Employers

Lower long-term claims

Catch risk across your workforce before it becomes a claim, before it becomes an absence.

Insurers

Fewer claims, better visibility

Population-level risk data to inform underwriting today, and fewer of the cardiac claims that pattern predicts tomorrow — no individual records exposed.

Individuals

Know where you stand

A validated picture of your own cardiovascular risk, with coaching that meets you in your own language.

The pattern is documented. The solution is built. Let's pilot it.
