EHE Health Introduces VO2 Max Innovation to Advance Preventive Care
Seismofit® is a wellness solution developed by VentriJect, a Danish technology company. It provides a clinically relevant VO2 max readout in under three minutes and without the need for exercise. This is a transformational way of assessing VO2 max, which previously could only be assessed through a 3-minute step or a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). This enhances accessibility, especially for older people and those with physical limitations, empowering more people with health data to enable them to stay healthy.
The device measures cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) using a technique called seismocardiography, which uses a small sensor to register the movements in the chest caused by the beating heart. It then processes this information through an advanced proprietary algorithm, providing a clinically validated way to estimate VO2 max, which is an indicator for CRF.
VO2 max is the measure of the maximum amount of oxygen a person can use during exercise, expressed in millilitres of oxygen consumed per minute per kilogram of body weight. It is the gold standard for measuring cardiorespiratory fitness and is an important indicator of overall health. It correlates to a wide range of other health conditions, and the American Heart Association has called for VO2 max to be regularly examined as it is the 'strongest indicator of health[1]'.
Seismofit® is already in use across
