Beyond Alerts. Beyond Documentation.
Ardia Health uses Google Cloud's Healthcare API, Vertex AI, and BigQuery to deliver longitudinal clinical reasoning that predicts asthma/COPD exacerbations 7 days in advance — reducing ER visits by 40% while generating $180/patient/month in RPM revenue.
End-to-End Flow: From Patient Data to Clinical Action
Transcription ≠ Intelligence: Ambient scribes only document — they don't reason.
Alerts ≠ Decisions: Rule-based alerts create noise, not insight.
Burnout ≠ Solved: More tools = more clicks = more frustration.
We don't just alert providers — we reason across time, predict deterioration, and recommend the next-best-action based on the full patient context.
Sources: FHIR (via Google Healthcare API), EHR integrations (Epic, Cerner), wearables (Apple Health, Fitbit), patient-reported symptoms (mobile app)
Google Cloud: Cloud Healthcare API FHIR store, Pub/Sub for real-time streaming
Process: Structured + unstructured data cleaned, mapped to clinical ontologies (SNOMED CT, LOINC)
Google Cloud: Dataflow for ETL, BigQuery for longitudinal patient timelines
AI Engine: Temporal models analyze trends, patterns, deviations. No static thresholds — context-aware reasoning.
Example: "Patient's FEV1 declining 3% weekly + rescue inhaler use up 40% + nighttime symptoms increasing → 7-day exacerbation risk = 78%"
Google Cloud: Vertex AI custom-trained models, AutoML for feature engineering
Output: Risk scores (0-100), recommended interventions ranked by clinical impact
Example Actions: "Schedule urgent pulmonology visit," "Increase controller dose," "Patient education: inhaler technique"
Google Cloud: Cloud Functions for real-time decisioning, Firestore for action tracking
Provider Dashboard: Prioritized patient list, clinical reasoning explained, one-click interventions
Patient App: Simple, actionable guidance ("Your asthma risk is elevated — use your controller inhaler twice daily")
Google Cloud: Cloud Run for web dashboard, Firebase for mobile app backend
All PHI encrypted at rest (Cloud KMS) and in transit (TLS 1.3). BAA signed with Google Cloud. Role-based access (Cloud IAM). Audit logs (Cloud Logging) for every data access.
Our Infrastructure Stack (Current + Planned)
Longitudinal Data: Each patient generates 10,000+ data points over 12 months (vitals, medications, lab results, symptoms). BigQuery handles petabyte-scale analytics.
Real-Time Inference: When a patient reports worsening symptoms, our Vertex AI models must predict exacerbation risk in <200ms.
HIPAA at Scale: Google Cloud's Healthcare API is the only FHIR-native solution with built-in BAA, de-identification, and consent management.
How Ardia Transforms Respiratory Care
22 million Americans have asthma. 16 million have COPD.
❌ 2 million ER visits/year ($3,000-$15,000 per visit)
❌ 60% of patients misuse inhalers → poor control
❌ Clinicians see 300+ patients → can't monitor all proactively
❌ Care is reactive: patients deteriorate silently until crisis
Patient reports increased breathlessness in mobile app. Rescue inhaler use: 3x/day (normal: 1x/week).
Ardia AI analyzes: FEV1 trend ↓ 5%, nighttime symptoms ↑, pollen levels elevated. Exacerbation risk: 68%
Provider dashboard flags patient as High Priority. Recommends: increase controller dose, schedule telehealth visit.
Patient stabilizes. ER visit avoided ($8,000 saved). Clinic earns $60 RPM reimbursement for remote monitoring.
✓ Interactive dashboard — Click buttons to see real-time modals for scheduling, messaging, prescriptions
Target: 3 primary care clinics, 500 asthma/COPD patients
Goal: Reduce ER visits 40%, increase RPM revenue $180/patient/month
Google Cloud Role: Healthcare API for FHIR data, Vertex AI for risk models, BigQuery for population analytics

Competitive Differentiation
Reasoning > Alerts: We don't just flag problems — we explain clinical logic and recommend actions.
Clinical Intelligence > Transcription: We solve care gaps, not documentation gaps.
Proactive > Reactive: We predict deterioration before crisis, not after.
Built for Scale: Google Cloud enables us to serve 10,000+ patients per clinic with <200ms inference latency.
Status: Pre-seed / Prototype phase
Progress: Core AI models trained, provider dashboard in development, Phase 1 pilot clinics identified
Commitment: 100% Google Cloud infrastructure (no AWS/Azure dependencies)
Ask: $100,000 Google Cloud credits + technical partnership to accelerate development & pilot deployment
Ardia Health is building the future of clinical intelligence — and Google Cloud is essential to our mission.
