Company Overview

Hibiscus Health is a next-gen digital cardiometabolic health platform that uses remote photoplethysmography for non-invasive 30-second facial blood flow scans via smartphone. It analyzes key biomarkers without blood tests or doctor visits, paired with a mobile app offering nutrition coaching, logging, a dietitian chatbot, and digital twin visualization for prevention, early detection, and management of diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.

Core themes: Digital Health, AI, Preventive Care, Cardiometabolic.

Why It Matters

Only 10 to 12 percent of people complete recommended metabolic screenings, leaving most at-risk individuals invisible until high-cost events occur. By turning a simple phone selfie into instant, private, actionable insights, Hibiscus makes preventive cardiometabolic care accessible and scalable.
