The Canadian Foundation for Vascular Health (CFVH) places patients’ health at the heart of its mission. In an effort to raise awareness regarding prevention, treatment and issues related to cardiovascular diseases, we have collaborated with Dr. Jihene Rezgui’s LRIMa laboratory, industry partners and clinical experts to develop a novel digital solution: the OPTI+MEDIX application.

This application was conceived as a clinical decision aid aiming to improve efficiency of care administered by health care professionals. The tool proposes a structured and evidence-based approach to optimize pharmacotherapy, namely in the context of cardiovascular disease.
