Premedix Academy

What Premedix Academy does

Premedix Academy is a Bratislava-based non-governmental organization founded in 2015 (with its IRIS education program originating in 2006) that conducts precision medicine research and provides biomedical education for healthcare professionals. Its research division develops machine-learning and smartphone-based cardiovascular diagnostic and monitoring tools, including STOP SHOCK (an ML scoring system for cardiogenic shock prediction in acute coronary syndrome, with an online calculator at stopshock.org), BioGuard CCS (PPG-based smartphone screening for silent chronic coronary syndrome), SEERLINQ (non-invasive remote heart failure monitoring, operated via a spin-off), GET SMART (decision support for post-cardiac arrest syndrome), and Heart Under Control (telemedicine platform for hypertension management). The organization also pursues biomarker research including apelin for atrial fibrillation detection.

The business model combines non-dilutive public funding with educational programs. Primary funding comes from the European Union through the Slovak Recovery and Resilience Plan, most notably via the Center for Innovative Healthcare / HealthHub Partners project established in February 2025. Educational revenue is generated through the IRIS Summer Schools (held since 2006 in 12 countries with 400+ participants from 33 countries) and Webimed telemedicine courses, while a portion of operational capacity is allocated to research collaboration with the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases and Comenius University in Bratislava. SEERLINQ functions as the commercial vehicle for remote cardiology monitoring. Distribution is achieved through scientific conference presentations (ESC, AHA, A-CURE), peer-reviewed publications, an online calculator, and international educational programs rather than direct enterprise sales.

The leadership team is small (1-10 employees), led by CEO and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Allan Böhm (ESC Silver Medal recipient, ESET Science Award finalist) and Head of IRIS Education Dr. Ljuba Bacharova (executive editor of the Journal of Electrocardiology). The organization is registered as Premedix Academy NGO in Slovakia and operates from offices at Medená 18 and laboratories at the Comenius University Science Park in Bratislava.
