At-home blood testing and ECG, a photon-counting CCTA scan in Austin, and expert cardiologist guidance. All coordinated for you.
Free to join. No payment or commitment.
We arrange a blood draw and an ECG at your home or an address of your choice. A clinician reviews the results to determine whether you’re eligible for a scan.
Have your blood collected at home by a mobile phlebotomist. Or if you already have results, share them for clinical review.
We also schedule an ECG at your home. It records your heart’s electrical activity and helps your clinician assess scan eligibility.
Your scan uses photon-counting CCTA to take a detailed look inside the arteries supplying your heart.
CCTA checks for both types of buildup in your arteries, as well as any narrowing they may cause.
Photon-counting technology can produce sharper images—even in areas where calcium deposits can make arteries harder to assess.
Your cardiologist combines these findings with your blood results and history to explain your risk and recommend next steps.
The scan uses X-rays and injected contrast. Clinical review checks whether it’s right for you.
Talk through your blood results and scan with a heart specialist who explains what they mean for you.
One conversation that brings it all together.
No payment today. A clinician reviews your medical history before booking.

The trials above studied people with chest pain. They did not test Picardo’s program or establish the same benefit for screening people without symptoms. A clinician reviews whether imaging is right for you. Sources
“I almost always prefer my patients to have a CT angiogram over a calcium scan.”
“This will be a game changer for coronary artery imaging.”
A calcium score “cannot rule out obstructive coronary artery disease, non-obstructive plaque, or adverse plaque phenotypes.”
