Overview

CARA Medical builds software that helps doctors visualize the heart's electrical conduction system without surgery. Its tools use a patient’s CT angiography to create a personalized 3D map of the conduction pathways and provide navigation during procedures. The CARA Metis software generates a pre-procedure 3D overlay of the conduction system to aid planning, while CARA Atlas offers interactive, real-time 3D guidance during interventions. This setup supports conduction system pacing and structural heart procedures such as TAVR, TMVR, and TTVR. Compared with others, CARA Medical emphasizes patient-specific, non-invasive visualization derived from existing imaging to inform planning and execution, backed by a leadership team with deep experience in cardiac imaging and medical devices. The company’s goal is to reduce procedural risks and improve the precision of cardiac device placement, ultimately improving outcomes for patients undergoing complex heart procedures.
