About Us

Established in 2017, the mission of One Heart Health is to develop cost-effective medical technologies to enable early diagnosis of heart disease in children who live in low resource areas of the world, thereby improving health outcomes.

Most of the members of the One Heart Health team are full-time working professionals, who volunteer their time for the mission of the organization. We are headquartered in Minnesota, USA.

One Heart Health is transparent about its financial health as a charity. We provide copies of our most recently filed annual information (IRS Form 990) upon request.
