The Opportunity
Regain, Inc. is applying for the ARPA-H ADVOCATE Program—a $50M+ initiative to create the first FDA-authorized agentic AI for cardiovascular care.
The Problem: 46% of US counties lack a cardiologist. 200,000+ Americans die annually from preventable cardiovascular disease.
Our Advantage: Unlike teams proposing to build, we have working software:
- Deutsch (TA1): Clinical CVD agent — 100% core complete
- Popper (TA2): Supervisory safety agent — 100% complete
- Demo ready NOW — software, not slides
We are seeking a Clinical Lead to validate this architecture—a cardiologist who can bridge academic medicine, digital health innovation, and FDA regulatory strategy.
