, including in Japan where the burden of cardiovascular disease continues to rise. The introduction of AI-driven, non-invasive physiology represents an important advancement for both clinicians and patients by supporting evidence-based decision-making, reducing procedural complexity, and potentially lowering overall healthcare costs.

With reimbursement now established, AutocathFFR is positioned to play a central role in improving access to advanced CAD assessment throughout Japan . This milestone further strengthens MedHub-AI's strategic collaboration with Terumo Corporation to accelerate adoption and integration of AutocathFFR across hundreds of hospitals nationwide.

Unlike 3D image reconstruction-based physiology technologies that require complex processing, manual steps, and time-consuming analysis, AutocathFFR is fully automated and does not rely on 3D modeling of coronary anatomy. Instead, it applies advanced AI algorithms directly to routine angiographic images, producing physiology results instantly and reproducibly within the procedure.

This unique approach reduces operator dependency, shortens analysis time, and enhances consistency across patients and centers. These advantages make AutocathFFR ideally suited for broad adoption in daily practice, ensuring that physiology assessment is available for every case, not just selected patients.

"Reimbursement approval in Japan represents a major achievement for MedHub-AI and validates the clinical and economic value of AutocathFFR," said . "This milestone underscores our commitment to advancing coronary physiology worldwide and to ensuring that patients and physicians have access to innovative, AI-driven solutions that transform clinical practice."

AutocathFFR is the first fully automated AI-based system that enables real-time, intra-procedural physiology assessment during coronary angiography. The system is:

AutocathFFR has received regulatory approvals in Japan and is part of MedHub-AI's broader global strategy to expand access to AI-driven solutions for cardiovascular care.
