About Vicor Technologies, Inc.
Vicor Technologies is a development-stage biotechnology company creating innovative non-invasive diagnostics employing its patented, proprietary point correlation dimension algorithm (PD2i.) The PD2i is a deterministic, non-linear measure that analyzes electrophysiological potentials to predict future pathological events with a high degree of accuracy in target populations. Vicor currently has three products employing the PD2i algorithm. The PD2i Analyzer, now in commercialization, measures heart rate variability. The PD2i VS (Vital Sign), in clinical trials under a collaborative effort with the U.S. Army Institute for Surgical Research (http://www.usaisr.amedd.army.mil/), risk stratifies combat and civilian trauma victims. The PD2i CA (Cardiac Analyzer), currently involved in multiple clinical trials, identifies patients at risk of suffering sudden cardiac death. Vicor anticipates additional applications employing the PD2i to enable early detection and risk stratification for a variety of other disorders and diseases.
