Company profile
researched Sep 2026Empallo is a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based virtual heart clinic that delivers cardiology care by video visit. Its cardiac specialists diagnose and manage arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, dysautonomia, heart failure, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, valvular heart disease and related cardiometabolic conditions such as obesity, combining lifestyle guidance, medication management and, where required, coordinated in-person procedures and referrals.
The clinic pairs telehealth consultations with diagnostics logistics: some tests, including Holter/heart-rhythm monitoring and in-home sleep apnea studies, are shipped directly to patients, while bloodwork, EKG, echocardiography, stress tests, CT and MRI are ordered at local labs and imaging centers, with results returned to Empallo for interpretation and follow-up. It also requests records from primary providers, places pharmacy medication orders and supplies durable medical equipment such as CPAP machines, and is building a referral network state by state.
According to founder Claire Beskin, Empallo built a proprietary electronic health record and patient portal but sells a clinical service rather than software; automation of scheduling, billing and referrals is intended to allow appointments within days and visits 30% to 50% longer than at traditional practices. An earlier American Heart Association description characterized Empallo as an AI-powered virtual clinic focused on heart failure that shifts a portion of medication-titration work from cardiologists to advanced practice providers, nurses and software.
