🏆 2025 Winner Spotlight: CardioStory Inc.

The 2025 AI in Critical Care Award was proudly presented to CardioStory Inc., led by co-founder Shawn Zhuang, during the 3CT Workshop at the Embassy of France in Washington, DC.

Shawn shared: “The 3CT workshop is an excellent opportunity for in-depth discussions on ICU care among industry partners, physicians, and regulatory experts.
