Cardiac Imaging Solutions
Cardiac imaging, delivered at the patient's home.
In-home imaging with centralized cardiology interpretation, national coverage, and centralized coordination, for clinical trials and post-approval programs including REMS.
Imaging where the patient is
When cardiac imaging is needed for a clinical trial or post-approval program, including REMS, Hawthorne's national network of cardiac imaging specialists and centralized cardiology readers can help. Conducting imaging at the patient's home or another local setting helps overcome patient access barriers and the costly study or prescription delays that come with them. Backed by a credentialed, centralized national network of cardiologist readers, we provide fast, convenient, and high-quality imaging to support your program.
Proven at national scale
A 3,000-participant national prevalence study whose echocardiograms were performed in participants’ homes, in all 50 states.
Hawthorne Health supported the Cardiovascular Research Foundation on PREVUE-VALVE. We contacted eligible individuals to obtain informed consent and schedule the study procedures, and our sonographers performed the echocardiograms in participants’ homes, in all 50 states, to the core laboratory’s acquisition protocol.
An independent research organization (Hawthorne Health) then contacted eligible individuals to obtain informed consent and schedule the study procedures.
PREVUE-VALVE, Methods
Earlier prevalence studies drew on people who already had a clinical reason for an echocardiogram, or who were well enough to travel to a medical facility. This one went to the participants instead, and the authors conclude it establishes the feasibility of large-scale decentralized cardiovascular imaging.

What the solution supports
Imaging where the patient is, read by credentialed cardiologists.
- Completing cardiac imaging in the patient's home, eliminating the need to travel
- Rapid image read and interpretation by credentialed cardiologists across all 50 states
- Documentation and reporting of adverse events
- Reduced administrative complexity through centralized coordination
How it works
One workflow from patient intake through final interpretation.
- Centralized patient intake, scheduling, and coordination
- Sonographers deployed based on proximity and specialty across all 50 states
- Standardized imaging protocols and visit workflows
- Cardiologist over-read and final interpretation for adults and pediatrics
- Structured reporting aligned to study or program requirements
Imaging is delivered in the patient's home or other local setting as required. All visits operate under one contract and one project management structure.
Capabilities
Standardized reads. Centralized accountability. A national in-home imaging network.
Cardiac interpretation
Standardized reads. Centralized accountability.
Accurate, standardized interpretation is critical to cardiac endpoints and safety monitoring. Hawthorne supports cardiac reading through a national network of cardiologists with adult and pediatric expertise.
- Echocardiogram interpretation (2D, color Doppler, spectral Doppler)
- Electrocardiogram (EKG) interpretation
- Vascular study interpretation where required
- Pediatric and adult cardiology expertise
- Structured reporting aligned to study requirements and defined turnaround expectations
Imaging data is collected through standardized workflows and routed to qualified cardiologists by state and specialty. Centralized reading is designed to reduce interpretation variability across sites and geographies, a common weak point in multi-site and at-home imaging.
Cardiac imaging execution
A national in-home imaging network, deployed where patients are.
Hawthorne delivers in-home cardiac imaging through experienced sonographers deployed across the country. Imaging is performed in the patient's home or other local settings, depending on program or study design and patient needs.
- Echocardiography including 2D imaging, color Doppler, and spectral Doppler
- Electrocardiogram (EKG) assessments
- Custom imaging assessments aligned to protocol requirements
- Pediatric and adult imaging capabilities
Network strength
- Nationwide coverage reaching patients in urban and remote locations
- Sonographers matched by geography, experience, and specialty
- Centralized scheduling and standardized imaging protocols
- Flexible deployment aligned to study demand
Access to imaging is often the limiting factor in cardiac studies. Expanding where and how imaging is delivered helps maintain timelines while supporting patient participation and consistent image quality.
Structured like a clinical visit, delivered at home
Appointments scheduled around the patient, imaging conducted in a familiar environment.
REMS imaging support
When imaging is easier to complete, patients stay on therapy.
REMS programs depend on consistent completion of required imaging to keep patients eligible for therapy and meet regulator commitments. When imaging is delayed or inconvenient for the patient to access, patients are more likely to fall out of compliance. Hawthorne makes required imaging easier to complete while maintaining a consistent, auditable process.

Achieved, January to July 2026
Care is delivered in the home but structured like a clinical visit. Appointments are scheduled around patient availability, imaging is conducted in a familiar environment, and reduced travel supports continued participation and progression through REMS requirements. Visit volume has exceeded forecast across multiple periods, with repeat utilization from prescribers and patients. Turnaround covers 346 reports delivered January to July 2026, excluding patient-directed visits. Visit counts are complete through August 2026; later months are still filling.
