BrightHeart
FDA-cleared AI for expert-level fetal heart screening in prenatal ultrasound
About BrightHeart
BrightHeart is a Paris medtech company founded in October 2022 from the clinical insight of fetal cardiologists Dr Marilyne Levy and Dr Bertrand Stos, with CEO Cécile Dupont (Sofinnova Partners). Its B-Right AI Platform embeds expert-level fetal-heart screening into routine obstetric ultrasound—guiding views, checking exam completeness and flagging structural abnormalities suggestive of congenital heart defects (CHD)—without forcing clinicians to change how they scan. The company cites multiple FDA 510(k) clearances, peer-reviewed clinical evidence and detection performance above 96% in validated settings, addressing historically low prenatal CHD detection rates. After a €2 million Sofinnova seed in 2023, in January 2026 BrightHeart raised an €11 million Series A co-led by Odyssée Venture and GO Capital, with Sofinnova Partners, Mussallem CHD Alliance, Lift Value, IDAHO HealthTech Club via Side Angels and clinician angels, to commercialise in the US and expand across Europe.
