About the Company:

Our mission, in a single line, is to help people live longer and healthier lives. This mission defines and guides everything we do and everything that we hope to do:). Our aim is not only to expand lifespans, but more importantly, to expand health spans, by enabling people to live life of the quality that they desire.

Prior to the 21st century, the three traditional frontiers were considered to be land, sea and air. We believe that the most important frontier in the 21st century is the human body itself, and therefore the focus of our company is to look inwards, into the human body - which for us is the Fourth Frontier.

We have picked heart health as our primary focus area, since cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality across the globe. Despite its importance, affordable products and services to monitor and improve heart health from the comfort of your home have not been available to consumers. Fourth Frontier is committed to solving this important problem.
