About Us
Our Story
YourHeartCheck.com was founded in 2024 to blend the latest in AI Analysis with Human CardioVascular performance.
Working with Digital & Future Technologies Limited in the UK, YourHeartCheck.com has built our technologies using AI algorithms trained on over 110,000 people’s data.
Our ground breaking BPI algorithm estimates your blood pressure every ten heartbeats and leverages sports science expertise to assess rest, recovery and performance.
By combining multiple best in class algorithms, YourHeartCheck.com offers the most comprehensive 3-day analysis of your heart’s performance available.
Our diverse team, includes former Formula 1 engineers, personnel, cardiologists, space medicine experts, data analysts, and developers. It has taken the team, ten years, numerous grants, trials, certifications to develop this groundbreaking solution for analysing your heart’s 24-hour performance.
The BPI Algorithm was inspired by McLaren Team doctor, Dr Aki Hintsa, who recognised the need to analyse heart performance throughout the entire 24-cycle, not just at a single point. His holistic approach to well-being and performance focused on optimising physical health, mental resilience, and personal balance.
Our Science
“Back in 2008, we were taking 150 channels of telemetry data off an F1 car in near real time and using complex analysis to gain performance gains of 0.1 second and I sat there and wondered whether we could do the same for Human performance.”
“Talking to Dr Aki Hintsa, the McLaren team doctor, back in the day, I realised that we needed to start analysing our hearts performance, not just there and then, but throughout the whole 24-hour circadian cycle.”
“We have combined not only our own AI, but all the algorithms of use into one single solution, which enables us to develop the most comprehensive analysis of your heart’s performance over three days.”

YourHeartCheck.com was founded by Dr Chris Crockford.
Crockford is a twice failed Astronaut, having taken part in multiple rounds of the European Space Agency‘s Astronaut recruitment selection programmes in both 2008 and 2021. He is not a medical doctor but holds a PhD in Geospatial Rendering Systems, and an MBA specialising in Corporate Strategy.
Crockford became interested in human physiology after taking part in the Cauldwell Extreme Everest expedition in 2007, where he met Professor Hugh Montgomery and Dr Sundeep Dhillon as he took part as a test subject, being tested daily for his physiological performance at altitude as he ascended up to Everest Base Camp and beyond.
For the 2008 through 2010 he worked as Business Development Director for McLaren F1. During this time, he furthered his interest in human physiology and performance, working with team doctor Aki Hintsa to fully comprehend the circadian rhythm cycle and its impact. He was the named inventor on multiple patents for McLaren, exploiting the tacit knowledge within Formula 1 regarding human telemetry.
He left McLaren to develop a medical device coupled with a screening programme for the detection of Atrial Fibrillation in mass populations. He has published on the subject of proactive mass screening for cardiac arrhythmias in multiple journals and conference papers and led the UK SLAF2 trial developing the next generation of cardio and vascular performance monitoring.
