Retia Medical Appoints Bruce Brandes to Strategic Advisory Board
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — June 1, 2026 — Retia Medical, the developer of cardiovascular intelligence software that transforms routine physiologic monitoring data into actionable clinical insight, today announced the appointment of Bruce Brandes to its Strategic Advisory Board.
Brandes is a multi-exit digital health entrepreneur, former President of care.ai, and current CEO of Mindyra. His appointment comes as Retia advances commercialization of Argos Infinity™, its FDA-cleared cardiovascular intelligence platform for continuous hemodynamic insights through existing hospital monitoring infrastructure.
Retia Medical has built significant momentum over the past two years, receiving FDA 510(k) clearance for Argos Infinity in February 2026, initiating deployments across virtual and tele-ICU environments, expanding internationally, and growing annual revenue sixfold.
“Retia has done the hard work that most companies never complete: clinical evidence, FDA clearance, algorithm development, and real-world deployment,” said Brandes. “Argos Infinity represents a genuinely new capability in hemodynamic monitoring, with a non-invasive algorithm in development that could extend that vision to a broader patient population.”
Brandes brings 35 years of experience creating new healthcare technology categories and scaling companies through commercialization, adoption, and successful exits. Most recently, he served as President of care.ai, where he helped pioneer the smart hospital movement and guided the company through its acquisition by Stryker, where he now serves as a Senior Advisor.
His prior roles include Senior Vice President at Livongo and Teladoc Health, where he led integration of the Teladoc, Livongo, and InTouch Health platforms; Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at AirStrip; and executive roles at Valence Health and IBM Health, where he helped drive early adoption of electronic medical records. He currently serves as CEO of Mindyra, a behavioral health predictive analytics and decision-support platform.
“Bruce brings deep commercialization and digital health expertise at exactly the right stage for Retia,” said Marc Zemel, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Retia Medical. “We are pleased to welcome him as we expand the commercial and clinical impact of Argos Infinity.”
