CMAT Advantage Roadmap—What Physicians Can Expect in 2025 and Beyond

1 | Why Publish a Forward Roadmap Now?

• Stricter screening guidance – The 2024 ACC/AHA PAD guideline urges wider use of automated ABI + PVR in high-risk adults. acc.org
  
• AI regulation is maturing – FDA released draft lifecycle guidance for AI-enabled device software in 2025. fda.gov
  
• Reimbursement is shifting – New Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) codes (99453, 99454, 99457) give clinics another billing on-ramp for physiologic data. thoroughcare.net
  

To keep your clinic future-proof, HealthWright Technologies Inc is publishing its multi-year CMAT Advantage roadmap so you can align capital planning and workflow design well ahead of time.

2 | Roadmap at a Glance

Release Window	Code Name	Key Physician Benefits
2025 · Q3	v5.4 “Cassini”	AI-driven PAD risk scores, central-aortic-pressure (CAP) algorithm, single-tap FHIR® export
2025 · Q4	CMAT-RPM Lite	Passive data upload for CPT 99453/99454 billing; automatic clinician-time tracker for 99457
2026 · H1	v6.0 “Atlas” (major)	12-lead surrogate module, Bluetooth® home-ankle cuff pairing, zero-trust cybersecurity stack
2026 · H2	Data-Hub 2.0	Multi-site analytics dashboard, bulk quality-measure export (MIPS, ACO REACH)
2027 · 2028	“Nova” Series	Cloud-based predictive analytics, patient-facing portal, tele-expert referral API

(Timing reflects current targets; functionality may shift pending FDA clearance and payer rule-making.)

3 | Near-Term (2025) Enhancements in Detail

3.1 v5.4 “Cassini” (ETA September 2025)

Upgrade	What It Means in Clinic
AI PAD-Risk Index	Real-time score that stratifies asymptomatic PAD likelihood, calibrated to FDA January 2025 AI guidance. fda.gov
Central Aortic Pressure (CAP)	CPT cross-walk to 93050 (pending) gives another reimbursable metric without extra cuffs.
FHIR 4.0 Push	One-click export to major EHRs (Epic, Athena, eClinicalWorks) for friction-free documentation.

Why it matters: AI scoring helps satisfy guideline calls for “earlier functional PAD detection.” acc.org

3.2 CMAT-RPM Lite (ETA December 2025)

• At-Home Cuff Kit: Patients perform simplified ankle-brachial measurements; data sync nightly.
  
• Automatic Time Tracking: On-platform stopwatch logs > 20 min interactive time for CPT 99457. ♪thoroughcare.net
  
• Alert Rules Engine: Flags rapid ankle-pressure drops or HRV shifts for same-day callbacks.
  

4 | Medium-Term (2026) Milestones

Feature	Physician Impact
v6.0 “Atlas”	• Surrogate 12-lead (3-wire VCG) overlays PAD & ANS findings for holistic cardio-metabolic view.• Home-ankle cuff pairs via Bluetooth to reduce in-office repeat testing.• Zero-trust security meets evolving FDA cybersecurity pre-market guidance.
Data-Hub 2.0	• Multi-location benchmarking—see which site is leaving CPT dollars unclaimed.• Bulk export for MIPS CQM #418 (screening for psychosocial risk), PAD quality metrics.

5 | Long-Term Vision (2027 – 2028)

1. Predictive Analytics “Nova” Platform
   
   • Uses de-identified cross-practice datasets to forecast 12-month PAD progression.
     
   • Offers pay-for-performance dashboards for VBC contracts.
     
2. Patient Portal & Tele-Expert API
   
   • Patients access color-coded trends; can forward to vascular specialists.
     
   • Clinics bill interprofessional e-consult CPT 99451 without new hardware.
     
3. Expandable Sensor Bus
   
   • Hardware headroom to snap-in photoplethysmography (PPG) finger sensors or skin-temperature probes as reimbursement pathways mature.
     

6 | Compliance & Regulatory Alignment

Rule / Draft Guidance	Roadmap Alignment
FDA AI-Enabled Device Lifecycle Draft (Jan 2025)	Adopts pre-determined change-control plan (PCCP) for AI modules starting v5.4. fda.gov
CY 2025 Physician Fee Schedule	Despite a 2.93 % overall cut, triple-CPT + RPM pathways shield ancillary revenue. cms.govcms.gov
HIPAA & Zero-Trust	v6.0 will ship with device-level encryption and token-based API calls to satisfy updated ONC info-blocking rules.

7 | What Physicians Should Do Now

Next 90 Days	Q4 2025 Planning	2026 Budget Cycle
• Verify your CMAT device is on firmware ≥ v5.3.1.• Enroll staff in 90-min MA certification (free).	• Identify 25 high-risk PAD patients for RPM pilot.• Update EHR interface to accept FHIR Observation resources.	• Allocate capital (or Section 179) for optional CAP sensor.• Add analytics subscription line-item (~$79/device/mo.)

8 | Key Take-Aways

• Guideline-Ready: Roadmap aligns with ACC/AHA calls for earlier PAD detection and comprehensive autonomic assessment. acc.org
• Revenue Resilience: Triple-CPT + RPM codes diversify income ahead of 2025 fee-schedule cuts. thoroughcare.netcms.gov
• AI Future-Proofing: Planned AI modules follow FDA draft lifecycle guidance, ensuring smooth clearance pathways. fda.gov
  

Interoperability First: FHIR® 4.0 and zero-trust APIs keep data flowing—and auditors happy.
