About
Closing the gap in cardiac technology.
APEC International is a UK engineering and innovation company. We build measurement tools for interventional cardiology, starting with quantitative coronary angiography — a measurement that is still, in most labs, estimated by eye.
Mission
Rigorous, reproducible coronary measurement.
The first tool is APEC Vox QCA: fast, transparent and reproducible AI-assisted coronary quantification that runs locally on standard hospital computers, with no cloud inference and no image leaving the network to be analysed. Today it is a research and validation platform.
It exists for one reason. Coronary angiography has been the reference view of the coronary arteries since 1958, and how narrow a vessel is remains one of the most important things read from it. In routine practice that figure is still an estimate, made by eye, in the lab, under time pressure. Nothing has yet made quantitative measurement fast and transparent enough to be routine. That is the gap APEC Vox QCA is being developed and validated to close.
Our clinical collaboration is with Barts Health NHS Trust, London.
Our story
From engineering to coronary measurement.
APEC International Ltd was founded in May 2022 as a general engineering company. In October 2024 it began deep-tech work in medical applications, with a proposal to Scottish Enterprise: “AI-Enhanced Non-Invasive Estimation of Coronary Artery Diameter in Severe Stenosis for Clinical Integration Across Diverse Populations”. In April 2025 that proposal was awarded a SMART: SCOTLAND grant for an 18-month feasibility study — the programme that became APEC Vox QCA.
