Inventions

Richardson created IntelliPhysician, a piece of software based on the same paperless principles as IntelliHeart, but handles a wider range of business-related processes, such as scheduling, accounts receivable, financial history, and billing. The software also processes insurance claim forms and gathers and stores patients’ clinical data, including procedure and diagnosis history, email, hospital rounds information, and referring physician information.[8]

One of TransWorld Heart Corp.'s inventions is the Soul Mate. This product is an implantable device that can replace routine post-transplant heart biopsies.[9] The Soul Mate was the first device to offer remote monitoring of congestive heat failure and allows physicians to track a patient's condition from home.[10]

In 2007 Richardson developed the SideKick, a system for real-time monitoring of a kidney after a transplant.[11]
