About Us

For too long, advanced heart failure has meant choosing between immense risk and limited quality of life. Corisma was founded to change that. Spun out from the innovative Bonde Artificial Heart Lab at Yale University, we are redefining what’s possible with a fully implanted trans catheter system that aims to make today’s standard of care obsolete. Our mission is to offer a more dignified empowering solution.

Our Story

From Surgical Insight to Technological Innovation

The seed for Corisma was planted in the operating room. Our founder, Dr. Pramod Bonde, a cardiac surgeon at Yale New Haven Hospital, witnessed firsthand the immense trauma of open-heart surgery and the challenges patients faced with existing mechanical circulatory support devices - particularly the life-limiting risk of driveline infections.

Dr. Bonde asked a simple but powerful question: “What if we could support a failing heart without breaking the chest? What if we could eliminate the driveline entirely?”

These questions drove the research in the Bonde Artificial Heart Lab at Yale University. For years, the team explored trans catheter approaches and wireless energy transmission, pioneering the core technologies that world become the Corisma system. Corisma was officially spun out of Yale to translate this groundbreaking academic research into a life-changing commercial product.
