Clinical AI Division
Focuses on developing deep learning-based algorithms to make ultrasound machines smarter and more accessible. Products in the market include:
ScanNav Assist
ScanNav Assist uses machine-learning-based algorithms to automatically identify and grade ultrasound images. GE Healthcare’s SonoLyst software on their Voluson SWIFT ultrasound machine incorporates the ScanNav Assist AI technology and has received CE and FDA regulatory approval. SonoLyst is the world’s first fully integrated AI tool that recognizes the 20 views recommended by the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology mid-trimester practice guidelines for fetal imaging.
ScanNav Anatomy
ScanNav Anatomy PNB uses machine-learning-based algorithms to simplify ultrasound-guided needling by providing the user with real-time AI-based anatomy highlighting software for a range of medical procedures. ScanNav Anatomy has received CE approval and has also been submitted for FDA regulatory approval.
ScanNav Anatomy PNB is therefore not available for sale in the US or any other territory requiring government approval for this type of product.
