AI-Powered Heart Ultrasound — When Time Is Critical
Empower emergency, critical care, and anesthesia teams to act faster, with confidence — and at scale
Real-time decisions demand real-time tools.
Cardiac ultrasound is essential in acute care — but access, time, and expertise remain major barriers:
Emergency departments face high-volume cardiopulmonary cases with limited ultrasound training
Chest pain, shortness of breath and hypotension represents 10% of ED visits per year 1-3
ICUs manage shock, heart failure, and hemodynamic instability — but lack round-the-clock echo coverage
Shock affects ~30–50% of ICU patients
ORs (Operating Room) teams need immediate insights during procedures, sometimes dealing with hypotension, arrhythmia, or arrest — without a sonographer on hand
