From its heady unicorn days to being newly public to its current financial struggles, the portable ultrasound-on-a-chip company has seen it all. Now, its latest CEO has his work cut out for him. A return to revenue growth is what Joseph DeVivo is promising this year.
Butterfly Network recently launched an AI tool that can provide medical practitioners with an accurate B-line count from just a six-second lung ultrasound clip. By automatically counting B-lines in a lung image, the tool helps doctors quickly identify and assess a patient's lung issues at the point of care.
As technology advances, AI-powered tools will increasingly reduce the administrative burdens on healthcare providers.
By making documentation and images easily transferrable immediately after the imaging is performed, clinician workflow can be simplified. With modern point-of-care ultrasound workflows, healthcare providers can easily share patient information and provide optimal care.
With a window into human body in real-time, next generation of ultrasound devices thwarts challenges of economic efficiency, geographic limits to care and ineffective training.
Exo recently partnered with Henry Ford Health to validate its software platform for point-of-care ultrasounds. The health system's physicians will work with the company to increase the platform's ease of use, as well as commercialize the mobile ultrasound device Exo is developing.
Startup iSono Health said its FDA-cleared automated imaging system will make personalized whole breast imaging more accessible to women worldwide and could help improve breast cancer diagnosis.
Executives from Imagine360, Verily, BrightInsight, Lantern, and Rhapsody shared their approaches to reducing healthcare costs and facilitating digital transformation.
A study from the New England Journal of Medicine found that AI coupled with Butterfly iQ, a handheld ultrasound device, can assess fetal gestational age as accurately as a trained sonographer with expensive, bulky equipment; the findings have implications for democratizing obstetric ultrasounds.
In this episode, I speak with John Martin, chief medical officer of Butterfly Network about how it is trying to transform the practice of medicine through a handheld ultrasound probe and data platform.
Point-of-care ultrasound is increasingly being used in out-of-hospital emergency settings, or pre-hospital care settings. It can be used in doctor’s offices, remotely in rural areas, during global health and disaster situations, military, and battlefield assessments – even in outer space.
Butterfly Network previewed its Tele-Guidance technology at the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) Convention in New York City.
Closing cancer health equity gaps require medical breakthroughs made possible by new funding approaches.
