Heart failure is the number one cause of hospitalization in people over 65 and projected to rise 50% across the next 25 years. The 5 year mortality rate for patients with HF is 43%. HF diagnosis is often missed in primary care. Point-of-care testing using AI echo and NT-proBNP could democratize HF screening beyond hospital…

New research led by the University of Dundee, demonstrated the feasibility of AI to automatically identify and classify patients with heart failure from archived echocardiographic images with Us2.ai software. Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent yet under-diagnosed condition with high mortality and morbidity. Echocardiography is a foundational investigation to diagnose HF and differentiate the types of HF i.e. HF with reduced (HFrEF), mildly reduced (HFmrEF)…

Us2.ai automatically generates clinically relevant and reproducible quantitative echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) measurements, eliminating human intra-operator variability and reducing analysis time, as reported in Nature Communications. A study presented at ACC.24 aimed to assess the effectiveness of Us2.ai when utilizing ultrasound enhancing agents. The results indicated a strong agreement between human interpretations and AI, validating…

Manual interpretation of echocardiographic data is time-consuming and operator-dependent. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), there is a growing interest in its potential to streamline echocardiographic interpretation and reduce variability. This study published in The Journal of Echocardiography aimed to compare the time taken for measurements by AI to that by human experts. “Our…

Each year, RHD kills nearly 400,000 people globally. Experts at Children’s National Hospital deployed algorithms on the Us2.ai platform to detect early-stage RHD with the same accuracy as a cardiologist. “AI will tell you to move (the probe) left or right to get the ideal picture… Even more importantly, we’ve developed technology that can tell…

The CUMIN study and implications for global healthcare, published in European Heart Journal Digital Health. “The study’s findings have broader implications, especially for healthcare systems facing resource constraints. The feasibility demonstrated in detecting cardiac dysfunction through AI-POCUS, even with novice operators, suggests a scalable and cost-effective solution. This could potentially reshape the landscape of HF…
