Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a crucial component of healthcare to help augment physicians and make them more efficient. In medical imaging, it is helping radiologists more efficiently manage PACS worklists, enable structured reporting, auto detect injuries and diseases, and to pull in relevant prior exams and patient data. In cardiology, AI is helping automate tasks and measurements on imaging and in reporting systems, guides novice echo users to improve imaging and accuracy, and can risk stratify patients. AI includes deep learning algorithms, machine learning, computer-aided detection (CAD) systems, and convolutional neural networks.

AI identifies signs of COVID-19 in lung ultrasound images

The deep neural network was trained using over 40,000 patient ultrasound images and computer-generated facsimiles made from real scans.

Eko Health, the California-based healthcare technology company known for its advanced stethoscopes, has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a new artificial intelligence (AI) offering designed to detect low ejection fraction (EF).

FDA approves new AI model for detecting signs of heart failure with a stethoscope

Eko Health worked closely with Mayo Clinic to develop and evaluate its latest AI offering. “Importantly, since a stethoscope is small and portable, this technology can be used in urban and remote locations," one clinician said.
