BRISBANE, Calif., March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Caption Health today announced that it has been named by Fierce Medtech as one of 2020’s Fierce 15, designating it as one of the most promising private companies in the industry.
Caption Health’s flagship product Caption AI is the first and only AI-guided medical imaging acquisition software to obtain FDA clearance, expanding access to quality diagnostic imaging for patients and providers alike. Caption AI includes Caption Guidance™ and Caption Interpretation™, which provide real-time guidance, automated quality assessment and intelligent interpretation capabilities to enable medical professionals—even those without prior ultrasound experience—to perform diagnostic-quality cardiac ultrasound exams at the point of care.
Caption AI is quickly becoming the new standard in point-of-care ultrasound for timely diagnosis and patient management across clinical settings. A leader in clinical validation of AI, Caption Health’s groundbreaking study demonstrating Caption Guidance’s effectiveness and supporting its landmark FDA authorization was published in JAMA Cardiology last month. As Caption Health continues to innovate on its cardiac ultrasound platform, the company is also expanding to AI-guided lung ultrasound through a recent $4.95 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
“2020 was an exceptional year for Caption Health, and we are proud to be a part of this year’s Fierce 15 class recognizing our efforts in creating, validating, and delivering to medical professionals and patients a solution for one of healthcare’s most pressing problems: access to quality care,” said Charles Cadieu, CEO and co-founder of Caption Health. “Congratulations to the other members of this year’s class!”
The Fierce 15 celebrates the spirit of being “fierce”—championing innovation and creativity, even in the face of intense competition. This is Fierce Medtech’s 9th annual Fierce 15 selection. This year’s full list of winners can be viewed online here.
