Solving early disease detection with AI
Our AI technology enables healthcare providers to perform high-quality ultrasound exams wherever and whenever patients need them — regardless of their familiarity with ultrasound.
Ultrasound is a safe, highly effective diagnostic tool — but it can be difficult to master, takes years of specialized training to learn, and image quality can vary.
Performing the exam involves unnatural hand-eye coordination and unintuitive visuals. Traditional ultrasound software doesn’t provide instruction on how to move the ultrasound transducer to capture an image, or any real-time feedback on the quality of images being captured. Poor quality images lead to missed opportunities, misdiagnosis, repeat studies, and inconsistent interpretation.
As a result, the true value and benefits of ultrasound have not been fully realized.
Now, with our technology, any healthcare professional can capture diagnostic-quality ultrasound images thanks to AI guiding them through every step of the scanning and image-capture process in real time. The software also automatically assesses image quality and calculates ejection fraction, a key measure of heart health.
The performance of our AI algorithms is clinically validated, from peer-reviewed publications to ongoing clinical trials.
Our technology is fully encrypted and adheres to HIPAA privacy standards. The AI software can be securely downloaded and is regularly updated to ensure data security.
We collaborate with select developers to offer a broad set of best-in-class algorithms that aid in the interpretation of ultrasound images. This reinforces the robustness of our platform and demonstrates our differentiated ability to support early disease detection.
Caption Health’s AI platform scales to a breadth of clinical applications. It is available for the acquisition and interpretation of cardiac ultrasound images, and work is underway to develop AI guidance and interpretation for lung ultrasound.
The Quality Meter shows users in real time how close they are to capturing a diagnostic-quality ultrasound image. The meter rises as the user gets closer to the optimal view, turning green when the image is deemed diagnostic. AutoCapture then records the clip, hands-free.
Caption Guidance emulates the expertise of a sonographer by providing real-time guidance that prompts users to make specific transducer movements to optimize and capture a diagnostic-quality ultrasound image.
Caption Interpretation automatically calculates ejection fraction while scanning from any combination of up to three cardiac views: apical 4-chamber (AP4), apical 2-chamber (AP2), and—an industry first—parasternal long-axis (PLAX).
Users have the flexibility to create and follow a customizable indication-based or workflow-based protocol of ultrasound views. While scanning, users can easily skip to the view they need.
Begin every exam with a probe positioning diagram indicating where to place the ultrasound transducer. A reference image provides a visual example of what to look for while scanning.
The software continuously keeps track of the best images seen during each scanning session so the highest-quality image from each view is automatically captured. Users have the freedom to explore each view with the reassurance that they can always access the best two-second clip from their scan at the touch of a button.
