Bay
Labs, a medical technology company at the forefront of applying
artificial intelligence (AI) to cardiovascular imaging, today announced
that new data on the company’s first-of-its-kind deep learning
investigational guidance software will be presented at the upcoming
American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) 30th Annual Scientific
Sessions, June 21-25, at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland,
Oregon.
Echocardiography is the most widely used cardiac imaging modality but
access to echo in point-of-care settings is often limited because it
requires specialized skills to perform. Bay Labs has developed unique
guidance software which uses artificial intelligence to aid in the
acquisition of echocardiograms. The Bay Labs technology is designed to
provide both non-specialist and specialist health care providers with
real-time guidance to obtain ten standard echocardiographic views and
designed to be integrated into an ultrasound machine. First-time data
will be presented which compares the diagnostic quality of
echocardiograms obtained by registered nurses (RNs) with limited
training using Bay Labs technology, to the images obtained by a trained
cardiac sonographer. Bay Labs guidance software is for investigational
use only and not for sale.
“Evaluation of a Deep-Learning Model Designed to Aid Novice Scanners
in Obtaining Diagnostic Quality Echocardiograms” will be presented
by Dr. Akhil Narang of Northwestern Memorial Hospital during the
Advancing the Echo Field: From Abstracts to JASE Session on Sunday, June
23, from 1:15 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. PT.
