Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of Ultromics, Professor Paul Leeson, adds: "The key is to handle as few pieces of medical kit as possible, and to use fully automated solutions that are interoperable. With EchoGo, the entire diagnosis pathway is streamlined and can be completed within minutes, allowing clinicians to treat more patients. The additional benefits of standardization and reduced variability in measurements across vendors limits the expense and risk involved in reimaging or further testing."
Dr Upton concludes: "In the area of ultrasound, with the need to make medical imaging as safe as possible, every second counts (quite literally) and full AI automation is arguably the best way to achieve this. It will help build patient (and clinician) confidence that time spent in hospital appointments, at possible risk of exposure to the virus, will be significantly reduced, and contact with equipment that could be open to cross-infection, kept to a minimum.

"What is needed now is a willingness to embrace the enforced acceleration by COVID-19 of new ways of working. The opportunity now is to embrace the potential offered by AI to not only ease the current difficulties in the planning of healthcare delivery, but to also significantly improve patient outcomes."
Ultromics is a global health technology firm which provides autonomous echocardiography analysis through innovative AI solutions - empowering physicians to make fast, accurate decisions when diagnosing cardiovascular disease. We have developed the first fully automated solution for echocardiography and strain analysis. The revolutionary platform, EchoGo, is a cloud-based AI service which delivers analysis to any vendor within minutes and with zero variability through its zero-click, full automation workflow.
Our technology was born at the University of Oxford and built in partnership with the NHS and has since raised over £20 million to help bring diagnostic quality to hospitals, improve patient care, and help make valuable resource and cost savings. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality, with an estimated 17 million deaths each year.
