URMC officials said they expect to roll out Butterfly Blueprint™ and begin educating employees this summer, and will begin providing the company’s handheld imaging units this fall to second-and third-year medical students, UR Medicine primary care providers, and UR Medicine Home Care nurses. In future planned phases, URMC and Butterfly Network expect to pursue multiple research projects to explore and validate the use of Butterfly Blueprint™ across the enterprise. Innovative image analysis, AI, and clinical pathways will be major aspects of research. Clinical areas of focus will include education and curriculum for point-of-care ultrasound, the creation of encounter-based workflows, development of best practices for system deployment, infrastructure integration, compliance, quality assurance, and three-dimensional procedural guidance.
