"Many medical residents have entered the healthcare field since the pandemic; however, being able to provide them with the necessary hands-on training and supervision has become challenging for many European emergency departments looking to adopt point of care ultrasound," said Prof. Salvatore Di Somma, MD, PhD, Director of Emergency Medicine and Chairman of the Postgraduate School of Emergency Medicine at the Department of Medical-Surgery Sciences and Translational Medicine University of Sapienza in Rome, Italy. "Supporting new ultrasound users with AI guidance, such as UltraSight's AI guidance software, would increase efficiencies and expedite the learning curve while also reducing the time for obtaining good echocardiographic imaging in the Emergency Room, opening resources for experienced staff to respond to other acute needs."
"Point of care ultrasound can be a very useful tool for Intensive Care Unit physicians. Some key hemodynamic measurements, such as Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Velocity Time Integral (LVOT VTI), provide invaluable help to guide fluid therapy. However, some physicians are still reluctant to use it because they consider this measurement a competence reserved for advanced ultrasound operators," said Professor Bernard Cholley, ICU Department Head at the Hôpital Européen Georges Pompidou, Paris, France. "When introduced to UltraSight's AI guidance software, we were very compelled by the prospect of AI supporting more healthcare providers, including novice ultrasound users, to acquire a cardiac ultrasound view by which the LVOT VTI can be measured accurately for a reliable measurement and optimized patient care."

The UltraSight AI Guidance software is indicated for use in two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2D-TTE) for adult patients. It is intended to assist medical professionals in performing cardiac ultrasound scans. UltraSight AI Guidance software is an accessory to compatible general-purpose diagnostic ultrasound systems and is intended to be used by medical professionals who have received UltraSight's training as described in the user manual.
The UltraSight software is expected to become available in Europe in 2023.
