The World’s First Autonomous Cardiac Ultrasound Device

CORDIS · observation · Publication date unknown

The World’s First Autonomous Cardiac Ultrasound Device The Bed Based Echo is an innovative medical device that uses robotics and artificial intelligence to autonomously perform cardiac ultrasounds. Millions of these ultrasounds are conducted annually across Europe to support diverse clinical needs, all currently performed by trained sonographers or even cardiologists. However, a chronic shortage of these professionals in Europe and other developed countries limits diagnostic capacity and results in long patient waiting times. The Bed Based Echo is the world’s first autonomous cardiac ultrasound device. It was developed with the goal of increasing the capacity of healthcare organizations and shortening patient waiting times. It has reached Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 and is currently undergoing clinical studies involving over 300 patients in four Dutch hospitals. We have developed four machine learning models capable of determining the optimal path and angle for the ultrasound probe, trained with millions o
