Overview

UltraSight Guidance is an innovative AI-driven software designed to empower healthcare professionals, regardless of their sonography experience, to acquire high-quality cardiac ultrasound images. The software provides real-time guidance and quality assessment, simplifying the complex process of echocardiography. By overlaying intuitive graphic instructions on the ultrasound screen, it guides users on probe positioning and movement in three dimensions (X, Y, and Z axes) to achieve diagnostic-quality images of 10 standard cardiac views. This technology aims to increase access to timely and accurate cardiac imaging in various care settings, from emergency departments and critical care units to out-of-hospital and remote locations, ultimately supporting faster diagnosis and improved patient outcomes.

What Physicians Need to Know

Echocardiography AI Features
UltraSight Guidance provides real-time AI-driven guidance for acquiring 10 standard cardiac ultrasound views, including Parasternal Long-Axis, Parasternal Short-Axis (at Aortic Valve, Mitral Valve, Papillary Muscle), Apical (4-Chamber, 5-Chamber, 2-Chamber, 3-Chamber), and Subcostal (4-Chamber, Inferior Vena Cava). It offers a 3D guidance user interface with continuous real-time feedback on probe position and movement (X, Y, and Z axes) and magnitude, helping users achieve diagnostic-quality images. The system includes an image quality bar that continuously updates, instructing users to capture images once a quality threshold is met. Studies show that novice users, after minimal training, can acquire diagnostic-quality images comparable to expert sonographers, with high interpretability and accuracy for various cardiac assessments.
Heart Failure Risk Prediction
The AI platform has demonstrated potential in the early detection of Stage B heart failure, with a 95% negative predictive value for identifying patients with Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) below 50%. It also shows 100% sensitivity for detecting LVEF below 40% in cardio-oncology patients, with 98.8% agreement with expert echocardiography. Additionally, a deep learning model can estimate Left Ventricular Enlargement (LVE) from novice-acquired scans with diagnostic accuracy equivalent to expert interpretation.
Cardiac Monitoring Integration
UltraSight's Real-Time Guidance software is designed to optimize and streamline cardiac monitoring and other clinical workflows, enabling non-sonographers to achieve consistent, diagnostic-quality ultrasound. It supports timely diagnoses, more efficient workflows, and scalable cardiovascular screening strategies. The PVAD IQ tool, integrated with the UltraSight Echosystem, is an FDA-cleared, AI-enabled imaging tool specifically designed to strengthen and standardize bedside pump position assessment in critical care.
Real-Time Alert Capability
The system provides continuous real-time guidance and movement tracking, offering detailed, specific, and responsive instructions to the user on how to maneuver the ultrasound probe. It includes a 'Quality Bar' that indicates image diagnosability, and users are instructed to 'Hold position' and record a clip once optimal image quality is achieved.
Physician Tip

UltraSight Guidance empowers healthcare professionals, including those without prior sonography experience, to acquire high-quality cardiac ultrasound images at the point of care. This can significantly expand access to diagnostic imaging, accelerate clinical decision-making, and streamline workflows in various settings like emergency departments, critical care, and outpatient clinics. While the AI provides real-time guidance for image acquisition, it's crucial for physicians to independently review saved video clips and apply experienced clinical judgment for diagnosis, as individual patient variations may introduce errors.

UltraSight Guidance is designed as an accessory to compatible general-purpose diagnostic ultrasound systems, including handheld, laptop, and cart-based systems. It has been integrated with devices like the Philips Lumify Ultrasound System. The platform supports efficient onboarding and activation within existing clinical workflows, allowing health systems to deploy the technology across their current ultrasound fleets without requiring new hardware. Studies have also explored its combined use with AI-enabled electrocardiography (AI-ECG) to further enhance diagnostic accuracy for structural heart disease.
