The DVT pathway delays in the @NHSuk results are sobering. Across the UK, the fastest diagnostic pathway takes 7.5 hours while the slowest is 12.5 days 🤯
@ThinkSono does it in less than 30min.

The NHS DVT Waiting Time Crisis: FOI data reveals patients wait an average of 2.4 days for a DVT diagnosis — with some trusts taking over 12 days. Every undiagnosed DVT risks pulmonary embolism. https://t.co/7bM7PBBpz4
@ThinkSono is not just another AI company. DVT/PE is not something that we can ignore. We'll keep working to make DVT ultrasound accessible everywhere.

Major milestone for @ThinkSono . Life saving technology and great example of AI can improve our society .
Congrats @FouadAlNoor1 and team. @id4vc proud investor 🦾
Proud moment for all of us at @ThinkSono ! we’ve received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation 🎉
DVT and pulmonary embolism affect up to 900,000 people in the U.S. each year, with tens of thousands of lives lost annually.
@ThinkSono will change this. Watch this space 👀

Just found out, at one @NHSuk hospital, the average waiting time for a DVT ultrasound diagnosis is 96 hours 🤯
For context, @NICEComms guidelines state it should be done within 4 hours.
@ThinkSono is able to provide a result in less than 30 min. Let's scale this!
This is @ThinkSono performance!
With one of our UK hospital partners, we've managed to safely triage more than 50% of all suspected DVT patients out of the hospital and into the community.
There is no going back now the technology will be expanded across the UK (the world)!
@ThinkSono, a UK startup I backed early, just raised another $6M.
They're building #AI that helps nurses perform point-of-care #ultrasound.
This isn’t just another decision support tool, it's a bold rethink of care delivery.
Faster diagnosis. Lower costs. Huge potential. 🚀
We're pleased to say that ThinkSono's AI paper has been highlighted in the editorial at npj Digital Medicine!

I'm happy to announce that @ThinkSono has added @UWHealth, @UWEmerMed as an additional site to our FDA trial!
Special thanks to @hanikuttab, @Matt_VandeHei, Dr. Collin Michels and the rest of the team

Vascular surgeons at AGH are pioneering AI-assisted cardiovascular care as part of a @ThinkSono clinical trial for patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This smartphone-integrated system enables faster diagnosis and treatment. Learn more: https://t.co/W7xHuM9ARl
I'm very excited to announce that @ThinkSono UK clinical trial results have now been published in @Nature_NPJ ! This study is based on data from "ADVENT" a multi-centre, prospective, double blinded clinical trial that covers 11 sites with 381 patients!
1. The results show high sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic quality data when reviewed by radiologists and emergency physicians (trained in ultrasound).
2. The data also suggests safely avoiding duplex ultrasound by an expert in 29-50% of all patients (depending on the reviewer).
3. The health economics show cost savings up to £208 per AI scan (depending on the reviewer).
We will continue to deploy ThinkSono Guidance with additional safeguards in the real-world (more on that soon).
As a company we aim to publish ALL papers (good and bad) for full transparency and will continue to build the must rigorously tested AI medical technology on the planet. That's what it takes to change medicine and improve patient care.
Thank you to all hospital partners who have helped us so far and of course all the patients who participated in our clinical trials!

It was a privilege to attend Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer AI Reception at @10DowningStreet yesterday. I spoke to the secretary to @wesstreeting about @ThinkSono 's potential to transform care for patients.
The UK has immense potential when it comes to healthcare AI. We have the the regulatory framework, talent, research infrastructure and deep understanding of how to integrate care across the country. However, we also have some structural issues when it comes to commercialisation and scale.
I believe that ThinkSono can become a national case study on how to deploy Healthcare AI in a safe, effective and practical way to lower costs and improve patient outcomes. I look forward to continuing the conversation with the UK Government.
Special thanks to @Dom_Hallas, @matthewclifford and
@StartupCltn for ensuring the UK's tech startups are represented at the highest levels in the UK.
I will be speaking at @SuperReturn in Dubai tomorrow on Healthtech: revolutionising the future of medicine! Companies like @ThinkSono are the future of healthcare and @id4vc we are proud to support them.
In you are attending, feel free to reach out!
Today is World Thrombosis Day!
It's a huge worldwide issue where 1 in 4 people die from conditions related to thrombosis. It is caused by a blood clot in the leg (DVT) which can lead to a pulmonary embolism (PE) and death.
