Dr. Jasper Tromp led an economic evaluation of AI-assisted LVEF assessment in Singapore. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐀𝐈-𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭-𝐨𝐟-𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 — 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐚 💰𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠💰 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐜 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞.

Published in ESC Heart Failure, the study looked at the cost of AI-assisted LVEF assessment using https://t.co/LR5so3R0R3, performed by novices, versus standard sonographer-led echocardiography in Singapore.

Same diagnostic accuracy. Significantly lower cost.

Dr. Tromp, Assistant Professor at the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, National University of Singapore, shares what this means for healthcare systems where echocardiographic capacity is limited and heart failure is on the rise.

We are proud to have https://t.co/LR5so3R0R3 as the AI echo software featured in this work!

At the heart of everything we do is a simple mission: make echocardiography analysis more accurate, more efficient and more accessible for clinicians and patients around the world.

"The gain that you get, the reduction of error in reducing variability of day to day measurements doesn't even speak to the other benefits of using an AI echo platform like this, and the efficiency gains in throughput in a lab, is incredibly amazing." – Dr. Ken Stein

If you are new to https://t.co/LR5so3R0R3 or just curious about what we are building, this is the best place to start.

https://t.co/LR5so3Qt1v is proud to be a partner in the landmark TARTAN-HF trial which showed that a widely available NT-proBNP blood test, followed by an echo scan, changed everything.

✅ 1 in 4 screened patients diagnosed compared to 1% in usual care.
✅ 55% reduction in hospitalisation or death.

The evidence is here. Now health systems need to act.

4 weeks. That's all it took for Bordeaux University Hospital to go fully live with AI echo.

894 echos. 31 parameters. ICC up to 0.97.

Peer-reviewed. GDPR compliant. No VPN. No disruption.

Stop making measurements manually!

Sonographers face a real physical toll: neck pain, back pain, shoulder strain from scanning and manual measurements all day, when that time and energy could go toward what they were trained for: critical thinking, better imaging, and better patient outcomes.

https://t.co/LR5so3Qt1v and Merge built this integration specifically to give that time back.

Here's how it works:
✅ Sonographer scans the patient
✅ https://t.co/LR5so3Qt1v's FDA-cleared AI processes the echo in the background
✅ Results appear natively inside Merge Cardio, no extra clicks, no extra logins
✅ By the time the patient is seen out, the measurements are already done

Think of it like CarPlay. The AI runs seamlessly in the background, without changing how clinicians work. No new systems to learn, no extra steps. Just switch it on and the results are already there.

The result? Faster workflows. Healthier echo techs. Better patient care.

#ACC26 is a wrap and what a weekend it was! 🙌

We are so grateful to our partners @Merative, @viz_ai, and @FujifilmHealth for generously hosting us at their booths throughout the conference. Being able to show our solution live to clinicians on the ground is always a highlight and this year was no exception.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to learn more about what we are building. The conversations, the curiosity, and the enthusiasm from the echo community means everything to us. This is exactly why we do what we do.

The interest in AI-powered echocardiography continues to grow and weekends like this remind us just how much momentum this space has. We are grateful to be part of it.

Missed us this time? Do not fret! We will be on the road again soon. Follow us to be notified the next time we come to a city near you 🌍!

https://t.co/LR5so3Qt1v's echocardiography AI algorithm will be integrated into a new ATTR-CM care initiative led by @Alnylam in partnership with @viz_ai !

@Alnylam is partnering with @viz_ai, the leader in AI-powered disease detection and care coordination, to develop an AI-enabled ATTR-CM care pathway designed to help clinicians identify patients earlier and guide appropriate diagnostic evaluation and referral.

The pathway combines https://t.co/LR5so3Qt1v's FDA-cleared echocardiography AI with EHR connectivity and integration into routine clinical practice to support earlier recognition of ATTR-CM and facilitate coordinated care across cardiology and heart failure teams.

We are proud that our solution will play a role in getting more patients diagnosed earlier, when it matters most.

💡 We know that bringing new technology into a health system takes more than clinical buy-in.

That's why we've built out dedicated IT & Procurement resources on the new website, everything your technical and procurement teams need to evaluate, plan, and move forward with confidence.

We've tried to make the process as smooth as possible.

➡️ AUC 0.93 | 88.5% sensitivity | 87.2% specificity
➡️ Robust performance across age, sex, race, amyloid subtype and echo vendor
➡️ Consistently differentiates CA from other hypertrophic phenotypes including HCM, aortic stenosis, hypertension and CKD
➡️ Full report generated in 68 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐬
