DESKi, a data-driven medtech innovator, has announced the U.S. commercial launch of HeartFocus, its groundbreaking AI-enabled cardiac imaging software. Recently approved by the FDA, HeartFocus is destined to democratize access to quality echocardiography. By letting any healthcare worker, irrespective of specialization, do diagnostic-quality heart ultrasounds after a few hours of training. The software will be first deployed in Butterfly Network's handheld ultrasound devices, which will integrate smoothly with one of the most widely used single-probe and whole-body imaging systems in the U.S.

HeartFocus is a revolutionary approach to delivering cardiac care, as it addresses the long-standing issue of limited access to expert sonographers and long waits in the echocardiography queue. HeartFocus is ensuring that clinicians in health systems, primary care clinics, rural hospitals, and academic institutions are supported. This can quickly and effectively perform reliable cardiac evaluations at the point of care, thanks to its user-friendly AI instructions and proven accuracy. The ability to enable providers with consistent and expert-level imaging assurance will eradicate one of the most significant obstacles to early diagnosis.

Following FDA clearance and successful international clinical trials, HeartFocus is now able to progress from pilot projects to wide-scale commercial use. Clinical validation showed that clinicians with limited training could achieve the same echocardiographic images. The commercial launch of DESKi is a pivotal milestone for DESKi, as it introduces cutting-edge cardiac imaging beyond the exclusive echo laboratory into the routine care of frontline providers. HeartFocus has impact implications much wider than patient access and workflow efficiency. Furthermore, the HeartFocus is also a powerful training resource for medical teachers and the training of ultrasound competencies in future clinicians.
