Problem
Current cardiac assessment often requires separate imaging, ECG, and auscultation equipment, leading to fragmented workflows, delayed diagnostics, and higher operational costs in primary and specialty care settings.
Solution
Sonai delivers an integrated point‑of‑care platform that fuses a proprietary ultrasound method with synchronized heart‑sound capture, ECG, and motion sensing. The device streams raw sensor data to an on‑device AI engine that performs advanced signal processing and generates quantitative cardiac metrics within seconds. Results are uploaded to a secure cloud service where additional AI models refine risk scores and produce clinician‑ready reports. The solution supports real‑time telehealth consultations and can be embedded into existing electronic health record (EHR) systems via standard APIs, enabling faster referral decisions and earlier therapeutic intervention.
Target Audience
Primary users include primary‑care physicians, cardiology clinics, and elder‑care facilities that require rapid, comprehensive cardiac evaluation, as well as research institutions developing cardiac diagnostics.
