Problem
Current diagnostic pathways for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) are slow and inefficient, often involving lengthy waits for specialist appointments and test results. This delay can lead to preventable hospital deaths and increased healthcare costs. Access to ultrasound, a critical diagnostic tool, is limited, negatively impacting patient outcomes.
Solution
ThinkSono Guidance is an AI-driven ultrasound software that enables non-specialist healthcare professionals to perform DVT scans at the point of care. The software uses AI to guide users through compression ultrasound examinations, enabling fast and accurate data collection without direct oversight. Exam data is then uploaded to a cloud dashboard for rapid interpretation by a qualified clinician. This process streamlines the DVT clinical pathway, reducing the time required for diagnosis and potentially eliminating the need to transfer patients to specialist ultrasound services.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes healthcare professionals in emergency rooms, community practices, and medical wards who are not ultrasound specialists, as well as qualified clinicians seeking to streamline DVT diagnosis.
