Clarius Mobile Health and ThinkSono are collaborating to introduce an innovative AI-guided ultrasound system in Europe, aimed at enhancing the efficiency of diagnosing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Recently receiving Class IIb CE mark regulatory approval, ThinkSono Guidance complements Clarius ultrasound scanners, addressing a significant healthcare challenge. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a prevalent blood clotting disorder primarily affecting the legs, posing a considerable risk of preventable hospital deaths in Europe and the United States.
Traditionally, patients experience prolonged waits for test results conducted by ultrasound-trained clinicians. However, ThinkSono Guidance empowers non-ultrasound trained healthcare professionals to utilize Clarius handheld ultrasound scanners for DVT exam data collection, significantly reducing diagnosis time to as little as 15 minutes. This technological advancement is crucial for expediting patient care and improving outcomes in DVT management.
ThinkSono's collaboration with Clarius highlights a productive partnership aimed at advancing diagnostic pathways. Beginning with their first Clarius scanner purchase in 2017, ThinkSono has demonstrated a commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to address critical healthcare needs. By utilizing Clarius' Solum software development kit (SDK), ThinkSono has developed a tailored solution for their DVT application.
With plans to market and sell the complete solution directly in the UK, Germany, and Greece, ThinkSono aims to make this innovative technology accessible to healthcare providers across Europe. The collaboration underscores a shared commitment to innovation, with Clarius SDK suite facilitating seamless integration of AI-powered ultrasound software into Clarius systems and platforms, ensuring rapid deployment and accessibility for clinicians. This partnership represents a significant step forward in improving diagnostic capabilities and patient care in the field of ultrasound imaging.
