If you are a clinic dealing with 4-5 week patient waiting times — this project developed an AI-driven tool that automates heart ultrasound analysis. It reduces the 50-85% of test time currently spent on manual measurements, allowing for faster patient throughput.
AI Automation for Faster and More Accurate Heart Ultrasound Reporting
Imagine a smart assistant for heart doctors that automatically measures and reads ultrasound images. Instead of a doctor spending an hour manually clicking and measuring a heart, the AI does the heavy lifting in seconds. It's like moving from a hand-drawn map to a GPS that instantly tells you exactly where you are and what the road looks like.
What needed solving
Heart ultrasound interpretation is a bottleneck in cardiology due to high expertise requirements and time-consuming manual measurements. This leads to 30% inaccuracy rates and patient wait times of 4-5 weeks.
What was built
An AI-driven software tool that automates the classification of heart image views, detection of heart cycle phases, and the generation of standardized reports.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a software provider dealing with fragmented diagnostic workflows — this project developed a tool that seamlessly integrates with existing hospital networks. It allows analyzed reports to be accessible on any workstation moments after images are uploaded.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with the growing availability of cheap, small ultrasound devices that lack expert users — this project developed deep learning networks to standardize reporting. This ensures quality diagnosis even when the operator lacks high-level expertise.
Quick answers
How much does the software cost to implement?
Based on available project data, specific pricing or licensing costs are not disclosed.
Can this be scaled to a national healthcare system?
The tool is designed to integrate with existing hospital network infrastructure, making it scalable across various workstations within a healthcare system.
Who owns the intellectual property or licensing rights?
Based on available project data, the project is coordinated by LIGENCE UAB, but specific IP or licensing terms are not provided.
Does the tool comply with medical reporting standards?
Yes, it follows standardized protocols curated by cardiologist associations such as the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and American Heart Association (AHA).
How does it integrate into the current hospital workflow?
It integrates with the hospital's network so that results are accessible on any workstation moments after images are uploaded to the server.
Who built it
The project is led by a single SME, LIGENCE UAB from Lithuania, with a 100% industry ratio. This lean structure suggests a highly focused commercial drive and a direct path to market without the typical delays of academic-industrial coordination.
