Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) might not be the talk of the town in the world of cardiology medical devices, but the condition has a devastating effect on a large number of lives, particularly in the case of early disease onset. San Francisco-based Viz.ai Inc. has won a de novo from the U.S. FDA for its algorithm for identification of patients at risk of HCM, the aptly named Viz HCM, a product the company believes will not only save lives but may save the U.S. health care system a large amount of money as well.
Developers of medical technology have many concerns about the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) handling of coverage and reimbursement, but those controversies have typically revolved around process. A new report sponsored by industry steers a somewhat different tack, however, arguing that while there are issues of process, one key issue is that of funding, a problem that only Congress can remedy.
Histoindex Pte Ltd.'s’s artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled tissue imaging technology more accurately measures the change in fibrosis than current pathology tests, the company said.
A team from Siemens Medical Solutions Inc. presented a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that can predict people’s risk of multiple sclerosis (MS), at the 2023 American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) annual scientific meeting in Anaheim, Calif.
Premature babies face challenges in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) as their heart, lungs and neurological system continue to develop outside the womb. Roughly half of neonates born at 26 weeks to 28 weeks gestation experience respiratory distress. These infants often need extra oxygen and help breathing, as well as constant monitoring to ensure oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide (CO2) is dispelled. To that end, Etiometry Inc. received FDA clearance for its IVCO2 Index, a software tool for use in monitoring risk of hypercapnia in NICU patients weighing less than 2 kg.

Deep learning algorithms are used to remotely monitor and track just about everything these days and now that includes ordinary and chronic cough. Hyfe Inc. has launched an AI-driven remote patient monitoring (RPM) program designed to monitor cough for a whole range of serious ailments at virtual hospitals, remote care and telehealth programs across the U.S.
Medical device company Know Labs Inc. reported results from a new study showing that continued algorithm refinement combined with more high-quality data significantly increased the accuracy of its Body-Radio Frequency Identification, or Bio-RFID, sensor technology to measure and detect changes in blood glucose levels.
Mediwhale Inc. and Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea, are developing a new predicting tool combining artificial intelligence (AI) and non-invasive retinal eye examination capable of accurately predicting chronic kidney diseases before symptoms appears.
