A wearable cardiac ultrasound imager: A delta in medical imaging

Delta: HealthTech Innovators por Roupen Odabashian

Notas del episodio
Today on Delta, we're joined by Dr. Hu, an integral engineer from Professor Sheng Xu's group from UC San Diego. They've pioneered a groundbreaking wearable ultrasound device that breaks the convention and promises to revolutionize how we perceive cardiac health monitoring. Traditional methods have limitations in continuous cardiac imaging, mostly due to device bulkiness and time consumption. However, Dr. Hu and Prof Xu group have managed to overcome these barriers, offering an ultrasonic wearable that directly assesses cardiac function in real-time. Their innovation doesn't stop there: with improved skin-device mechanical coupling, the device can examine the left ventricle dynamically, even during motion. Furthermore, their deep learning model extracts critical cardiac performance data, such as stroke volume and ejection fraction, from continuous i ...
