FDA approves AI-based software that helps doctors take ultrasound pictures of the heart
The Food and Drug Administration has approved a software product from an artificial intelligence startup that is aimed at making it easier for doctors and other medical professionals to take ultrasound pictures of the heart, also known as echocardiograms.
The technology, developed by San Francisco-based Caption Health, could help more hospitals use the diagnostic test, which currently requires expertise that is in short supply.
