iCardio.ai Joins Butterfly Garden to Deploy Its Cardiac AI Suite on Butterfly Network’s Imaging Platform

iCardio.ai’s AI suite (pending FDA 510(k) clearance) includes instant automated interpretation of dozens of measurements of the heart, valvular disease detection, and image quality assessment. With this partnership, iCardio.ai will be compatible with Butterfly’s leading imaging platform.

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2023 / iCardio.ai, a developer of deep learning algorithms for ultrasound images, today announced it has joined Butterfly Garden, an artificial intelligence (AI) Marketplace launched by Butterfly Network, Inc, (“Butterfly”) (NYSE:BFLY) a digital health company transforming care through the power of portable, semiconductor-based ultrasound technology and intuitive software. Under the agreement, iCardio.ai plans to develop and deploy its suite of cardiac ultrasound AI tools for use with Butterfly’s single-probe, whole-body handheld ultrasound system, subject to applicable approvals and authorizations.

The iCardio.ai software, which is currently pending FDA 510(k) clearance, provides a preliminary echocardiographic (echo) report that automates dozens of critical measurements of the heart, detects valvular disease such as aortic stenosis, provides image quality assessment, and more. Through this partnership, iCardio.ai and Butterfly Network aim to make these tools accessible to Butterfly’s user base of more than 100,000 providers, enabling them to take a simplified echo examination of the heart with a Butterfly probe and instantly produce a fully automated echo report. Making this AI compatible with the Butterfly probe introduces immense clinical value, with the potential to impact millions of patients globally by empowering more accessible, timely, and accurate cardiac assessment.

In August 2023, Butterfly Network launched Butterfly Garden, allowing third-party developers access to its proprietary SDK and APIs to build new AI applications that work in conjunction with Butterfly’s imaging platform, bringing with it access to the largest point-of-care ultrasound customer base. iCardio.ai, with its suite of FDA-pending artificial intelligence software, was an ideal match for the program.

“iCardio.ai brings its technology to market by partnering with PACs and Ultrasound vendors, and we are thrilled to be partnering with Butterfly Network. By combining our technologies, we are empowering the Butterfly probe with iCardio.ai’s built-in artificial intelligence software. Our ambition aims to eventually put into the hands of every person with a Butterfly device the power of a super-human AI cardiologist.” – Joseph Sokol, CEO & Founder of iCardio.ai

Darius Shahida, Butterfly Network’s Chief Strategy Officer & Chief Business Development Officer, added, “The inclusion of iCardio.ai’s powerful cardiac ultrasound AI tools in the Butterfly Garden further edifies our goal of building the leading destination for AI in ultrasound. iCardio.ai’s complementary technology will not only bring additional capabilities to our Butterfly customers, but also continue to make it easier for healthcare practitioners to use ultrasound wherever they may be.”
