HeartFocus launches first clinical product in the U.S. on Butterfly Network handheld ultrasound

HeartFocus announced today that it began the U.S. commercial launch for its AI-enabled cardiac imaging software on Butterfly Network devices.

DESKi developed the HeartFocus software, earning FDA clearance in April. Now, it’s launching the software on Butterfly Network’s handheld ultrasound devices.

The software enables any healthcare professional to conduct diagnostic-quality heart ultrasounds after just hours of training. Health systems, primary care clinics, and clinical education institutions can now access the application.

After the spring FDA clearance and a successful international clinical trial, HeartFocus moves from pilot to full deployment. It aims to address barriers in cardiac care like limited access to trained sonographers and long wait times for diagnostic imaging. Within hours of training, any healthcare professional using HeartFocus can capture comprehensive echocardiographic views.
