Problem addressed
The Infant CHD Intelligent Diagnosis Platform aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of CHD diagnosis in infants by reducing cases of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. These can be caused by differences in medical expertise in different regions and insufficient clinical experience of doctors.
Innovation
- By embedding an intelligent diagnosis platform into ultrasound equipment, the system can perform quality assessment and quantitative analysis of scanned data. This enables it to complete standard surface recognition, parameter measurement, and z-value analysis, assisting doctors in diagnosing CHD.
- With this platform, users only need to scan and import echocardiography data to quickly obtain clinical information.
Key impact
- Requires only simple installation of the platform.
- Assists doctors in improving the diagnostic accuracy of CHD in infants.
- Promotes treatment of diseases leading to birth defects in China.
Application
- Embedded use of infant CHD intelligent diagnosis platform
