Saving lives by removing barriers to essential ultrasound imaging.

Annamarie Saarinen is a health economist, Humphrey Policy Fellow, and mother of a baby diagnosed at 3 days old with critical heart defects, speaking at NextMed Health (http://NextMed.Health).

Annamarie has spent the better part of the last decade elevating early detection, telemedicine and connected care for the most remote, underserved and medically fragile babies and children.

Globally, 95% of children lack access to ultrasound imaging. Delayed and missed diagnosis of respiratory + cardiac conditions are among the most common killers of babies and children.

Existing ultrasound solutions are expensive, immobile and can only be used in high-level medical setting by highly skilled health staff.

Bloom Standard is developing autonomous, hands-free ultrasound scans - for any user, anywhere with a simple 3 minute “place and scan”, to earlier detect heart or lung abnormalities in primary care, underserved, under-resourced, humanitarian and front line health settings.

AI-driven onboard image interpretation enables real time decision support, timely referrals, lifesaving interventions + conservation of essential health resources
